A federal judge has ordered the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to restore deleted webpages containing vital public health information. This ruling comes after concerns were raised about the removal of online resources related to COVID-19, influenza, and other critical topics from government websites. The judge emphasized the importance of preserving and providing access to these materials in the public interest. I urge you to ensure the prompt compliance of these agencies with the court order, enabling the reinstatement of these crucial webpages. Transparency and the free flow of science-based health information are paramount for maintaining public trust and enabling citizens to make informed decisions about their well-being.
