This is excellent reporting. Also, that headline is admirably clear. Good job!

All those CDC vaccine pages that got a "this page is being revised" message yesterday? Those messages have disappeared. Other than that, the only change on these was updating the adult immunization table for the 2025-2026 Covid vaccines: www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp...

ACIP Meeting Information ACIP holds three regular meetings each year. Learn about upcoming meetings and view materials.

The CDC ACIP meeting that had been scheduled for October 22 and 23rd is now "to be determined." www.cdc.gov/acip/meeting...

The CDC has added text to most of its vaccine pages saying the site is being updated for its finalized recommendations. The actual update doesn't seem to have happened yet though.

Example page: www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp...

Screencap of banner text that says: The Trump Administration is working to reopen the government for the American people. Mission-critical activities of CDC will continue during the Democrat-led government shutdown. Certain federal government activities have ceased due to a lack of appropriated funding. During the government shutdown, only web sites supporting excepted functions will be updated. As a result, the information on this website may not be up to date and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries. With the sentence "Certain federal government activities have ceased due to a lack of appropriated funding. " highlighted.

White House: oh noes the smooth operation of the government has been thwarted by messing with the sacred congressional appropriations process!

The Trump Administration is working to reopen the government for the American people. Mission-critical activities of CDC will continue during the Democrat-led government shutdown. Certain federal government activities have ceased due to a lack of appropriated funding. During the government shutdown, only web sites supporting excepted functions will be updated. As a result, the information on this website may not be up to date and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries.

Some CDC sites have been augmented with some anti-Democratic Party propaganda. See for example this on www.cdc.gov/ncird/divisi....

Left out is the part where the CR would pass if the GOP stopped trying to screw Americans out of healthcare, while bailing out Argentina & building the Trump ballroom.

Also the War on Woke continues, with the CDC changing mpox to monkeypox on www.cdc.gov/laboratory-s....

New World Screwworm Outbreak Current situation on the New World screwworm outbreak in Central America and Mexico.

The CDC has a new situation summary up on the New World Screwworm outbreak: www.cdc.gov/new-world-sc...

Find pharmacies near you Vaccines.gov helps you find nearby pharmacies in the United States.

Vaccines.gov stopped working a while ago, but Moderna has a vax finder: products.modernatx.com/finder. You can find non-pharmacies that theoretically have a supply in your area here. Note: the website seems to prefer Chrome based browsers over Firefox.

Many pharmacies won't vaccinate children under 2-3 (varies by state; don't know the situation in NM). In that case, you will have to seek out a non-pharmacy provider who stocks Moderna SpikeVax, the covid vax that is approved under children under 5.

Risk of Clade I Monkeypox Outbreaks Among U.S. MSM - Update CDC modeled the impact of mpox population-level immunity and transmissibility on MSM.

I hope whoever removed the scourge of mpox from www.cdc.gov/cfa-modeling... knows about global search and replace.

Question: when they change the URL, will they redirect or just let all the old links to rot? I'm betting on the latter, since that's how RFK Jr rolls.

NWSS Wastewater Monitoring in the U.S. U.S. wastewater monitoring, National Wastewater Surveillance System

The CDC purge of ultra-woke mpox continues today, with the replacement of mpox with monkeypox all over the wastewater pages (e.g. www.cdc.gov/nwss/) and renaming of the mpox sitemap.

Someone has decreed that the term mpox is woke and we should all use the term monkeypox in order to make America great again. Thus, some poor person spent pretty much this entire day changing references to mpox to monkeypox in the CDC's Yellow Book website.

Government efficiency, y'all.

They made some poor CDC staffer go through all the mpox-related pages (like www.cdc.gov/han/2024/han...) and change the text from mpox to monkeypox. Because woke.

CDC has been busy revamping their marketing materials for the flu shot. They disappeared www.cdc.gov/flu-resource..., a campaign that encourages Black and Hispanic people to get vaccinated.

BUT: I went looking for the link in the Wayback Machine, and I was never able to find a working live link to it. So it is possible this link has been broken for a while and the deletion was just some web janitorial work.

Not sure why the NCIRD Bulletin "Previous updates" section disappeared though.

On the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Bulletin page, both the link to www.cdc.gov/ncird/whats-... and its underlying page have disappeared. A link to www.cdc.gov/ncird/whats-... (not a typo) was added. The entire "Previous updates" section has disappeared.

They've added a new Wastewater Data for Measles page: www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/meas...

NWSS Wastewater Monitoring in the U.S. U.S. wastewater monitoring, National Wastewater Surveillance System

The CDC's National Wastewater Surveillance System landing page got a big makeover: www.cdc.gov/nwss/

CDC priorities CDC serves the American public who rely on accurate data, health guidance, and preventive measures

The CDC's "About CDC" page has gone from a pretty standard "let me tell you about my organization and what it does" page to an eyes-popping-out, gas-huffing MAGA bender rant about gender ideology and immigration. Also, it's now the "CDC priorities" page. www.cdc.gov/about/cdc/in...

The CDC added a link on its Covid national wastewater page to a dataset that appears to be fairly new? The dataset is at data.cdc.gov/Public-Healt.... The page says it was created on July 29, 2025 and is based on data from something called the Rapid Response Research and Surveillance Branch (R3SB).

Scoop: CDC has no Acting Director, sources confirm. The power vacuum means upcoming vaccine recommendation decisions will legally fall to RFK Jr.

Jeremy Faust covered the previous no acting director situation here:

CDC vaccine panel adds new rules for getting the COVID vaccine in a tense meeting The group voted to make people who want a COVID shot to be briefed on harms and benefits, but in a close vote, it failed to pass a proposal that states should require people to get a prescription.

NPR says the decision goes to Acting Director O’Neill. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

As I understand it, the problem last time was as soon as Monarez was nominated as Director she couldn’t be the Acting Director anymore, and the role was empty. So in that case the decision fell to the HHS Secretary.

Yes, it was out of commission a few days ago when last I tried.

Moderna has a vax finder: products.modernatx.com/finder

So does Pfizer, though the last time I tried it a week ago, it was out of date with respect to the state-level standing orders: www.comirnaty.com/vaccine-finder

Ending disorder on America's streets

rfk jr. and gang just added this new agency “priority” for CDC on their website. doesn’t sound like public health. sounds like fascism cdc.gov/about/cdc/in...

Some time yesterday someone got around to posting what the CDC's ACIP committee members voted on: www.cdc.gov/acip/meeting...

The COVID-19 workgroup finally put their recommendations - the ones that ACIP will vote on - up.

The operative part - what's in ACIP's power - is that anyone can only get the vaccine under shared clinical decision making, and they essentially recommend against it for most people under 65. 1/2
