I.... what.... but American medicine's foundation is evidenced based medicine? I.... why? What's the logic behind this? And how can he possibly ban something like that?

This is ridiculous.

Good.

Why is taking the words "science based" and "evidence based" out of CDC language good?

Each of the banned terms is used to express bias. It's in everyone's best interests to eliminate their use within gov't documentation. I don't see how anyone could oppose this ruling.

lmao your gimmick sucks

What gimmick? My posts here basically mirror how I talk to people in real life.

I trust that Trump is doing the right thing. And think about this way: all of the years before Trump those words were permitted in CDC language. There's no telling what damage they may have caused. But hopefully now the CDC can get on the right track and maybe finally become a respectable and useful government organization.

That's a bit ambitious. These changes are a great starting point, but the government needs to make more changes before the CDC can be salvaged.

Oh wow.

This might legitimately be the worst thing Trump has done yet.


Pointless and embarrassing move? Yep. But worst thing? Not at all.

The English language is quite vast and there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Fetus == unborn offspring
Transgender == Persons affected by Gender Dysphoria
Vulnerable == At risk
Diversity == Variety, less homogeneous
Entitlement == Why the hell would the CDC use this line anyway?
evidence-based == Skip the middleman and just jump to how the data was collected (not like they'll ever use this phrase to begin with)
science-based == Derived from the scientific method (again, when would the CDC use this line? They inherently do this)

I mean, this is topic #5422 reporting what new stupid thing Trump has said or done. How do you guys not get tired of being outraged at him?

These words and phrases do not really have a place in CDC documentation. There's no major loss here. It's a non-issue.

So why ban them?

You can support a candidate and still disagree with decisions he or she makes. You can call decisions into question, criticize, and disagree with them. We wouldn't get anywhere if we didn't challenge the people we support.

So when my friend thought he could jump off a bridge and fly because his last name was Bird, and I told him he couldn't and that it was dumb and he realized that I was right and had just saved his life, I was actually not supporting him and instead being a terrible friend?

Damn, I'm horrible :(

You give me a single instance where the term "entitlement" can be used professionally and unbiasedly in a manner that is relevant to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and I will concede that it is stupid.

"Those with a high sense of entitlement are at high risk for developing neuroses such as narcissistic complexes that isolate themselves from others and endanger their mental health."

Actually it's the other way around. Next.

Like I said, I can see where he's coming from, but using politics to try to depoliticize the organization isn't the way to go, especially when like you said, he's banning terms like science-based, evidence-based, and honestly I don't think "diversity" is necessarily a term that is always politically charged. Fetus was obviously some kind of statement on abortion, which while I'm pro-life, I don't really have a problem with that word. As for Pence, I can't speak for him, but I'm a Christian Fundamentalist, and I embrace science and evidence as long as it's relevant.
