Over the summer, a government website that helped Americans find vaccines got a MAHA makeover. Then it stopped working altogether.
The Trump administration removed language from Vaccines.gov that said “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” on June 24, according to a NOTUS analysis of previous versions of the site cached by web.archive.org. It also cut the site’s FAQ section explaining “The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is to get the vaccines recommended for you” and — most critically — changed the search tool that allowed users to enter their ZIP code to find vaccination sites in their area.
Now, the ZIP code search doesn’t work. A site banner on the page states: “The functionality of this website may be impacted while it is being updated.”
