The story identified seven prohibited words:
Vulnerable
Entitlement
Diversity
Transgender
Fetus
Evidence-based
Science-based
Is this for real?
That shouldn’t even be a word.
It is spelled foetus.
Well, it seems the science-community does use fetus, probably because communication usually isn’t really their strong point.

So, the evidence is.... oh, aha... yes... well this is shot to buggery then, isn’t it?

Accepting terrorist organizations into your administration and funding them is much worse.
Opening up special immigration pathways for terrorists is much worse.

"A former C.D.C. official, who asked not to be identified, said that some staff members were upset because the purported ban suggested that their work was being politicized.
