More than a dozen pages on the website of disease control and prevention in connection with sexual and gender -specific identity, health authorization and other topics have been learned.
The CDC received a guideline from the Department of Health and Human Services, which the agency monitors to remove certain websites by the end of the day on September 19, an internal CDC -E email that was sent to some employees on this day, their work related to the pages.
Pages include a sexually transmitted infections and gay men, another about healthy justice for people with disabilities and additional facts on asexuality and bisexuality. Some supporters of health permissions say that removal of such resources could create gaps in access to critical health information, especially for marginalized groups, and the efforts to promote fair care could undermine.
The removal of “critical materials from trustworthy state resources endangers the health of the patient and the public”, a spokesman for the LBGT Pa Caucus, a non-profit organization that promotes LGBTQ+ Health Care capital, in a statement.
“Removing resources for gender identity does not delete the need, only erodes trust, creates confusion and provides patients a higher risk,” said the spokesman. “Clinic and the communities that they serve rely on accessible, accurate and integrative instructions to ensure safe and effective care.”
The E -Mail did not contain any details about why HHS cited the CDC to remove the pages or why it aimed at certain topics. However, the topics of some of the resources recorded are long -term goals of the Trump administration, which have issued a number of executive measures that restrict the rights of transgender and non -binic people and to recover the efforts to increase diversity, justice and inclusion.
In an explanation, an HHS spokesman said that the “CDC continues to organize its website with administrative priorities and executive orders”. The CDC directed CNBC for a comment on HHS.

It is not the first time that the administration is aiming for health resources on the Federal Agency’s websites.
Thousands of pages on websites for the CDC and Food and Drug Administration, including from the end of January, were abruptly depressed according to the executive order of President Donald Trump, which refers the references to gender identity to federal politics and documents. In February, a federal judge HHS, the CDC and the FDA ordered to temporarily restore public access to the pages, while the legal disputes are progressing.
The same judge decided in July that the government immediately ordered the mass removal of health resources from federal locations and asked the agencies to review and restore the affected pages. After this decision, the Trump government reported to the court on September 19 that most agencies have checked the restoration of the pages with 185 compliance and only 11 CDC sitesPresent According to court documents. It is unclear how many of the pages recorded this month were in question in the lawsuit.

It is unclear which pages were still checked on September 19 and why the CDC decreased more pages on the same day after the judgment.
The internal CDC -E email was a table of more than a dozen pages that the agency had laid down on September 19. A separate table, which was compiled by the agency and viewed by CNBC, contained an additional website that apparently seems to be offline.
CNBC confirmed that the following pages are now offline. The Digital Archive Site Wayback machine also shows when you were recently active. According to Wayback Machine, several pages were online at the beginning of September, but it is unclear when the CDC all officially removed.
