Political Ideology Distorting Public Health Information

Political Ideology Distorting Public Health Information
Dec. 18, 2002 – Rep. Waxman and thirteen other members write HHS Secretary
Thompson to protest the alteration and removal of important public health
information from federal websites concerning the use of condoms to prevent
sexually transmitted diseases and the alleged association between abortion
and breast cancer. The Department of Health and Human Services removed
scientific fact sheets from its websites earlier this year, and has now
reposted significantly altered versions which distort and suppress
scientific information for ideological purposes.
