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."

  I read your article, but unfortunately it didn't have a link to the CDC itself.

  That looked like a blog, with interesting topics such as "left wing terrorism".

  The PacificPundit article started with:

  Another bout of fake news being spewed by CNN and other left wing propaganda networks has been proved as fake news.

  and there were two more lines of text, without much content (it was a rather short article).

  Did you find a source from the CDC itself that disputed this "fake news"?
