    🚨 BIG NEWS Y’ALL! 🚨

    Someone just saved ALL the CDC’s public data before it could disappear! 🦅

    What’s the Deal?

    Some mystery hero downloaded everything from the CDC’s website (that’s 98 GIGABYTES of health info!) and uploaded it to the Internet Archive on Jan 28th. Think of it like making a backup copy of your phone before it breaks!

    Why Should You Care?

    • This is YOUR health data - stuff about vaccines, diseases, and public health that your tax dollars paid for! 🏥
    • Once this info is gone from CDC’s website, it could be really hard for your doctor to get important updates
    • Researchers need this to keep studying ways to keep Americans healthy 💪

    What’s Next?

    Smart folks at places like Harvard are making sure this data stays safe by keeping copies. It’s like having multiple backups of your family photos - can’t be too careful!

    Remember folks: Knowledge is power, and someone just made sure we didn’t lose a whole bunch of it! 🎯

      As a reminder, AI generated content is against the rules in this community—see the sidebar. I appreciate your instinct to bring some quality content to this space, but let’s please keep in mind that genuine interaction with diverse voices is what makes this community beautiful. :)

      My reasoning:

      • You have personally admitted to writing AI comments in the past: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/16482371
      • Heavy use of markdown headings, bullets, and section dividers is a common pattern in LLM output
      • Use of “it’s like” or “it’s about” phrases as the conclusion to a paragraph are very common in LLM models like ChatGPT
      • Verbatim replication of content from my original post that is common in LLM output and highly indicates an LLM was instructed to create something based on the text of the original post
      • Use of 🎯 emoji does not match context
      • “100% AI generated” response on multiple AI detection websites (GPTZero, Quillbot)

      Any single one of these facts would not lead me to comment, but with all of it combined it makes a pretty strong case. Thank you for your contribution to this community but please let’s keep it genuine in the future! We love and appreciate the real you :)
