CDC, FDA Restore Webpages and Data to Comply With Federal Judge’s Order

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) complied with a judge’s order on Tuesday by restoring certain website pages and datasets that had been taken down to comply with a Trump administration order. As of Wednesday, pages that were restored include CDC information pages on adolescent health, information on HIV monitoring and testing, contraception guidance, and data on how pollution, poverty, and other factors impact certain communities. The FDA restored recommendations for enrolling more females in clinical trials, analyzing sex-specific data, and including sex-specific information in regulatory submissions. Some CDC pages that were taken down earlier this month and in January, however, were still down as of Wednesday. They included ones with titles such as “Health Disparities Among LQBTQ Youth,” “Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of Vaccine for Mpox Prevention,” “Fast Facts: HIV and Transgender People,” and the page for the U.S. global HIV program called the “President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief.”...
