    This part seems pretty equivocal about what the directive CDC received is.https://twitter.com/cdcdirector/status/942454357274124290 …

    You may be understandably concerned about recent media reports alleging that CDC is banned from using certain words in budget documents. I want to assure you that CDC remains committed to our public health mission as a science- and evidence-based institution.

        Whether scientists exclude scientific terms like “evidence-based” in budget docs b/c they’re banned or b/c it’s “savvy” self-censorship, the negative consequences remain. They shouldn’t have to perform accuracy gymnastics to avoid poking the bear...er, the elephant in the womb. https://twitter.com/cbpolis/status/942552640688357376 …

        Suggesting CDC & HHS use alternate, more technical terms: fetus is blastula, vulnerable is susceptible, diversity is miscellany, entitlement is prerogative, evidence-based is substantiated by peer-reviewed data & science-based is informed by experimental research. Transgender?

        I don’t even think she believes what she’s tweeting. This is a ridiculous response. Are the words in or out? Just a yes or no.

        TFW CDC has the chance to clarify in "no uncertain terms" w/ an official (probably obsessively drafted & revised) statement, and doesn't just say, "The 7 words will continue to be used per usual in budgetary documents despite inaccurate reports to the contrary."

        Big fans of your books @Atul_Gawande... I have given many of them as gifts. If you get a chance, could you check out a brand new HIV/AIDS podcast, @RedRibbonRev ? We listen and learn from a younger generation affected by the disease - it's funny, fresh, and moving. THANK YOU!

        So the words are banned only "in the budget process"? Good Bureaucratese, this obfuscation is.

        Yes, that part is maybe equivocal, and actually more empty throat clearing than equivocal. But why’d you not mention this absolutely unequivocal one?https://twitter.com/cliffordasness/status/942595183027171328 …

        Clifford AsnessVerified account @CliffordAsness
        Seems pretty unequivocal. Either the internet blew up over exaggerations and/or fabrications, or she’s flat out lying now. I couldn’t swear to which but should be discernible. https://twitter.com/cdcdirector/status/942423509124427776 …
