The Monetary Paradox: Combatting The Nationwide Opioid Crisis To Cost $1 Billion

in #science7 years ago (edited)


We now can see again,  how a crisis can be turned into huge profits... 1 billion and counting to "handle' the damages.  This is a classical case of the right and left collaboration. Another one. 

Conclusion: is BigPharma Too Big To Jail?  

Will we be seeing a huge class action lawsuit, like that against the cigarettes industry? Or only "small fish" paying for the mass murderers?  These corporations must pay ($1Bn) instead of the taxpayers. 

This cases is very dirty as the collusion has taken place on so many levels, hard to deny.

'The war on opioids is in full force, and we are losing. More than  64,000 Americans will die overdose deaths this year. Tighter regulations  on prescription narcotics may just be shifting those with opioid  addictions back to heroin cartels. During his last term, President Obama  signed a bill funding $1 billion into programs combating opioid  addiction, including programs that increased access to naloxone, the  antidote for opioid overdoses. The current administration announced this  year its plan to grant $485 million from the Department of Health and  Human Services (HHS) to states to fight opioid addiction. At the same  time, synthetic opioids like carfentanil are proving highly resistant to  common doses of naloxone, sometimes requiring 10 or more doses of  naloxone to reverse an overdose.  The opioid crisis quickly became a state of emergency. More  than 40 states responded by making naloxone available without a  prescription for the express purpose of enabling family members to  revive their loved ones in case of overdose. Other local initiatives  have involved the push to make naloxone available to all first  responders, including the police and even their K9s who may be exposed  to lethal levels of opioids at crime scenes.'  Read more: If You Can't Afford $4,500 for a Dose of Medicine, You Don't Get to Live
