Epidemiologist Flags Dangers Of Donald Trump’s ‘Deeply Disturbing’ Data Scrub
Generate Key TakeawaysAn epidemiologist has slammed the Trump White House’s deletion of public health data from federal websites as “deeply disturbing.”
The “widespread tampering and dismantling of really critical public health data” at “the direction of politicos, not scientists” is not “in anyone’s benefit,” Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo told CNN this weekend.
The removed data is “critically important” for health agencies to figure out how to best protect different communities and removing it “just makes that job harder,” said Nuzzo, a professor of epidemiology and the director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University School of Public Health in Rhode Island.
“There’s never been this level of sort of dismantling and tampering with data that we’ve seen, and it is deeply concerning,” Nuzzo added. “It’s only going to sow distrust in the federal government.”
Some outside groups have managed to download and save the data, but it’s unknown whether those sets will now be updated, Nuzzo said.
And with health agencies now not communicating with state and local health officials, Nuzzo warned how potentially deadly outbreaks risk not being properly assessed and monitored.
When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “can’t even talk to our health officials, they cannot fulfill their statutory obligation to protect America’s health,” Nuzzo said.

As an epidemiologist, I feel compelled to highlight the dangers of Donald Trump’s recent actions regarding data scrubbing. The President’s decision to remove crucial Covid-19 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website is deeply disturbing and could have serious implications for public health.By scrubbing this data, the Trump administration is essentially hiding critical information from the public and hindering efforts to track and contain the spread of the virus. This lack of transparency not only puts lives at risk, but also undermines the trust and credibility of our public health agencies.
As we continue to navigate the challenges of the pandemic, it is essential that we have access to accurate and timely data to make informed decisions and protect the health and safety of our communities. Any attempt to manipulate or suppress this information is irresponsible and dangerous.
I urge the administration to prioritize public health over political interests and to restore the integrity of our data collection and reporting systems. Our lives depend on it.

Kanye West’s Latest Move Adds a Disturbing Twist to the Taylor Swift Drama
It’s wild to think that the infamous “Imma let you finish” moment from the 2009 VMAs still fuels drama in 2025, yet here we are. Somehow, Taylor Swift has once again become the target of Kanye West’s bizarre attention — this time with a cryptic move on social media just ahead of the 2025 Grammys.
On Sunday, just before guests started walking the 67th Grammy Awards red carpet, West — who now goes by Ye — dropped a digital bombshell on Instagram. He unfollowed everyone on the platform, leaving only one account. That account? Taylor Swift. Not even his wife, Bianca Censori, remained in his exclusive “following” list.

For someone like Ye, who seems to thrive on provocation, this move screams calculated. To drive his point further, he followed up with an Instagram Story mentioning his Grammy-nominated track “Carnival.” Alongside a gleaming trophy image, he inexplicably tagged Swift, his collaborators Ty Dolla $ign, Playboi Carti, and Rich the Kid, as well as the Recording Academy.
Naturally, the internet — especially Swift’s fandom — spiraled into speculation. “His ongoing obsession with her is so gross. Move on dude, it’s been over 15 years since this s*** started,”** one Swiftie said on social media.
This act isn’t just bizarre—it’s the latest in a saga that began at the 2009 VMAs when Ye interrupted Taylor’s speech to hail Beyoncé’s video as “one of the best of all time.” Things only escalated from there. Fast-forward to 2016, and Ye dropped “Famous” with the lyric, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b**** famous.” He claimed Swift approved it; she adamantly denied it. Then came Kim Kardashian’s leaked recordings, Swift’s accusations of deceptive edits, and a host of what seems to be never-ending drama, courtesy of Ye.
Those years took an emotional toll on Swift, who has opened up on multiple occasions about how the feud pushed her to a dark place. Lately, both artists have largely existed in their own orbits. Until now. Ye’s new move throws Swift — the one person who’s repeatedly made it clear she wants distance — right back into the awkward limelight of his choosing.
Some fans pointed out how Ye’s actions keep dragging Swift into a narrative she has tried to move beyond. “That is why Swifties should stop acting like Taylor should move on from the Kimye drama,” one fan commented. “She can sing about this drama as long as she wants. He always drops her name in his stupid albums and creates drama like this every few months.”
Both Swift and Ye are Grammy nominees this year, and fans are already crafting scenarios about the intention behind his gesture. Could this be an attempt at reconciliation? A calculated publicity ploy? Or, in a more troubling twist, just another way to stir chaos in an already fraught history? Whatever the reason, Ye’s actions feel like a fresh disruption to a story Swift seemed ready to leave behind. And for now, the Swifties are standing firmly by her side, questioning why Ye can’t seem to do the same.

CNN
—
Body-worn camera footage released Friday shows correctional officers at the Marcy Correctional Facility in upstate New York punching and kicking a handcuffed inmate in a fatal beating that is now under investigation by the New York attorney general.
Robert Brooks died on December 10 after he was beaten by correctional officers at the Marcy Correctional Facility, according to the Associated Press. Brooks, 43, had been serving a 12-year prison sentence for first-degree assault since 2017.
CNN is reviewing the footage, parts of which show surrounding officers kicking and punching Brooks, who has his hands handcuffed behind his back on an exam table in a medical examination room. Brooks’ face appears bloody in some of the footage. The video captures correctional officers striking his chest and groin, with one officer using a shoe to hit him at one point.
The New York Attorney General’s Office of Special Investigations previously announced it had opened an investigation into Brooks’ death.
“As Attorney General, you have my word that we will use every possible tool available to us to investigate this death thoroughly and swiftly,” Attorney General Letitia James said Friday.
She said four of the officers involved were wearing body cameras but did not activate them, so the cameras did not record audio of the incident.
“These videos are shocking and disturbing, and I advise all to take appropriate care before choosing to watch them,” she said.
Brooks had been transferred from Mohawk Correctional Facility, another Oneida County prison, to Marcy Correctional Facility on December 9, according to James.
Parts of the footage show Brooks, face down with his hands handcuffed behind his back, being carried into the building by three officers. It’s unclear what led up to Brooks being brought into the exam room.
Governor Kathy Hochul said Friday she was “outraged and horrified after seeing footage of the senseless killing of Robert Brooks.” The governor previously said in a Saturday statement she had directed an internal review of Brooks’ death and told the state correction department to fire 14 workers involved.
“The vast majority of correction officers do extraordinary work under difficult circumstances, and we are all grateful for their service,” Hochul said. “But we have no tolerance for individuals who cross the line, break the law and engage in unnecessary violence or targeted abuse.”
The Marcy Correctional Facility is a medium-security state prison located in Oneida County, around 52 miles east of Syracuse.
The Brooks family has reviewed the body camera footage of the beating, Elizabeth Mazur, an attorney for the family, said in a statement to CNN.
“As expected, watching the horrific and violent final moments of Robert’s life was devastating for his loved ones, and will be disturbing to anyone who views the video following its release by the Attorney General’s Office,” the statement said. “We will not rest until we have secured justice for Robert’s memory, and safety for the prisoners at Marcy Correctional Facility.”
In a Sunday statement, NYSCOPBA, the union that represents New York correctional officers, described the footage of the beating as “incomprehensible to say the least” and “certainly not reflective of the great work that the vast majority of our membership conducts every day.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
Correction: An earlier version of this story gave the incorrect day the correctional officer union released its statement on the beating. It was Sunday.
The New York attorney general recently released shocking and disturbing videos of an inmate’s fatal beating, raising serious concerns about the treatment of prisoners in state facilities. The videos show multiple guards brutally assaulting the inmate, who was handcuffed and unable to defend himself.The attorney general described the footage as “horrifying” and vowed to hold those responsible accountable for their actions. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for reform within the state’s correctional system.
This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in our criminal justice system. It is imperative that we continue to advocate for the rights and well-being of all individuals, including those who are incarcerated.
We must demand justice for the victim and push for meaningful changes to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.
