It’s terrifying that data US taxpayers paid for, collected and analyzed in the name of public health, can be removed on a whim. While there are a lot of efforts to archive said data, it would still make it unavailable to Americans who are not tech savvy. Unfortunately, that seems to be the idea, I think.

It is terrifying. Especially since the Executive Order didn't require it.

Why is the CDC taking down data when it's not required to do so?
