"As vaccination rates among children continue to plummet, concerns are rising over the potential for infectious diseases to spread rampantly in the coming years and decades. Research published in the medical journal JAMA suggests a continued decline could lead to millions of infections from diseases currently considered under control or eradicated."

"Data manipulation within the US Federal Government."

"A US Department of Veterans Affairs dataset compiling veteran health-care use in 2021 was quietly amended on March 5, 2025. A column titled #gender was renamed #sex, and the words were also switched in the dataset title and description…Before March 5, the dataset had not been modified since it was published in 2022. As of May 1, the dataset change log, in which modifications should be tracked, is empty. The switch from gender to sex also occurred in other public health datasets, including US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (#CDC) datasets tracking global adult tobacco consumption, stroke mortality data from 2015 to 2017, and a survey of nutrition, physical activity, and obesity…The agencies involved have not issued any statements confirming or explaining these changes."

PS: If these agencies think the label change ("gender" → "sex") is significant, then they are deliberately misrepresenting the data. If they think the terms are synonymous, then why are they bothering?

Fentanyl is supposed to be a huge problem, that's per Trump-himself. He campaigned on it. I guess it really isn't.

Data manipulation within the US Federal Government [1]

Government datasets modified without notice.

We gathered metadata from the US Department of Health and Human Services, CDC, and Veterans Affairs database harvest sources [... ] that were modified between Jan 20 and March 25, 2025.

We found that 114 (49%) of the 232 included datasets were substantially altered.

SOME CHANGES

- “Social determinants of health” to “non
medical factors”
- “Gender” to “sex”
- “female details” column deleted

The agencies involved have not issued any statements confirming or explaining these changes [...]

Despite Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr's (Department of Health and Humana Services) calls for “radical transparency”, unlogged data manipulation moves away from meaningful transparency.

Only 15 (13%) of the 114 altered datasets logged or otherwise indicated that the change had occurred.

"Cases of COVID-19 are now likely growing in 25 states, according to estimates published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday, as this year's summer wave of the virus appears to be getting underway.

The agency's modeling suggests that the uptick is in 'many' Southeast, Southern and West Coast states, the CDC said in its weekly update."
