Naloxone can mean the difference between life and death. That’s why I issued an advisory calling on everyone to carry this overdose reversal drug. Thank you @cdcgov for hosting an important discussion about #naloxone. Learn more:https://hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/opioids-and-addiction/naloxone-advisory/index.html …

Not so fast sir. Tooting your horn way too soon! "The latest CDC data is preliminary and subject to change. Overdose deaths could end up higher or lower than the data says right now. We just won’t know until the final figures come out later this year, likely around December."

So, I might suggest you work to make great progress REVERSING DECLINE in health of millions harmed by misguided war on prescriptions, fueled by 2015 CDC guidelines. Before we make greater progress in pushing OUR public awareness of DAMAGE to medical care for millions you IGNORE.

The state-by state rates are telling. States with the most draconian cutbacks in prescriptions? Many of them have dramatically INCREASED rates of overdose deaths! What HAVE you actually DONE, beyond demonizing prescriptions, to save ANY lives?https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/07/18/743161724/u-s-overdose-deaths-dipped-in-2018-but-some-states-saw-devastating-increases …

While patients in pain are tortured, lawsuits on pharma, attacks on prescribers continue.. ..you increased Naloxone sales. But while you blow that trumpet? Meth sneaks in Woops. Can't sue anyone. Can't victimize disabled peeps. Just ignore it.https://khn.org/news/meth-vs-opioids-america-has-two-drug-epidemics-but-focuses-on-one/ …

That data, much like your data over past years? "The preliminary estimate for 2017 was off by roughly 2,000 overdose deaths. If the deviation is the same in 2018, but this time overdose deaths were undercounted, then 2018 could have been worse, not better, than 2017."

As you spent this year preaching the evils of prescription opioid, you failed. Failed to see the rise of meth and cocaine death. Naloxone reverses opioid overdose, but it does nothing for cocaine and meth. So, just ignore it. Keep blaming rx. That DOESN'T work anymore.pic.twitter.com/x2kI6XwFd2
