Some accurate medical information was removed from the CDC\u2019s website last month, and we gave you some tips<\/u><\/a> on where to look for archived versions and for sources of similar information. Now, there\u2019s a nearly complete mirror of the CDC website<\/a> being hosted in Europe, so you can look up information on HIV, health for trans people, and other topics that really shouldn\u2019t be controversial, but for some reason are.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of the removed information has been reinstated by court order, but it comes with a disclaimer at the top of the page that somehow manages to be insulting, incorrect, sensationalist, and inflammatory. Just what you need when you want to know, say, who is most vulnerable to HIV<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Screenshot of CDC page on \"Fast Facts: HIV and Transgender People\" featuring a yellow box disclaimer that says \"Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of 11:59PM ET, February 14, 2025. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.\"\n <\/div>\n

As 404 Media reports<\/u><\/a>, the archive\u2019s creators say it is being hosted in Europe, and the pages were downloaded with the help of the DataHoarder<\/u><\/a> community on Reddit. Unlike many of the other goverment data archiving projects, this one aims to build a fully functional version of the CDC website, including the links between pages, and interactive elements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They haven\u2019t entirely accomplished that goal; a note at the top of the page says that they are working on getting videos added to the archive. Notably, the search function sends you back to www.cdc.gov<\/a> instead of keeping you on the restoredcdc.org<\/a> site, so if you want to find a specific page, you\u2019re best off finding an old link, and then typing in \u201chttps:\/\/restoredcdc.gov\/\u201d<\/a> just before the URL. For example, https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/hiv\/data-research\/facts-stats\/transgender-people.html<\/u><\/a> becomes https:\/\/restoredcdc.org\/www.cdc.gov\/hiv\/data-research\/facts-stats\/transgender-people.html<\/u><\/a> .<\/p>\n

But for most information, the website is still present and functional. Trans health information is still there, without<\/em> the insulting disclaimer. The page on health equity guiding principles for inclusive communication<\/u><\/a> is up at the archive, even though it\u2019s still missing from cdc.gov<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is still one major gap, though: current<\/em> information on outbreaks and other developing situations. The CDC is not updating information at restoredcdc.org<\/a>. It’s a static archive of what was available in January. So if you want to check the numbers on the current measles outbreak<\/a>, or see what’s going on with bird flu<\/a>, the regular CDC website is still the place where that stuff is getting updated. For now, anyway. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
