CDC refuses responsibility in Chronic Pain Care because of the Opioid crisis
Posted on June 2, 2021 by Pharmaciststeve
The CDC admits 90MME is only a guideline yet in this video, she tries to refer to “high dose” patients and how to taper them! The CDC knows 90MME is an arbitrary number – not chosen based on any credible research or science.
The CDC had a responsibility to protect the people that could have been negligently affected by their guidelines and didn’t. They need to pay with their freedom for the lives lost and those still affected and I will not rest until that happens.
Some believe that the CDC did not have the statutory authority to create and publish those opiate dosing guidelines… since the CDC primary function involved contagious diseases and neither substance abuse and/or chronic pain can be categorized as a contagious disease. Unfortunately, our bureaucratic system does not have a check and balance protocol that any rules/regulations has to be determined to be constitutional before implementation and.. even if a rule/regulation is unconstitutional… it can be use/enforced until someone challenges the constitutionality of the rule/regulation in our court system.
I’m pretty sure this video is a couple years old !!
Who was the woman who spoke up and what is her non- profit called?
If you look at the upper left of the video there is a link to their website https://www.ciaag.net/ and educated guess…. it was Lauren Deluca who is the founder of CIAAG
