[ExI] Forbidden Words

Sat Dec 16 15:11:44 UTC 2017

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
"
