Josh Bloom: debunking the junk "science" of the opioid crackdown
Dr Josh Bloom, known for his witty and acerbic commentary on what's wrong with and even downright stupid about a lot of "science-based" policy, is the Director of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Science at the American Council on Science and Health in New York. Josh has a PhD in organic chemistry, and no patience at all for the ongoing, supposedly evidence-based crackdown on prescribed opioids. He talks to us about how the facts of pharmaceutical pain relievers are distorted at the get-go by the very words policymakers and the media use to discuss them.
