CDC data are disappearing

Maybe useful to someone:

https://archive.org/details/20250128-cdc-datasets

"""

An archive of all CDC datasets uploaded to https://data.cdc.gov/browse before January 28th, 2025. Excludes corrupt datasets and data not publicly accessible.

Most datasets are accompanied by an additional file ending in -meta that includes the metadata associated with the data. Attachments referenced in these files can be found in the attachments/ folder.

If you would like to seed this data to improve its redundancy please do not use the auto generated torrent, as it is incomplete. Instead use the torrent file labeled "full-20250128-cdc-datasets-USETHIS.torrent"

"""

Thanks, that is useful. Are there any other efforts to archive all the data on government websites? I suppose we could crawl archive.org.

It will only take an order making the data illegal to host to have it removed. More copies are critical.
