Last week a CDC webpage about vaccine safety was edited.

Using the "Changes" feature of the Wayback Machine we can see a "before and after" comparison:

The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is the change control system the web never had.

Status update: fiber cut between data centers - trucks are rolling. Services are slow but functional, except for the Wayback Machine, which is still offline.
The Wayback Machine, openlibrary.org, and some other archive.org functions are offline because some network gear has failed.

We apologize and are working on it. More as it happens.
