Update. "Massive, Unarchivable Datasets of Cancer, Covid, and Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever"

(#paywalled)

"Almost two dozen repositories of research and public #health #data supported by the #NIH are marked for “review” under the #Trump administration’s direction, and researchers and archivists say the data is at risk of being lost forever if the repositories go down. “The problem with archiving this data is that we can’t,” Lisa Chinn, Head of Research Data Services at the University of Chicago…Unlike other government datasets or web pages, downloading or otherwise archiving NIH data often requires a Data Use Agreement between a researcher institution and the agency, and those agreements are carefully administered through a disclosure risk review process."

"In 2021, Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., now serving as the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, seemingly endorsed the idea of 'race as #biology ' when he stated:

'We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to whites because their immune system is better than ours.'

The CDC says there have been 6 measles #outbreaks so far this year.
