  • Health and Human Services websites and their health data are critical public resources and must remain free from political interference.

The article by Arthur Kellermann for Forbes, published on February 7, 2025, discusses the implications of former President Donald Trump's influence on health policy and data transparency. It highlights how Trump's administration allegedly manipulated health data and promoted disinformation, particularly around the handling of the COVID-19 crisis. The piece details how these actions have led to a significant erosion of trust in public health institutions, with lasting effects on how health data is reported and perceived by the public. It also touches on the broader implications for health policy, suggesting that the lack of transparency and the spread of misinformation could have detrimental long-term effects on public health, individual decision-making, and the overall effectiveness of health interventions. The article warns that these issues will continue to impact everyone, regardless of political affiliation, by undermining the credibility of health information and potentially skewing health policy decisions.
