The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has deleted a web page proclaiming gun violence as a public health crisis, originally stated by former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy in June 2024. This advisory received support from at least ten medical organizations. The removal aligns with President Trump's executive order to review actions taken by the Biden administration aimed at promoting public safety. Although a PDF on firearm violence still exists, it leads to a "Page Not Found" when accessed, highlighting confusion and potential shifts in policy stance.
"Firearm violence is an urgent public health crisis that has led to loss of life, unimaginable pain, and profound grief for far too many Americans."
