7 words blacklisted from CDC budget documents: Report

The Trump administration has blacklisted seven words from use in official documents at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in preparation for the 2019 budget, according to a report Friday.

A longtime analyst with the public health agency told the Washington Post that senior CDC officials who oversee the agency’s budget were told at a meeting in Atlanta on Thursday that they are no longer allowed to use the words: “evidence-based,” “science-based,” “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” and “fetus.”
