I have competing thoughts here...(1) this archive needs to be preserved somewhere, and (2) given so many guidelines are outdated/being updated in the current environment, could this provide a meaningful opportunity to dissect the old/ineffective ones and promote the updated ones?

So I looked at this link. I can’t quite figure it out. Are you saying they will have it housed and usable by the medical community?

I'm sorry for not being clear. ArchiveTeam is working to preserve the data that's currently at https://guideline.gov/ and it won't be AS searchable and usable as the old site but I believe individual documents will be retrievable at https://web.archive.org/web/20180101000000*/https://www.guideline.gov/ … .

Thank you!

@SenateGOP@HouseGOP@SpeakerRyan@NRSC@realDonaldTrump@VP .... why shouldn’t the public have access to the info it paid for? -
Because the guidelines it contains were not written by big pharma.

Is this sarcastic?
-
Yes, but also probably the actual reason, or part of it.
-
Historically, the biggest opposition to guidelines has come from surgeons, esp ortho and neurosurgeons. This is bc the data show back surgery is often ineffective or creates new problems as bad as the old ones, & they don't want govt saying that. They then give extensively to GOP

One of Tom Price's (ortho surgeon) goals as HHS secretary was to limit the impact of guidelines. Previously, data from trials had been used to deny coverage of some ortho procedures & he wanted that changed (see 4th & 5th paragraphs here):http://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20161201/NEWS/161139982 …

Very interesting. I was being flip but figured the recommendations must be hurting somebody's bottom line. Thanks!

Not saying there isn't a prescription drugs issue, though. Consider this: https://tytnetwork.com/2018/07/15/trump-gop-delete-decades-of-medical-guidelines/ …

Seems like we should be able to raise enough money to save it. With all the philanthropy out there, this seems high impact per dollar.

I don't think it's really a budget issue. I think there is another more sinister reason behind this. An incentive to limit & dismantle information in order to deregulate medical standards. Profits before patients.

You are spot on. There are not always nefarious reasons behind things but of all things to cut...

The government website has already been deleted. There's not even a place-marker page.
-
Nope. I don't believe they keep an archive

It is still currently up. For a few more hours.https://twitter.com/randyprine/status/1018583132298100736?s=19 …

I'm using WinHTTrack to download the entire website (structure included).
-
After I get it downloaded and transferred to my Windows Server 2012 R2, I will bring my server up and leave it online so that people can still view the entire site as it exists today.

It's a huge db, over 20 years of data.

1.3GB in only 17 files so far. So, I'm going to set up my 3TB drive and restart the scrape.
