Data manipulation within the US Federal Government [1]

👉Government datasets modified without notice.

▪️We gathered metadata from the US Department of Health and Human Services, CDC, and Veterans Affairs database harvest sources [... ] that were modified between Jan 20 and March 25, 2025.

▪️We found that 114 (49%) of the 232 included datasets were substantially altered.

⭐SOME CHANGES⭐

- “Social determinants of health” to “non
medical factors”
- “Gender” to “sex”
- “female details” column deleted

▪️The agencies involved have not issued any statements confirming or explaining these changes [...]

▪️Despite Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr's (Department of Health and Humana Services) calls for “radical transparency”, unlogged data manipulation moves away from meaningful transparency.

▪️Only 15 (13%) of the 114 altered datasets logged or otherwise indicated that the change had occurred.

"Cases of COVID-19 are now likely growing in 25 states, according to estimates published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday, as this year's summer wave of the virus appears to be getting underway.

The agency's modeling suggests that the uptick is in 'many' Southeast, Southern and West Coast states, the CDC said in its weekly update."

The bacteria is transmitted through the bites of infected fleas that can spread it between rodents, pets & humans.

People can also get #plague through touching infected bodily fluids. #Health experts recommend taking extra care when handling dead or sick animals.

Most cases happen in rural areas of northern New Mexico, northern Arizona, southern Colorado, California, southern Oregon & far western Nevada, according to the #CDC.

Raj's dashboard, updated this morning, shows PQ.2 as standout child of Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ; Stratus XFG overtaken by child XFG.2; and LP.8.1 long ago overshadowed by LP.8.1.1/ NY.

FDA vaccine target LP.8.1, dominant since March, plateaued in April. June saw Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ, scion of "razor-blade throat" XDV, push LP.8.1 out of majority.

#CDC's most recent Friday dataset, updated Tuesday June 24, showed Nimbus taking plurality, with Stratus XFG family also gaining share.

Despite notice of moving to "longer reporting periods", for reason of "low number of sequences being reported" (see dot-hatching in below chart reflecting"less reliable" data), now three-weeks old dataset was still for periods two-weeks each.

New pediatric #flu deaths for 2024-25 continue to be reported to #CDC; last week 4 more were added. The latest occurred in mid-June.
There've been a staggering 260 deaths in '24-25, the worst year (except the 2009 pandemic) since CDC started tracking peds flu deaths. #CDC reports that of the kids who died who were eligible for vaccine (ie 6 months & older) & for from vaccination status is know, 89% hadn't been vaxed for the 2024-25 season.
There was vaccine available. In 2009, during the pandemic, vaccine became available as the major wave subsided.

FluViewWeekly US Influenza Surveillance Report: Key Updates for Week 27, ending July 5, 2025Par CDC

"#BirdFlu remains a risk in the U.S., but we don’t know as much about its threat level because the #CDC stopped conducting much surveillance some time ago. They never did the kind of studies some experts had wanted... More than 20% of the Veterinary Services arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and 16% of those in the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service have left in response to President #Trump and #ElonMusk’s efforts to shrink the government." forbes.com/sites/judystone/202

ForbesCDC Bird Flu Response Cuts Could Lead To Another PandemicCutting surveillance for bird flu, combined with RFK Jr's proposed “let ‘er rip” approach to poultry infections would be dangerous. This is why.

"A pregnant physician who was denied a Covid vaccine is suing the Trump admin alongside a group of leading doctors associations, charging that the admin sought to “desensitize the public to anti-vaccine & anti-science rhetoric."

The lawsuit specifically takes aim at #RFKJR’s unilateral decision to recommend against Covid vaccines for pregnant women & healthy children."

:boost_requested: Suggestion for tomorrow if you are in the US: Forgo your stars and stripes, your red white and blues. Wear a shirt that celebrates something that is being cut.
Wear that PBS shirt
Dust the NASA shirt out of the corner of your closet
Pull out the public high school t you used to wear weekly
Maybe you have an NPR shirt from a fundraising drive
What about a Library shirt? or at least a shirt with books?
Sure it isn't June anymore, but a Pride shirt is also heckin appropriate
A shirt supporting those with disabilities or pro vaccines or scientific research, or maybe a NOAA or NWS shirt?

No one should be wearing stars and stripes tomorrow. NO ONE.

I have heard from more than one Native person to fly the flag of the land you are on is a good way to show support as well. If you don't know whose land you currently occupy, check out native-land.ca/
