“I want to assure you there are no banned words at CDC. We will continue to talk about all our important public health programs,” CDC Director Brenda Fitzgerald said in a Facebook post. “I want to assure you that CDC remains committed to our public health mission as a science- and evidence-based institution. As part of our commitment to provide for the common defense of the country against health threats, science is and will remain the foundation of our work.”

Trump admin reportedly banned certain words at multiple HHS agencies - Business Insider

'Others, however, have said the language ban is likely intended only for budget documents in an effort to appease Republicans who might otherwise not approve it. ', "The Trump administration's ban on certain words from official budget documents reportedly extends beyond the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and applies to multiple agencies across the Department of Health and Human Services, The Washington Post reported Saturday."

'The State Department has also received guidance to refer to sex education as "sexual risk avoidance" in certain documents, the Post reported. '

'HHS spokesman Matt Lloyd told the Associated Press in a statement that it's a "complete mischaracterization" to say the CDC was "banned" from using the words. '

' HHS also strongly encourages the use of outcome and evidence data in program evaluations and budget decisions," Lloyd said. '
