From the article:

A message appeared at the top of multiple NIH websites last week that says: “This repository is under review for potential modification in compliance with Administration directives.”

Orwell:

Winston’s job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones. […] The original figures were as arbitrary as the rectified ones, and in any case, the Party had control of all records, and they themselves created reality. The past, he reflected, had not merely been altered, it had been actually destroyed.
