A couple of things I tried… Please validate to tell me I’m not crazy. Searches done on www.nih.gov (linked in post).

These are blocked:

  • “diversity”
  • "diversity "
  • “equity”
  • “inclusion”
  • “DEI”

These are not blocked:

  • “diverse”
  • “diversit”
  • “diversity*”, “inclusion*”, “equity*”
  • “diversitya”
  • “equity and diversity”
  • “diversity and equity”
  • “diversity equity inclusion”

What is the meaning of this

    My friend found/remembered an article from 2017, which is similar, but for the CDC. It doesn’t sound like it affected search though. http://archive.is/JLcc8

    The forbidden words are “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”

    I tried searching the terms above on NIH, and none of them, except diversity, take you back to the home page. CDC search seems unaffected currently.
