Hi all,

Below is a short social package to amplify a piece from Inside Climate News on how the Trump EPA’s “Secret Science” rule could hold back data that could be helpful in providing clues for the COVID-19 pandemic. Feel free to adapt the language of the guidance below, and please reach out with any questions.

Thanks,

.@realDonaldTrump and @EPAAWheeler’s #SecretScience rule restricts health data that can be used to make environmental decisions, even though experts believe that it could contain clues for the #COVID19 pandemic. #ScienceNotSilence

In a public health crisis, @realDonaldTrump and @EPAAWheeler are moving forward with their #SecretScience rule, a rule that in effect would ignore health data that could help better understand #COVID19. #ScienceNotSilence

What happens when ideology trumps science? You have @EPAAWheeler pushing forward with a rule to limit health data in @EPA policymaking which means data related to the #COVID19 pandemic could be ignored in the future. #ActOnClimate
