This showed up in my inbox today. This letter was dated before the CDC 2016 guidelines were published. We really don’t know when those guidelines were actually created… since there was NO PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. According to the date on this letter, at least the 6 members of the House of Representatives that signed this letter was aware the guidelines were in the early stage of being composed or already finished. I wonder if some of the questions that were asked were ever answered ? Notice that the six signatures at the bottom of the letter is three from each political party. Of course, the head of the CDC Thomas Frieden knew his years at the agency were most likely numbered. Pres Obama was “tapped out” and could not run for reelection and we would have a new president in Jan 2017 and he would be looking for a new job. The CDC amended their name in 1992 with the permission of Congress https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00017924.htm and since the 2016 guidelines per published… the OD’s from opiates – mostly illegal fentanyl from China/Mexico – has jumped several fold. While the CDC tracks the number of OD’s involving opiates… there seems to be little/no data kept on chronic pain pts that have died prematurely from complication of their existing comorbidity health issues from having their opiates reduced/eliminated because of the CDC 2016 guidelines, or chronic pain pts suicides that were reported as a opiate OD’s because their toxicology showed a opiate… I guess just like the DEA has been a 50 yr failure in the war on drugs, the CDC seems to be following down the same path as a failure in the PREVENTION of opiate abuse, hell… they were not even able to PREVENT the increase in opiate abuse & OD’s.

UP IN PRISON,,,BUT W/HISTORY AS OUR GUIDE,,RARELY DO THESE TYPE OF DEMENTED ABUSER GET THE JUSTICE THEY DESERVE,,,IE,,,DEATH,,,FOR ALLL THOSE THEY TORTURE TO DEATH BY THEIR DEADLY AGENDA,,JMO,MARYW
Good find. Implies this was cooking for some time!
Steve,
I am wondering if this is a piece of the Truth being revealed. The questions asked are intriguing million-dollar questions/.
–My first interest is where is the paper trail started. The before and after? Who is responsible for an Advisory Committee to Congress, asked the CDC to write guidelines is my biggest question? Why wasn’t there a comment period? Did they not follow FACA protocol? Are haunting questions? .
We have questions about why a “Core Expert Group” established by CDC to assist with drafting these guidelines is not considered an advisory committee under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA)
–CDC was aware at least, by this letter there was concern raised about CPP’s …millions of Americans rely on properly prescribed opioids to alleviate chronic pain. The Cancer Action Network of the American Cancer Society asserts that while not the only tool, opioid medications are recognized as a mainstay of treatment for moderate to severe cancer pain and can be a beneficial treatment for managing serious, persistent pain.” Some groups have raised concern that the proposed guidelines may be insufficient to treat those suffering from chronic pain
….”Some groups have raised concern.”
—- Who is “Some groups” who else knew, what?
We expect CDC’s guideline drafting process to seek an appropriate balance between the risk of addiction and the need to address chronic pain.
-=Why didn’t SOME COMMITTEE, SOMEONE Speak up? Did this letter get lost, [not intended to be a pollical statement] hidden from the Trump Admin, or did the Trump Admin downgrade?
–No one from CDC or others’ Speak Up when the devastation of being forced tapered, knocked off meds, or abandoned?
I experienced all three of these events 2014-date, my life isn’t the best, although I am fortunate its still not right, or prior to CDC.
-=The four questions listed in the letter are just as intriguing.
–At the end has promise! “…may at any time investigate.”
The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the principal oversight committee of the House of Representatives and may at any time” investigate any matter” as set forth in House Rule X
–Not a FACA Committee, why? Disclosure, financial conflicts of interest, Is this the Kolodny’s PROP Agenda?
There was no balance
I hope, this letter is a good sign for the Truth getting out, possibly someone with a conscience dropped into your email. One can hope. The truth will come out, it depends if or who will still be alive. The CDC is stalling and keeps spinning the FALSE NARATIVE for the Court of Public Opinion to Judge the CP Community and not admit wrong doing its’ “illicit Fentanyl”
We have family, and loved ones, are no different and just like every signature on this document, and involved in what the 2016 CDC G’s did to this Community of real people, families. If they only imagine being in a CPP shoes, the suffering, and the suffering of our family has been forced to witness, live, and wants it to be over before having to watch us die suffering.
Thanks for the article, I want to see this one through. I have a couple of projects and have surgery next week.
