Long COVID prevalence data are among CDC information taken offline following Trump order to remove “gender ideology” references.
John Hopkins covid data was stored on GitHub. If github ever took it down, it would be insanely trivial to push it to a new remote on gitlab or codeberg.
Its a fucking mistake to store public healthcare data on a centralized website instead of a decentralized VCS like git.
I hope we learn this lesson.
I think it would also be a mistake for public data to be stored on something microsoft owns.
Did you read what I said? Even if you use Microsoft servers, its portable.
Yes but on principle someone who wants to access public data shouldn’t have to interact with microsoft.
Sure, so mirror the git repo. Easy.
This isn’t the first chunk of data pulled from CDC’s website that I’ve seen. I’m curious, does anyone know of any archives elsewhere some of us can help backup offsite?

More attacking of the vulnerable. These are the values of your neighbors.
When is the next Trump impeachment? We haven’t had any for a while, it feels like. Maybe they can finally make one stick.
The impeachments stuck, both of them. The problem was that once it came to actual consequences for that guilty verdict, Republicans decided that they were okay with what he did. Guess what? They’re fine with what he’s doing now too.
Two years at the earliest. Republicans control the House.
Doesn’t matter unless you can get 67 decent people in the Senate. 33 will be up for vote in 2026. 20 of those are held by Republicans.
Currently 45 democrats. 2 independents. They would need to claim all 20 of those seats in 2026, while the Republicans manipulate all of the mainstream media that is being pushed to the populous.
Yeah, conviction isn’t happening. The House just needs a majority to bring articles of impeachment. At the very least, they seem to grab a lot of media attention.
Not gonna happen.
Ah okay we should just give up, got it.
Here, let me acquaint you with reality: impeachment or the threat thereof has been of ZERO CONSEQUENCE for over half a fucking century.
No, nobody’s saying to give up, but impeachment is a dead end. After Trump is Vance, after him, it’s Mike Johnson, and after him…
You would have to remove the majority of the Republican Party. They’re not going to impeach or recall themselves.
The next steps are boycotts and sabotage.
Just for the record if the president is impeached Johnson doesn’t become VP, Vance picks his choice of VP. Only if both Trump and Vance were removed at once would he move up.

At least that’s still up for now.
Trump’s administration has ordered federal government staff to remove any references to “gender ideology” on public websites, NBC News reported, with a deadline of Friday afternoon.
Nice to see them finally admit that gender is a social construct.
Too bad it’s in a “not that way!!!” sort of way.
