kengrQuote from a Washington Post article:
The critical bit? "in consideration with community standards and wishes"
That's not science, that's admiring the emperor's new clothes.
Community standards are all too often *wrong*, and "wishes". Get real.
The whole *point* of agencies like the CDC is to find out *and publicize* instance hen "community standards" are wrong. As well as point out times when wishful thinking is doing harm.
Banning the terms on the list suggested a not good political (and anti-science) agenda. The "suggested rewording" *proves* that it's even worse.
Pity they can't issue a statement saying that "inn accordance with community standards and wishes we recommend that the Entire Trump administration be removed as a danger to the health of the United states and its citizens".
“In some instances, the analysts were given alternative phrases. Instead of “science-based” or “evidence-based,” the suggested phrase is “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes,” the person said. In other cases, no replacement words were immediately offered.”
