• Resumen

  • The authors reflect on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) process for clearance of manuscripts which are intended to be published which they consider an obstacle to progress in public health. They suggest that the need for content approval by the CDC is a violation of the freedom of speech and that their conclusions have been censored by the CDC. They compare the clearance of manuscripts to the clearance process used by the National Institutes of Health.
