      I want to assure you there are no banned words at CDC. We will continue to talk about all our important public health programs.

      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.

      As part of our commitment to provide for the common defense of the country against health threats, science is and will remain the foundation of our work.

      CDC has a long-standing history of making public health and budget decisions that are based on the best available science and data and for the benefit of all people—and we will continue to do so.

      HHS statement addressing media reports: "The assertion that HHS has 'banned words' is a complete mischaracterization of discussions regarding the budget formulation process. HHS will continue to use the best scientific evidence available to improve the health of all Americans."

          Thank you for this, but I couldn’t help but notice the words you changed in this tweet. Why not say evidence based as usual? Because it’s banned!

          So the CDC will continue to say evidence-based and science-based? Yes or no?

          She said two of them, probably the most important two, in the second tweet.

          So can you link to a CDC release that uses one of those words as proof?

          @CDCDirector Can you clarify this further? Have there been ANY memos or directives on word use at the CDC?

          I'm impressed by what you have said. Can you state outright "There was never any issue on omitting specific words from budget documents?"
