Vaxxed to the maxx.

The latest issue of Skeptical Inquirer is dedicated to fighting back.

The US federal government used to provide several datasets and dashboards from the Health Resources and Services Administration on the Ryan White Act. Those are being taken down.
HIV/AIDS research and progress is being systematically destroyed.

Update: The journal now plans to retract the article.

NIH and PubMed were both down for me today.

PubMed is offline. It's almost as if we saw this coming. See my @medpagetoday.bsky.social article from Wednesday.

I've spent so long contributing to the data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in the realm of HIV. Seeing it be taken down, altered, and erased is insane. We must fight to preserve our knowledge. People died for this. The least we can do is not allow the knowledge to be lost.

I've been going through the CDC website attempting to download certain sections and pages that are in danger of being removed or rewritten for political purposes. When I attempted to download 3 of the brochures about PrEP, they were no longer available.

As of today, Dec 14th, 2024, a correction has not even been made.

I emailed the journal to make an official inquiry into the potential COI of the aforementioned article. While they claim an investigation found that the results were not impacted, they said they would issue a correction.

Thanks for the pick up!
