Under the Trump administration, federal websites are systematically removing essential health and climate data, raising alarms among researchers and public health advocates. Key resources from the CDC, such as the social vulnerability index and the environmental justice index, have already been taken down, and experts are concerned this trend could worsen. While archiving initiatives are underway to preserve vital data, the ongoing deletion could hinder efforts to address health risks in vulnerable communities, especially as the administration targets information related to climate change and social equity.
Key resources for environmental data and public health have already been taken down from federal websites, and more could soon vanish as the Trump administration works to scrap anything that has to do with climate change, racial equity, or gender identity.
Researchers have been archiving government websites for months. This is typical with every change in administration, but there was even more imperative with the return of Donald Trump to office.
