“Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”

“In some instances, the analysts were given alternative phrases. Instead of “science-based” or ­“evidence-based,” the suggested phrase is “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes,” the person said. In other cases, no replacement words were immediately offered.”

This may seem like it’s not a big deal but it really really is.

The CDC is not allowed to study gun violence as an epidemic (despite the fact that most physicians/epidemiologists view it as such) or do prevention research because of some NRA funded gag-rule bullshit.

It might seem like it’s just a few word changes, but those changes literally going to kill people.
