No. The article is an opinion piece not an in-depth reporting. You can read this "straight to the point" news source [0] to get some facts on that particular matter.

I am not saying that the current crisis is entirely due to this event. But it made what was probably already a bad but manageable situation into a full blown crisis.

This "newsletter" piece [1] in the NYT mentions several other aspects like business concentration.

I'm confused. Your link is about the Abbott plant, but the main article is about the entire market.

And your 2nd link covers the same things as the main article - concentration and too much regulation?
