Crazy how polticized science is.
Well now how will I explain that a pregnant dominant species member is not a Martian
Since when does the CDC have the authority to do this in the first place? If the CDC can’t effectively police actions during a global pandemic they sure as shit shouldn’t have to authority to control the terminology used in medical research.
Maybe research that used CDC funds?
Scientists are going to have to start living more modest lifestyles if they want to appreciate science more than wealth.
How does boot taste?
…what?
I disagree with this, but I also disagree censoring research against feminist or LGBT groups, as it has been happening systematically.
Examples?
What kind of research do you have in mind? The phrase “research against” strikes me as a bit odd: it suggests research done with a preconceived conclusion in mind, whereas good scientific research tries to investigate a question neutrally and only conclude based on the evidence.

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)
The first books the Nazis burned were scientific research notes about trans people.
The first books the Nazis burned were scientific research notes about trans people
Impressive that it is actually true, I thought it is an exaggeration. From Wikipedia:
On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, came to power
On 6 May 1933, a group of students … the students proceeded to shout “Brenne Hirschfeld!” (“Burn Hirschfeld!”) while ransacking and vandalizing the Institute, tearing pictures from the walls, pouring inkwells onto carpets, and destroying exhibitions while the band played outside.

Yeah, when they teach about book burnings they never mention that fact. It also serves as a reminder that trans people are not just a modern phenomenon. The Nazis’ reasons for targeting trans people then are the same as right-wingers today, they look for a small, marginalized group and seize on existing prejudice to sow division and divide and conquer. The Nazis claimed trans people were a Jewish plot to weaken and destroy the Ayran race, and you can still see echos of that in some right-wing rhetoric today.
They then executed everyone with a brain. Drs, teachers, engineers, scientists, researchers, etc
I really hope some people are archiving stuff as fast as possible…
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
The GOP read the Bolshevik, CCP and Nazi playbooks.
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
“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.
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.
This is… This is bad! Wow.
1984
More like 1930s Germany.

But with new technology available, so the sci-fi distopia analogy makes sense.
