  • Wtf. Is it possible for the government to ban words?
    These "official documents being prepared for next year's budget" are presumably publicly accessible but not aimed at the general public? I don't get it. Whose sensibilities would the word "vulnerable" offend?

  • Whose sensibilities would the word "vulnerable" offend?

    Trump's.

    It's possible the ban comes from somebody in the administration who knows that using these words in documents will just make Trump reject them. If so, it may be a way of trying to help the CDC survive Trump, rather than censorship.
