CDC data are disappearing

Wait a second.

The EO in question doesn't require that all mentions of more than two genders be taken down (beyond a few specific policies).

The CDC immediately pulls down data that went beyond the requirements of the EO.

And now Democrats are saying "this is so scary, data is disappearing!!"

But it was Democrats that took the data down without being required to do so?

You're assuming the CDC is democrats? You don't think maybe the CDC staff were just rushed and scared by a rampaging executive?

No, I telling you the CDC people are the same ones who were there under Biden. They haven't been replaced. They might be replaced, but they haven't been replaced yet.

Sure, they might be "scared", but being scared isn't an excuse for going overboard and doing things that aren't required.

They could have just left the data up and complied with the EO through the Director by saying "we are currently reviewing the data and how to comply with the EO, but will leave the existing data up until such time it can be replaced with the updated data".

But they score way more political points by yanking it all down and getting the media to fan the flames.

How can we know who is deleting the data? How do we know it’s a long time employee, or know it’s one of the newly appointed loyalists?
