WELL, THAT DOES SEEM TO FIT THE CDC’S PATTERN! The CDC Replaces Flawed 2016 Opioid Prescribing Guideline with a Flawed 2022 Opioid Prescribing Guideline. “Perhaps most egregiously, the rationale of the 2022 Guideline remains predicated on the flawed assumption that overprescribing opioids caused the overdose crisis. There is no correlation between prescription volume and the nonmedical use or addiction to prescription opioids. And the percentage of people aged 18 or older addicted to prescription pain pills has been unchanged at less than one percent this entire century. The CDC should follow the evidence and abandon this mistaken premise.”
