On Data Purge Eve, many people stayed up late to save the CDC website. @charles_gaba downloaded the whole thing. đź‘‘

A group of us are working to make these preserved data an accessible & publicly available resource. More to come, but get started here 👇🏻

acasignups.net/25/02/02/llink…
Page 2. These data were generated with US taxpayer dollars. They belong to the American people. CDC made them available to the world.

Deleting these data is theft. Deletion disobedience is how we take back what is ours.

acasignups.net/25/02/02/links…
Page 3. Censoring data on ideological grounds is wrong. It is unscientific and it is designed to eliminate opposition and erase dissidents.

acasignups.net/25/02/02/links…
Page 4. Only 11 more to go. The CDC's website contained a lot of information.

acasignups.net/25/02/02/links…
Page 5. This is critical public health data and it belongs in the public domain.

acasignups.net/25/02/02/links…
Page 6. Probably the last one for today but the rest are on the way.
acasignups.net/25/02/02/links…
Page 7. If you find any broken links, DM me or let us know in the replies.
acasignups.net/25/02/02/links…
Page 8. New day, new set of links.
acasignups.net/25/02/03/links…
Page 9. Again, please let us know if you find any broken links. DM or reply to me or @charles_gaba.
acasignups.net/25/02/03/links…
Page 10. Just a few more pages to go. CDC's website was big.
acasignups.net/25/02/03/links…
Page 11. When all 15 are posted, we'll also share a mega file that includes all the archive links.
acasignups.net/25/02/03/links…
Page 12. Please let us know about broken links or any other problems you encounter.
acasignups.net/25/02/03/links…
Page 13. We'd love feedback on how this resource can be more accessible. Please let me know if you have ideas!
acasignups.net/25/02/03/links…
Page 14. Only one more to go.

acasignups.net/25/02/03/links…
Page 15/15. Finally all here. Next up we'll fix any broken links or errors people find and think about ways to make this even easier to access and use.

But we managed to save this from oblivion. Hope it helps.

Out today in @ForeignPolicy: I wrote about what will happen if there is an H5N1 pandemic with Robert F Kennedy, Jr. in charge of safeguarding the health of Americans.

If RFK Jr is leading HHS & H5N1 begins spreading human to human, the deaths will be counted in millions.🧵👇 Image
RFK Jr already has a sizable body count (in every sense of the term, but here I'm talking about counting corpses and not sexual partners).

If he has control over HHS in a flu pandemic, deaths attributable to him will increase by orders of magnitude.

foreignpolicy.com/2025/01/30/rfk…
Independent of RFK, this is why we're dealing with H5N1. We've known about it since 1997, but in 2020 a new strain emerged that has spread among birds globally since 2021. For more than a year, it has been spreading unchecked in US dairy cows. As a virologist, I am very worried. Image

@annamerlan asked me to go over the science around some of the claims about raw milk that Mark McAfee, Raw Farm owner and unpasteurized milk evangelist, has made and this shit is wild.

Buckle up for H5N1 denialism, anti-vax, magical antiviral compounds,
McAfee calls H5N1 "a huge scam...by pharma to create fear & produce a new vaccine."

He doesn't think H5N1 is dangerous & says nobody has gotten sick from drinking raw milk or has anything to fear if they've got a "strong microbiome."

Except for all those dead cats, I guess. Image
What biosafety practices are being employed in his "on-farm pathogen lab"? They say virologists are reckless but this dude is doing DIY pathogen diagnostics for assessing food safety—risk to staff and the consumer with substandard biosafety practices in this setting. Image

This is bad news. It suggests reassortment of circulating H5N1 viruses with viruses containing N9 NA.

Although this indicates reassortment with avian viruses, it's still bad. Reassortment makes pandemics. The last 3/4 flu pandemics (and maybe 1918 too) were reassortant viruses.
Reassortment is what happens when 2 flu viruses infect the same host. Because influenza A viruses have segmented genomes divided into 8 pieces of RNA, these can be mixed up in new progeny viruses during replication in a co-infected host.

This leads to unpredictable new viruses.
Although the same clade as the H5N1 viruses currently spreading, this H5N9 virus is a different genotype (clade is determined by HA, genotype is the whole virus).

We need to do more surveillance to limit opportunities for different viruses to reassort.

Would we see a large outbreak in animals if the pandemic started by zoonosis (which it did) as opposed to a lab (which it didn’t)?

Not necessarily. We wouldn’t expect SARS-CoV-2 to impact all hosts equally. What is true for humans may not be true for an intermediate host.
The idea that a big outbreak would occur among “intermediate-host(s)-du-jour” is based on multiple assumptions that the host and humans are:

-equally susceptible
-equally permissive
-same tissue tropism
-similar pathogenicity
-similar clinical disease
-same mode of transmission
Susceptibility: can the virus get in to cause an infection?

We already know ACE2 from different species have vastly different binding affinities for spike RBD. Sometimes this matters for function as an entry receptor, sometimes not. But to infect a host, a virus has to get in.

New year, new fave conspiracy theory: the global shadow government is spraying infectious fog across the entire northern hemisphere with those possibly alien drones everyone was seeing a couple weeks back. The mystery virus has symptoms exactly like seasonal respiratory viruses.
It doesn’t look like fog because it’s full of floating droplets of something that might be normal fog ingredients (aka water) or it might be carcinogens and/or viruses Image
I get some pretty wild emails and one of my favorite correspondents hypothesizes that VOGs (volcanic gas emissions) are causing COVID and SARS-CoV-2 was an elaborate false flag operation to hide the real threat.

Your moment is now, VOG guy!!! Carpe VOGem! Image

Has a NIH Director ever appeared in cult-funded propaganda claiming that ivermectin, a drug that doesn't work to treat COVID, was the victim of a conspiracy to obtain FDA authorization for vaccines that do actually work?

There's a first time for everything, I guess. Image
Because in this Covid Collateral "documentary," Jay Bhattacharya implies that ivermectin was suppressed because it would prevent vaccines from getting regulatory approval.

Actually, FDA discouraged ivermectin use because it doesn't work!
importantcontext.news/p/trump-nih-pi…
And in case it's not clear, suggesting that federal drug regulators were conspiring against ivermectin, a drug that again does not work, to promote vaccines that do is an inherently anti-vaccine position. It's also an unscientific conspiracy theory that has no basis in evidence. Image
