The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has removed crucial datasets from its website, leaving health experts without vital information. As of Monday, 146 datasets vanished, dropping from 1,508 in December to 1,362, according to the Internet Archive. This significant loss of data has serious implications for public health research and policy, with experts now flying 'absolutely blind' without access to key statistics. The disappearance of these datasets raises concerns about transparency and accountability in healthcare, highlighting the need for reliable and accessible data in the fight against diseases and epidemics, including COVID-19 and infectious disease prevention.
