The CDC works for the government.
Calling this censorship is like claiming that if Trump hired a speechwriter, and told the speechwriter not to put certain things in the speech, that's censorship too.

Pretzel logic on cue!
The CDC does not work for the government. The CDC is the government. And thus is held to the most stringent interpretations of the constitution.
Furthermore, the president-eject knows jackshit about what the CDC does. The CDC does not exist to please the president, it exists to serve the people.
