Marc-
Well, I don't see you suggesting any solution to change the gun violence problem. But thanks for trying. Also, the Department of Health and Human Services denies any suggestion that certain words used by the CDC are banned. Fake news?
The statement follows a Friday report by The Washington Post that said the Trump administration had banned the CDC from using certain words, including “transgender,” “evidence-based” and “science-based” in official budget documents.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) disputed the report on Saturday.
"The assertion that HHS has 'banned words' is a complete mischaracterization of discussions regarding the budget formulation process," HHS spokesman Matt Lloyd told The Hill.
