In Oldspeak, this might be rendered:
CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. (Including gender, transgender, pregnant person, LGBT, and more)
“forbidden terms”
...must be that "free speech" I keep hearing about. This is obviously a first amendment issue, right?
Right?
to be fair you've been hearing about it from this troglodyte:
I don’t see the difference between the two pictures. Is the left one supposed to be black and white? And the right being in colour?
One on the right seems pretty black and white too.
The CDC has instructed its scientists to retract or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by any medical or scientific journal, not merely its own internal periodicals
The scope is thankfully limited only to CDC scientists.
Not that this makes it good news by any stretch.
This is going to push research money squarely under the thumb of corporate control, which is of course the aim here. Privatize everything.
I do know scientists hate having their work paywalled or censored so I’d expect sci-hub to get a lot more popular real quick, but many will definitely self censor their official publications to keep their jobs til orange hitler shoots himself in a bunker somewhere.
I don’t even know about corporate control here but we’re only going to get “research” that “aligns with policy”, rather than quantifying facts
I really hope some people are archiving stuff as fast as possible...
The GOP read the Bolshevik, CCP and Nazi playbooks.
This is... This is bad! Wow.
What the actual fuck?! It's like living in a fever-driven nightmare. We can only hope there are backups of the un-purged documents.
Are you fucking kidding me?!?! What the fuck is wrong with that orange fucking clown? Jesus fuckjng christ.
How long until this evil administration forces some citizens to sew a yellow star or pink triangle on their clothes?
Yellow star is so last world war.
It’ll definitely be pink triangles and moon and star this go around
1984
More like 1930s Germany.

But with new technology available, so the sci-fi distopia analogy makes sense.
So much money wasted modifying all these documents.
For them, it's worth the cost for greater good.
For them, it’s worth the cost for greater ~~good~~ harm.
They don't care about the greater good. They care about causing as much harm as they can.
Uh causing as much harm as possible is their greater good
Look at all this cancel culture….
Oh, it's not the onion.
What's the opposite of eating the onion? That happened to me just now too
Crying.
Drinking the swamp
Hopeful thinking
