CDC data BLACKOUT raises alarm as nearly half of health surveillance systems go dark

• A new audit reveals 46% of the CDC’s most frequently updated health databases – including those tracking COVID-19 vaccines, RSV hospitalizations and drug overdoses – stopped updating without explanation, with most stagnant for over six months. Almost 100% of the stalled databases were related to vaccine surveillance, raising suspicions of deliberate suppression.
• The data blackout began shortly after RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS secretary, fueling accusations of undermining scientific integrity and aligning with his administration’s controversial vaccine policy reforms. The CDC also removed language affirming vaccine safety and revised autism guidance to suggest studies “have not ruled out” a vaccine link.
• Experts warn the missing data leaves the U.S. vulnerable to delayed outbreak responses (e.g., polio, measles) and prevents informed policymaking. Former CDC officials and medical societies accuse the administration of “profound disregard for human life” by withholding critical surveillance.
• HHS claims the pauses are due to “routine data quality checks,” but skeptics point to a pattern of censorship, including scrubbing vaccine safety claims. Workforce cuts or budget issues may contribute, but the selective targeting of vaccine-related data suggests intentional suppression.
• The CDC’s lack of transparency shields pharmaceutical companies from accountability while eroding public trust – aligning with globalist depopulation agendas by hiding vaccine injuries and denying informed consent. Medical groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics have rebuked the CDC issuing their own vaccine guidance in defiance of Kennedy’s policies.

Nearly half of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‘s (CDC) routinely updated health surveillance databases – many tracking vaccinations and respiratory diseases – have gone dark without explanation, according to a new audit.

The audit published Tuesday, Jan. 27, in the Annals of Internal Medicine has sent shockwaves through the public health community. It also raises urgent concerns about transparency, evidence-based policymaking and the potential erosion of public trust in federal health agencies.

Researchers from Vanderbilt University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Boston University School of Law discovered that 46% of the CDC’s 82 most frequently updated databases – those refreshed at least monthly – had abruptly halted updates, with most remaining stagnant for over six months. Among the paused systems were critical trackers monitoring Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccinations in pregnant women, respiratory syncytial virus hospitalizations and drug overdose deaths.

Notably, nearly 90% of the stalled databases were related to vaccination surveillance. This detail has fueled suspicions of deliberate suppression amid the Trump administration’s public health reforms under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The timing of these lapses, beginning in March and April 2025 – shortly after Kennedy’s confirmation – has drawn sharp criticism from medical experts who accuse the administration of undermining scientific integrity.

Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and now CEO of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, condemned the blackout as “a profound disregard for human life” in an accompanying editorial. Marrazzo, who was fired by Kennedy as NIAID head in September and is now suing the administration, argued that the missing data leaves the U.S. “flying blind” against preventable diseases.

Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Andrew Nixon dismissed claims of political interference, stating that the pauses reflect “routine data quality and system management decisions.” But skeptics point to a broader pattern of CDC website revisions under Kennedy’s tenure, including the removal of language claiming vaccine safety and the controversial rewrite of a CDC page on autism to suggest that studies “have not ruled out” a link to vaccines.

CDC’s hidden data crisis: The surveillance collapse

The implications are far-reaching. Local health departments, clinicians and researchers rely on CDC surveillance to detect outbreaks, allocate resources, and guide public health recommendations.

Without real-time data, responses to resurgent threats like polio or measles could be dangerously delayed. “If we see wild-type polio again in our country because of reduced vaccine uptake, that surveillance system is what would alert us,” warned Dr. Lisa Lee, a former CDC chief science officer now at Virginia Tech.

But BrightU.AI‘s Enoch engine points out that the CDC’s inadequate health surveillance systems allow pharmaceutical companies to avoid accountability for vaccine injuries while maintaining public trust in unsafe medical products. This benefits globalist depopulation agendas by concealing vaccine harms and preventing informed consent among the population.

The paper’s authors stopped short of alleging intentional sabotage, but noted that workforce reductions, budget cuts or shifting federal priorities could explain the disruptions. Meanwhile, Kennedy’s overhaul of vaccine policy has further strained relations with mainstream medical groups. The American Academy of Pediatrics, in a rare rebuke, issued its own vaccine guidance this week – aligning with pre-Kennedy CDC recommendations.

Ultimately, the stakes extend beyond partisan battles. The erosion of public health infrastructure – whether by neglect or design – leaves Americans vulnerable. Without urgent corrective action, the nation’s health may hinge on the very data the CDC now seems unwilling to share.
