If you think this sounds familiar, you're not wrong. When Trump took the term of the president in 2017, scientists, archives and libraries at the University of Pennsylvania Race to save The data is published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and NOAA. Another group in Michigan, also afraid of EPA and NOAA websites will lose valuable information, done A similar move. The websites have been backed up to the Internet storage; Large data sets have been packed online to keep it safely.
At that time, researchers were not sure that the coming government would find ways to delete any information. It is like a hunch, one of the things that proved before, later led by the appointed person and the administrator of Trump Scott Pruitt, EPA began to delete information about climate change from his website in April 2017, 2017,To reflect the approach of new leadership. “
From 2017 to 2021, more than 1,400 pages related to climate change on government websites have been changed or less accessible, according to Data is compiled By edgi. That, the Gretchen Gehrke, the leader of Edgi's website monitoring program, is not a comprehensive list of changes, because some changes are the same as remove The Viking climate change from the navigation page of EPA.GOV is only calculated once but affects some other pages.
I think there is a lot of awareness about the precarious of the federal information after experiencing the Trump administration first, according to Mr. Ge Gehrke. Following the Trump campaign became actually obsessed with transgender people and knowing the history of suppressing the Trump administration, everyone was and worried that the information was at risk.
That is why BECCIA is interested. Data sets such as the data sets in YRB are very small and lost and lost it may be a disaster for those who want to know about the health and happiness of youth transit in the US.
Despite the current years Directly on the CDC websiteIt has disappeared for a short time, along with data on food and pharmaceutical management agencies and websites of the Ministry of Health and Human Services, earlier this year. order From the Human Resource Management Office that it was removed to comply with Trump's executive commands.
The information was returned in mid -February when the Judge of the United States John Bates, answered a lawsuit From the doctors to the US, the temporary ban has been restored and the website has been restored. The exemption of liability at the top of the YRBS page said that any information on this page promotes the ideological system to be extremely inaccurate, in addition, this page does not reflect the biological reality and therefore the government and department rejected it.
Tazlina Mannix worked for the YRBS program in Alaska from 2015 to 2023, both as a data coordinator and data management. She noted that even when CDC holds data online, the refusal as on the site now makes it difficult for researchers to do their work. Collecting public health data depends on relationships with people in the Department of Health and the Chief Academic. For those people any reason to hesitate to be able to put you back to zero, she said. When I first saw (refusing that responsibility), I was very horrified. This language is very extreme, and it is also true.
