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."

    Those are all propaganda words. It's disgusting to see them in anything from the CDC.

    If the employees want to use those words, they can do so via their own platform. They no longer get to spew their hatred as an official communication of the United States government.
