On January 21, the Trump gang took down the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) website. Later they put it back up, but with a lot removed. Information about vaccines, HIV, abortion, trans issues, gender issues... all gone. 😠

Some good news: thanks to a lot of hard work by good people, you can now see the restored CDC website here:

https://restoredcdc.org/www.cdc.gov/ 🎉

It has 46,000 web pages! A bunch of the links are broken, and the videos don't work yet, but they're fixing things, and each page has a button where you can report problems.

The team doing this good work is called RestoredCDC, and they write:
