"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 move aims to ensure that no "forbidden terms" appear in the work. The policy includes manuscripts that are in the revision stages at journal (but not officially accepted) and those already accepted for publication but not yet live."

I trust MedPage Today, where this news appeared. But it only cites the author's Substack newsletter, which in turn cites nothing. Can anyone confirm this report?

A classic #LetterToEditor:

"We want to congratulate our colleagues on this impressive work that is a true #TourDeForce. Also, we think it's entirely flawed & should be retracted."

Then lists reasons A, B, and C to #retract, where:
A - is clearly accommodated in the study design;
B - relies on critics misunderstanding a meaning of one word as being the exact opposite of what it is; &
C - has no discernible impact on conclusions & is listed as a limitation.
