For many HTB readers the demands for the US CDC to follow a new Trump administration list of forbidden words in official documents will be old news: tweets and blogs responded immediately.
But lodging this as a short article in the January HTB is important for anyone that missed the story.
On 17 December 2017, an article in the Washington Post reported on a 90-minute briefing with senior officials at the US CDC responsible for 2018 budget.
The banned words are: vulnerable, entitlement, diversity, transgender, foetus, evidence-based and science-based.
Trumpspeak = newspeak = alternative facts.
