STAT: Backing Up and Monitoring CDC Data in Real Time

STAT began monitoring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s data platform regularly on Jan. 31, 2025. The page continues to be updated whenever CDC data changes are discovered. You'll find a table where you can download original copies of datasets removed from the CDC’s site. Caveat: "STAT’s backup files were captured between Jan. 29 and Jan. 31, and they reflect data as it was published on the CDC’s site at that time. .... some files have be reuploaded to the CDC’s site. Files in STAT’s backup could be out of date compared with what’s available from the CDC. Unless you have a specific concern about censorship, if the data you want is available on data.cdc.gov, you should get it from there."
