Media has been uncritically repeating govt officials' claims of a heroin 'epidemic' underway in the U.S., but data nowhere near conclusive
@RafaelONDCP Like I said, the data is not conclusive enough to support claim of a general "heroin epidemic," esp. given recent CDC findings

@mtracey We agree on that. But I think any "heroin epidemic" narrative is more a function of media reporting than repeating gov't claims. -

@mtracey Any reporting on heroin that doesn't include info on Rx (& vce vrsa) is leaving out a huge piece of context.https://twitter.com/RafaelONDCP/status/459322716512727040 …
