Regarding the post below about the CDC being told by the HHS not to use certain words in their budget requests, a former federal official suggested that it was not a ban on using the words in scientific publications. Rather it was more like a recommended strategy to get funding requests accepted. Whether the reference was to officials at the Department of Health and Human Services, which controls the CDC budget, or to Congress who would decide on the budget -- was not clear.
Whichever, it is a sad commentary about the Luddites in charge of our government.
