It's A Digital Disease!

Buddy of mine who works at CDC just texted me. He said he just got out of a meeting where they received direction to delete all mentions of trans people from the website—all webpages dedicated to them, and even minor mentions on generic pages, even including "pregnant people." Reference citations to papers with "pregnant people" in the title need to be rewritten or removed. All data associated with trans people is to be deleted. This all needs to happen by tomorrow afternoon, which is an impossible timeline. I told him that's probably on purpose. They want him to fail so they can fire him.

We gotta screenshot pages like this while we still can: https://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment-guidelines/trans.htm

https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/data-research/facts-stats/transgender-people.html

As a fellow PH practitioner, I am fucking appalled. By next week, trans people won't exist according to the CDC.
