CDC's 'woke' new language guide proposes replacing 'dehumanizing' words like inmate, poor and ELDERLY
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 28 2021 | ADAM SCHRADER

A new guide on 'inclusive communication' by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to promote 'health equity' has published a long list of words and phrases such as elderly, smokers and poor for les 'dehumanizing' language.

The guide includes a list of guiding principles and preferred terms to use rather than seemingly dehumanizing ones such as 'poor' and 'elderly' to foster 'an ongoing shift toward non-stigmatizing language.'

'Long-standing systemic social and health inequities ... have put some population groups at increased risk of getting sick, having overall poor health, and having worse outcomes when they do get sick,' the guide reads.

CDCP - Communist Disinformation Center and Propaganda!!

This organization has got to be dismantled and buried in the nearest landfill, or would we be dissing the landfill?

Director of the CDC Walensky is “insane”. Not “mentally challenged”, “mentally impaired” (that’s Biden), not “mentally disabled”, but BATSHIT CRAZY.

She needs a total head lobotomy, starting at the bottom of her neck and working upwards to what was once a brain-carrying vacuous empty skull. The French have the equipment for this type of operation.

She is “the existential health threat to America”.

The French may still have the Means, but lost the Will in the 1980s.

The Walenskys asked for, and received, a grant of $5 Million. Where’d that taxpayer money go?

I did some searches at the CDC web site in May or June of 2020 that led me to conclude they were a fully “woke” and politicized organization that had largely lost sight of their stated mission. I posted about it here.

That assessment has been completely proven out by events of the last year. Can anyone name three important useful things the CDC has done in that time frame?

“And instead of ‘homeless people’ or ‘transient people,’ the CDC recommends referring to them as ‘people experiencing homelessness’ or ‘persons who are not securely housed.’”

AKA... Urban campers.

I like "elderly" - you have to work an entire life time to finally get a title you deserve!

What will replace it?

Birthday impaired?

the CDC began with the COVERUP of Agent Orange,
and ends with the sterililzation and creation
of prion, sterility, and cancer producing diseases
in EVERY SINGLE “VACCINATED” [DNA changed FOREVER] victim.

no accountability, except conservatives will
be taken and guillotined in the CDC/WH/FEMA/FIB plans.

They can have the word “elderly” when they pry it from my old, gnarled, arthritic hands.

Isn’t stigmatizing and dehumanizing language self replicating, just like a virus, as old words take on new meaning?

Didn’t “elderly” replace “old” for this same reason?

One meme is worth a thousand words.

God forbid we dehumanize an inmate who murdered another human. (yes I know all inmates are not murderers).
