Resources formerly available on the CDC website have been removed:

- The HIV index page, testing information, national surveillance reports and datasets.

- Websites focused on the health of LGBTQ youth, including pages on their risk of suicide, those focused on creating safe schools for them and a page focused on health disparities among them.

- The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which tracks U.S. high school students’ health behaviors.

- A food safety page called Safer Food Choices for Pregnant People.

- AtlasPlus, a tool for analyzing CDC data on [HIV](https://www.healthday.com/a-to-z-health/infectious-disease/hiv-2665322040.html), sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis and viral [hepatitis](https://www.healthday.com/a-to-z-health/infectious-disease/hepatitis-a-648373.html)  
.

- The Social Vulnerability Index, which helps researchers and public policy leaders identify communities that are vulnerable to the effects of disasters and public health emergencies.

God knows safer food choices for pregnant people is a threat to democracy, Christianity and the MAGA way. (I’m betting its the “people” part that got it taken down.) If no data is available, the dems can’t use facts againsts us!
