"The Trump administration has delayed and may cancel roughly $140 million in grants to fund fentanyl overdose response efforts, according to four staff members with close knowledge of the process at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

"As vaccination rates among children continue to plummet, concerns are rising over the potential for infectious diseases to spread rampantly in the coming years and decades. Research published in the medical journal JAMA suggests a continued decline could lead to millions of infections from diseases currently considered under control or eradicated."

"A US Department of Veterans Affairs dataset compiling veteran health-care use in 2021 was quietly amended on March 5, 2025. A column titled #gender was renamed #sex, and the words were also switched in the dataset title and description…Before March 5, the dataset had not been modified since it was published in 2022. As of May 1, the dataset change log, in which modifications should be tracked, is empty. The switch from gender to sex also occurred in other public health datasets, including US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (#CDC) datasets tracking global adult tobacco consumption, stroke mortality data from 2015 to 2017, and a survey of nutrition, physical activity, and obesity…The agencies involved have not issued any statements confirming or explaining these changes."

PS: If these agencies think the label change ("gender" → "sex") is significant, then they are deliberately misrepresenting the data. If they think the terms are synonymous, then why are they bothering?

Fentanyl is supposed to be a huge problem, that's per Trump-himself. He campaigned on it. I guess it really isn't.

“For decades, #reproductive care in the United States has been considered a #women’s issue. Among heterosexual couples struggling to conceive, #infertility is roughly as likely to stem from male factors as from female ones. Yet in up to 25 percent of infertility cases, the male partner is never evaluated. … According to #CDC data, approximately one in six #IVF cycles is initiated solely due to #maleinfertility.”

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.
