Without the complete provisional data through the years' end, Vox could not conclude that "some 27,000 fewer Americans died of a drug overdose in 2024 than in 2023. That year-on-year drop is the steepest single-year decline since the government first began keeping track of overdose deaths 45 years ago. It means that drug deaths are now finally coming back down to pre-pandemic levels โ and that we can make progress on what can seem like the most intractable social ills."
The proposed budget has not passed yet. A headline mentioning "Naloxone program that turned tide on overdoses cut by new budget" will go out if/once it passes with that provision, and it cannot go out before, since otherwise the changes haven't been made and there's a chance it won't. Like I've mentioned, a linked article already discusses how the budget provision will cut naloxone programs more.
How is it misrepresenting anything? The entire article is about the precise narcan program methods the article attributes the success to with a clear message that it should continue and is being threatened by the proposed budget.
