The new numbers sound almost too good to be true. After such a devastating run for the fentanyl-fueled opioid epidemic, pushing overdose deaths in the U.S. to more than 100,000, new public health data points to an unprecedented drop in fatalities. This past week, host Lisa Brady spoke with former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams about the reported decline in overdose deaths and what could be behind the positive trend.Dr. Adams said awareness and increased access to overdose-reversing drugs could be critical factors. However, he also warned America should not ‘spike the football,’ as the nation's drug crisis is still very lethal, and deaths remain significantly higher than just a few years ago. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. This week on the FOX News Rundown, we will share our entire interview with former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, where he further discusses America’s drug epidemic and also weighs in on the growing popularity of nitrous gas and legal marijuana among youth.
