Some accurate medical information was removed from the CDC’s website last month, and we gave you some tips on where to look for archived versions and for sources of similar information. Now, there’s a nearly complete mirror of the CDC website being hosted in Europe, so you can look up information on HIV, health for trans people, and other topics that really shouldn’t be controversial, but for some reason are.
Some of the removed information has been reinstated by court order, but it comes with a disclaimer at the top of the page that somehow manages to be insulting, incorrect, sensationalist, and inflammatory. Just what you need when you want to know, say, who is most vulnerable to HIV.

As 404 Media reports, the archive’s creators say it is being hosted in Europe, and the pages were downloaded with the help of the DataHoarder community on Reddit. Unlike many of the other goverment data archiving projects, this one aims to build a fully functional version of the CDC website, including the links between pages, and interactive elements.
They haven’t entirely accomplished that goal; a note at the top of the page says that they are working on getting videos added to the archive. Notably, the search function sends you back to www.cdc.gov instead of keeping you on the restoredcdc.org site, so if you want to find a specific page, you’re best off finding an old link, and then typing in “https://restoredcdc.gov/” just before the URL. For example, https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/data-research/facts-stats/transgender-people.html becomes https://restoredcdc.org/www.cdc.gov/hiv/data-research/facts-stats/transgender-people.html .
But for most information, the website is still present and functional. Trans health information is still there, without the insulting disclaimer. The page on health equity guiding principles for inclusive communication is up at the archive, even though it’s still missing from cdc.gov.
There is still one major gap, though: current information on outbreaks and other developing situations. The CDC is not updating information at restoredcdc.org. It's a static archive of what was available in January. So if you want to check the numbers on the current measles outbreak, or see what's going on with bird flu, the regular CDC website is still the place where that stuff is getting updated. For now, anyway.
