"The new director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reached out to alarmed agency staff over the weekend to tamp down fears incited by a report that the Trump administration has banned the CDC from using words like "fetus," "evidence-based," and "diversity" in its budget submissions.
Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, who has led the agency since July, sent an all-hands email to the agency's staff assuring them that the CDC is committed to its mission as a science- and evidence-based institution. She later posted it on Twitter.
"As part of our commitment to provide for the common defense of the country against health threats, science is and will remain the foundation of our work," Fitzgerald wrote.
"CDC has a long-standing history of making public health and budget decisions that are based on the best available science and data and for the benefit of all people – and we will continue to do so."
Interestingly, Fitzgerald's email did not refute the Washington Post's article reporting that CDC staff had been given a list of seven banned words at recent budget meetings with officials of Health and Human Services and the Office of Management and Budget. The other words on the list were "science-based," "vulnerable," "transgender," and "entitlement."*
