Abstract
Health data hosted by the U.S. federal government have been disappearing. According to our analysis, between January 21 and February 11, 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) removed 203 datasets (13% of its online datasets, a reduction from 1519 to 1316). The situation is dynamic; various datasets have been removed, restored, manipulated, or not posted as planned.
