US Federal Websites Purge Vaccine, LGBT Information Amidst Rising Fears of Systemic Erasure
Following a presidential memo, numerous federal websites, including those of the CDC and HHS, have removed LGBT health information and data on certain vaccines. This action complies with executive orders banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and recognizing only two sexes. Consequently, pages on topics such as the monkeypox vaccine, youth health disparities, and the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey are inaccessible or have been altered. The changes reflect a broader effort to eliminate government promotion of “gender ideology,” causing significant disruption across multiple agencies.
