Public Health in Retrograde - Deleting Public Data

Deleting data and research is book burning. No need to read 1984, we’re living through it. Data is a representation of reality. By controlling data, one can control our understanding of reality, and in the hands of an autocratic regime erasing data is a highly effective tool for erasing dissent. After all, no one can claim the regime is causing problems if no evidence of said problems exists.  We are witnessing the full scale dismantling of our science and institutions. -o-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth  Bluesky Social: @everythingisPHMastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: [email protected]     Photo Credit: Photo by Enayet Raheem on Unsplash https://unsplash.com/photos/white-printer-paper-with-black-text-0UxQZNoLnlk?utm_content=creditShareLink&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash
