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."

    Seems sensible.

    You've just described the banality of evil.
    Self-censorship in order to please the insane is how you lose your soul.

    When money and security is more important than truth and decency evil wins.
