You suspect the CDC would massage their messaging to manipulate (nudge?) public opinion towards achieving a desired outcome, rather than just straightforward factual scientific reporting the likes of which most people would expect?

Hard to speculate on motivation, but it's very odd that the information is arranged in a way that makes it very difficult to figure out "overdoses are the #1 killer of people aged 1-44".

Is there any reason to believe this has been changed from the 5 years or so ago when overdoses were not the #1 killer?
