    “Among the words forbidden to be used in CDC budget documents are ‘evidence-based’ and ‘science-based.’ I suppose one must not think those things either. Here’s a word that’s still allowed: ridiculous,” said Rush Holt, CEO, American Association for the Advancement of Science.https://twitter.com/statnews/status/942063523680673798 …

        @CDCgov The CDC must engage in civil disobedience. A rule like this is not meant to be obeyed. The medical community expects to see these banned words in CDC’s next budget.

        They are also removing “vulnerable,” “entitlement” and “diversity.” Perhaps even more frightening is that other agencies @HHgov are erasing information like resources for LGBT community cc: @tedeytan http://wapo.st/2CGKQs8 pic.twitter.com/5RnQh7MJzP

        I trained in medicine when these words were never used & the number of resources for #LGBTQ humans was non-existent. We didn’t depended on these orgs to help us & ❤️ won then, as it always will. #TransVisibility 🏳️‍🌈

        Diversity - variable demographics Transgender - alternate social gender expression Fetus - products of conception Entitlement - earned benefit Vulnerable - at risk Evidence-based - supported by data Science-based - supported by data Smart people will come up with words.

        Yes, they will. But it’s the principle and precedent that matters. With so much content in the digital commons, and relative ease in editing that content, no preventing phrases from also being targeted.

        The principle is very important, but as @haroldpollack pointed out, some of us remember this from the '80s with HIV. We will overcome again.
