How Opvee, Indivior’s powerful overdose antidote, went bust Opvee reverses opioid overdose more quickly than Narcan. It also can cause withdrawal symptoms. Harm reduction advocates fought it, and won.

New: Inside the rise + fall of Opvee, the powerful overdose-reversal medication that Indivior hoped would replace Narcan. Instead, two years after its launch, it's effectively off the market, thanks largely to intense pushback from harm reduction groups. More here:

You can buy a whole host of sketchy drugs at many gas stations. I wondered why gas stations, of all places, were the premier destination for people seeking quasi-legal recreational (or knockoff pharmaceutical) drugs. I dig into why in this week's @statnews.com STATus Report. youtu.be/4QsVjgIWVZs

Moderna's stock priced has plummeted ~90% from it's highs during Covid. Its flagship mRNA technology being basically "under attack from Washington" certainly doesn't help. But there are other factors at play as well. @jasonmast.bsky.social and STAT's Damian Garde explain @statnews.com

I've honestly never heard that before! I definitely have a Boston accent, but I try to mask it a bit on video. Maybe my "trying-not-to-have-a-Boston-accent" accent sounds like a Canadian accent haha.

Sometimes doctors "fake" CPR. It's called a "slow code" in medical parlance. But "slow code" is really an umbrella term for all types of insincere attempts at CPR. Here's a clip from my new @statnews.com video on the topic
