DoomsdaysCW<p>As the Trump admin deletes online data, scientists and digital librarians rush to save it</p><p>The race is on to save public information about health and science before Trump makes it disappear</p><p>"Deleting gobs of public data/resources as well is the digital equivalent of book burning."</p><p>By Carlyn Zwarenstein <br>Published February 4, 2025 11:46AM (EST)<br>Updated February 5, 2025 8:34PM (EST) </p><p>"Orders from the Trump administration affecting science and health in the United States — and from there, the world — are coming thick and fast, affecting a myriad of institutional and personal decisions that depend on accurate information provided by the U.S. government. This ranges from websites disappearing to the prohibition of dictionary words from federal scientist research papers. Now researchers and data nerds are rushing to preserve this vital information before it’s lost.</p><p>"Meanwhile, many public communications have been paused as well. For the first time in sixty years, the federal health agency, the Centers for Disease Control (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDC</span></a>), has stopped its own publications, including the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MMWR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MMWR</span></a>). This comes on top of a communications gag order preventing its scientists from sharing any new findings — from new insights in cancer treatment to potential new pandemics like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ebola" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ebola</span></a> — with the public.</p><p>"Additionally, it orders that a list of specific terms be removed from any CDC research manuscript being submitted to, already being considered, or already in press by any scientific or medical journal, with publication paused or retracted until the terms are scrubbed from the work. The terms in question are: Gender, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transgender</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PregnantPerson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PregnantPerson</span></a>, pregnant people, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBT</span></a>, transsexual, non-binary, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nonbinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonbinary</span></a>, assigned male at birth, assigned female at birth, biologically male, biologically female.</p><p>"A quick search by Salon of PubMed, the National Institutes of Health-run database of academic biomedical and health publications as well as related disciplines like life sciences and chemical sciences, shows that it currently contains 145,340 pages’ worth of results (1,453,391individual publications) featuring the term '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a>,' and 5,613 publications with the term '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transexual</span></a>,' with papers dating back to 1903.</p><p>"Since most medical science papers report demographic details, excluding papers that report this information or use this language would mean un-publishing exciting new findings on cancer treatment, or, say, vital information about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/H5N1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>H5N1</span></a> transmission among American <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> or the ongoing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tuberculosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tuberculosis</span></a> outbreak in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KansasCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KansasCity</span></a> area. The exact implications of President Trump’s orders are not entirely clear, so it’s hard to say exactly what may not be published as a result, but pre-emptive self-censorship is also likely. On Monday, some of the pages had already been restored, according to the New York Times, underscoring the unpredictable status of some federal information.</p><p>"In the meantime, a general communications gag order bans any CDC scientist from submitting any new scientific findings to the public. As federally-funded health websites and webpages disappear in real time from the Internet, the race is on to preserve vital datasets and formerly public information.</p><p>"Charles Gaba, a health care policy data analyst and web developer, created links on his website to every mirrored copy of the CDC’s public facing web pages as they appear on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InternetArchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetArchive</span></a>, a nearly 30-year-old non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the internet from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DataDecay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataDecay</span></a>.</p><p>"'These pages and related files are both funded by taxpayers and specifically intended to be for the general public, after all,' Gaba told Salon.
