An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop the public health information blackout by the Trump administration

4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

We are rapidly, abruptly losing health information because of the Trump regime. Studies—including on treatment for cancer, heart disease, and other conditions many of us have—being yanked from publication because of orders Trump signed. Public information about cancer screening, teen health, and bird flu and other contagious diseases, is disappearing, too. A leading virus specialist told Science (in a paywalled post), "It’s like a data apocalypse."Heroic grassroots efforts brought back some databases, but the future of our nation's valuable health information is compromised. These reports are backed by a Washington Post story. Many of the data sources and the studies being pulled are funded by our tax dollars, either directly or indirectly, through support of nonprofit organizations, universities and schools, and businesses. I demand that you, as our elected representative, stand up and fight for our right to information we paid for. Thank you.
