Restricting access to public health information is highly concerning and detrimental to the well-being of the nation. Government websites are crucial resources for medical professionals, researchers, and the general public to obtain accurate and up-to-date information on vital health issues. The recent removal of thousands of pages from federal websites, including resources on contraception, gender-affirming care, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV prevention, undermines the ability to address pressing health challenges effectively. The disappearance of these resources not only limits access to vital medical knowledge but also jeopardizes the ability to conduct replicable and reproducible scientific research. Suppressing or altering factual data weakens our capacity to respond to outbreaks, mental health crises, and other public health emergencies. Hiding or distorting information puts lives at risk, particularly among vulnerable populations. I urge you to take immediate action to restore and preserve the integrity of these public health resources. Ensuring access to accurate and comprehensive information is crucial for protecting the well-being of all Americans and maintaining public trust in scientific evidence and medical expertise. Limiting or censoring such information is deeply disrespectful to the efforts of medical professionals, researchers, and survey participants who contribute to advancing public health.
