The CDC and others would like you to believe the opioid overdose crisis started with prescribed painkillers in the 90s. They lie.

Articles from the 90s decade show otherwise 🧵:

🚨

So, the OCME suspended universal testing for fentanyl from late 2013 until July 1, 2016?

Coincidentally, started again after the CDC put out its 2016 Opioid Prescribing Guideline in March 2016?

This is so damning against the "it's the prescriptions!"

Image Why would the OCME suspend fentanyl testing in late 2013 when it's been showing up in ODs for years and when the DEA shows fake Rx pills made of fentanyl began to show up the SAME YEAR?

How were the Coroners/MEs reporting these fake pill ODs then? As Rx?

From 1990 thru 2004, government agencies, like the @CDCInjury, could NOT tell why there was an increase in drug poisonings because mortality codes (ICD-9) didn't decifer between prescription drugs and illicits.

🧵
cdc.gov/washington/tes… ImageImage With disregard to this major mortality reporting flaw, the @CDCInjury went onto declare in a 2006 "landmark article" that these deaths were from prescription opioids...

because the sales of prescription opioids were also on the same upward trajectory.

Here's proof that those, like the CDC, were alerted and knew about illicit analogues of fentanyl (and other illicit opioid analogues like MPPP and MPTP) since 1979.

This is from a 1985 Senate subcommittee hearing on "designer drugs":
books.google.com/books?id=Iyf0r… Here is the 1985 introductory testimony of the subcommittee hearing from Chairman/Senator Paula Hawkins (FL).

She even states: "This growing problem has been called the drug wave of the future, and needs a coordinated effort from all quarters to combat it." ImageImageImage

You say the current opioid overdose crisis began with opioid analgesic prescribing in the 90s.

These many newspaper articles in the 90s state outbreaks of a heroin epidemic.

So it wasn't the ℞ pills of the 90s but an increase of heroin available in the 90s. ImageImage @CDCgov @CDCInjury
You say the current wave of synthetic overdoses started in 2013.

What about this April 2007 docket from the DEA proposing an interim rule due to counterfeit pills (ex Oxycontin) and heroin with illicit fentanyl (ex China White heroin)?

FDA MME meeting -

The VA went back to the same slides and narrative they took to the HHS Task Force for the Pain Management Best Practices. 🙄 VA: Veterans are in pain. Look! They really are!

Me: Okay. What is going to be done about it, because many have had their meds taken due your Opioid Safety Initiative?

@IdahoDrugPolicy @GovernorLittle

Can we say with certainty that these Idaho OD deaths were actually legal prescriptions? We can't when Idaho coroners aren't using tox screens!

This DEA alert should be broadcasted as they look like the real thing!

Image @IdahoDrugPolicy @GovernorLittle

More about illicit fentanyl pressed to look like prescription pain meds. And includes Idaho!
