Speaking to the Economic Roundtable of San Francisco. @CatoHealth #CatoDrugWar

I'm only 10 minutes in but so far so good,
@dr4liberty is always great on the opioid & pain topics

cato.org/multimedia/med… #chronicpain #opioids #opioidcrisis #dopesick
one thing i notice watching his appearances is Dr Singer is always so concise,

always able to pack a ton of important information in just a few short minutes
The story at minute 5 about a patient's opioid phobia is pretty good btw,

if you want to jump in that's a good place imo
cato.org/multimedia/med…
that probably comes from having to describe this stuff 1000 times, his appearances are always solid

@RonToye @vicmignogna Hi @RonToye & @Lupinfan83 & whoever else might be interested,

Considering most of this is like 2 or 3 years ago my memory isn't perfect, but as far as i can recall & look at what stories are still around on the topic...

P1)
@RonToye @vicmignogna @Lupinfan83 It is true many of the original stories, especially those carried by the media like @AnimeNewsNet have been deleted or were asked to be taken down

This is a reference to such:

this is pretty bad, there is nothing said to make clear the deaths are overwhelmingly caused by illicit black-market street quality, FENTANYL

Never made or meant for medical use,
#opioids #news #opioidcrisis #medicine #healthcare #health
There's an argument the initial phase of the crisis, 1990s & early 2000s was sparked by prescription opioids,

There's no evidence then or now deaths themselves were caused by anything that ever came in an orange bottle
#healthcare #health #journalism #cnn ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
So many things here being conflated here,

Dependence is not addiction
Addiction & overdose deaths are not the same things,

These deaths are mostly accidental including first-time casual users

addiction isn't always the cause of death

highly recommend people check out @slsatel most recent piece on medical ethics & how woke politics is taking over everything quillette.com/2021/11/30/wha… @Quillette @clairlemon #medtwitter
i think even if U disagree & think equity statements are useful,

i hope we can agree that even still, this shouldn't be the highest priority for the AMA or other medical organizations

side projects are 1 thing, making it the main show while ignoring bigger things is a problem
I strongly think its a bad idea, but ignoring real problems to put out circle-jerk statements about how moral & noble you are is by itself a dangerous thing,

it leaves people like pain patients out in the lurch while you are making nice with all your DC friends

i stay out of the wars between factions & camps,
my main concern is doing a great job as a journo,

I know some might find this disloyal or whatever,
but my priority is & always has been to do a good job as a truth-teller & occasional entertainer
My experience is if U let concerns of loyalty outpace truth, then U can put Urself in ugly positions

using a softer framing for a contentious issue or a vulnerable population is fine to a point,

but U should never say what U know to be false cuz its an easier pill to swallow
It might seem at the time to be beneficial to sell fake news to your audience cuz they want it,

But you are doing them no favors by helping them to believe in a fantasy

Ya boi
Is this the first time the an official Whitehouse spokesperson said the word anime,

I think it might be,
#anime #politics #PoliticsLive #POLITICO
Now we need Harris, then the secretary of state, then the Pentagon, and finally President Biden needs to work the word anime into a conversation

Then Anime needs to be brought up during the presidential debates for Unprecedented anime-vocalizingz
