Several years ago, I reported on the opioid epidemic for 60 Minutes. One question stayed with me after I left: what happened inside the FDA? I went looking for the missing thread. Here’s what I found.

Great investigative reporting from @SamHornblower examining #FDA review (and lapses in the process) that contributed to the #OpioidCrisis. Many #Opioid #Archive docs referenced. An important read as policymakers consider next steps for #opioid #policy and approval of other drugs.

We've blamed pharma companies for the Opioid crisis - Purdue, J&J and the rest. But what was the FDA's role? And what will weakened health agencies mean for the next public health crisis? Powerful, epic story from @samhornblower in @BW and on this week's @BloombergTV Wall Street Week: bloomberg.com/news/features/…
