CDC list of banned words

Post by _EAllusion »

Policy analysts working at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were told on Thursday about a list of forbidden words being imposed by senior CDC officials, according to a report in The Washington Post. The forbidden words are reportedly “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based,” and “science-based.”

Our country is a tire-fire. We're powerful, so this is a serious problem for the rest of the world.

"Evidence-based" has been banned at the CDC. I'm waiting for it to be banned at the FBI.

That is positively Orwellian.

Sure they haven't banned that word yet?

It was banned at the FBI during the Hillary investigation. And obviously e licence hasn't really been a requirement for all the Trump Russia collusion accusations, or even for the Moore election.
