No, I telling you the CDC people are the same ones who were there under Biden. They haven't been replaced. They might be replaced, but they haven't been replaced yet.
Sure, they might be "scared", but being scared isn't an excuse for going overboard and doing things that aren't required.
They could have just left the data up and complied with the EO through the Director by saying "we are currently reviewing the data and how to comply with the EO, but will leave the existing data up until such time it can be replaced with the updated data".
But they score way more political points by yanking it all down and getting the media to fan the flames.
- icameron 2y agoHow can we know who is deleting the data? How do we know it’s a long time employee, or know it’s one of the newly appointed loyalists?
- refurb 2y agoWell wait, there isn’t evidence to suggest someone is deleting data, the website is just down. Second, as of last week Trump hasn’t appointed a new Director for the CDC yet. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-who-is-in-charge-trump-administration/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-who-is-in-charge-trump-admi... Third, I’m pretty sure Directors don’t manage the department’s website, the employees do. While the Directors may change, everyone else there is the same as before Trump got elected. They are employed by the Federal government, not appointed. Update: the message on the website now says the website is down temporarily and will be put back up soon.
