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.

Is there an actual reputable, verifiable, or even reasonable source for this "reportedly" story?

There is literally no substance here and gossip is the best fuel for starting hair fires.

So, yeah, anyone got some actual facts here?

That is positively Orwellian.

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.

That's your best shot? Metaphorical Whataboutism? The comparisons to the Hillary investigation, Trump/Russia and the Moore election? Words were never banned.

This is the CDC. It is science-based organization. Science involves evidence. If you can't use 'evidence-based' in a scientific report, It's like saying you're going to discuss football without the word 'quarterback'.

It's like we're dismantling western civilization in favor of commercial wooish dumfookery.

Remember, Trump is an antivaxxer.

That was in 2014, and with luck he has forgotten it by now ...

This is, without contest, the most irresponsible, uninformed and false Tweet to date. You are a sick and dangerous man, and you have put children in real danger with this Tweet. Vaccines do NOT cause autism.

What I heard him say (in the past year?) was that he's okay with vaxxing but suggests that they be administered in smaller doses over a longer period of time.

Other than that, yeah, he's ignorant.

I imagine some of those old soldiers would appreciate the therapeutic touch from list 2. Such touch should not be limited to Vegas and Miami partying conventions of the Admirals and Generals.

Somewhere in my online travels this afternoon, I read that the list of words was banned from a report. Not that they were banned forever.
