The Restored CDC website is a volunteer-based initiative to replicate and maintain access to public health data that was impacted by the Trump Administration's policies. The site mirrors information available until January 20 and aims to restore navigability for users seeking crucial data. While the team focuses on re-establishing links and making historical data accessible, they do not plan to update current CDC reports. This effort highlights the significance of reliable government data for public health and research.
"I felt that we could restore any data sets that people might not have access to anymore because these were publicly funded data," an epidemiologist on the team told Axios.
"That information is necessary to make informed health decisions," the person said.
"We still have some work to do and we want to make a comparison tool where you could compare what the site used to say and compare it to what it says now," the person added.
A staggering amount of commercial and research activity hinges upon free access to reliable government data.
