Apparently
in honor of​
 George Carlin
​'s famous Seven Words You Can'r Say On Television ​the
 Trump administration has ordered The
​ ​
Centers for Disease Control
​, an agency with a 7 billion dollar yearly budget,  ​
not
​ ​
to use seven words in any official documents
​ ​
issued
next year.
​ Instead of saying ​
“science-based” or ­“evidence-based”
​ they  must now say ​
"​
CDC recommendations
​based ​
on science in consideration with community standards and wishes”
​. So if a community wishes that somethings do cause disease ​(birth
control and vaccines for example) then they do, and if a
community does
​not​
 wish
​other things to ​
cause disease
​ (​smoking, junk food, coal,) then they don't. That is the very essence
of magical thinking.

​The other 5 words the CDC must never utter are ​"
fetus”
​,​
 “transgender
​",​
“vulnerable,” “entitlement,” and
​"​
diversity
​"
