Who profits the most from the opioid epidemic?

[Anonymous]

"The Drugging of Americans is Deliberate" is another excellent article. It addresses the Sackler orchestration.

Thalidomide was never approved for use because a brave woman in the FDA refused to approve it.

Opiates were approved but the use was over prescribed because pharma did not do proper education to the doctors. They lies to doctors.

Exactly. Thank you for speaking the truth.

Doctors bloody well have the education to figure these things out for themselves. Doctors have been very lazy and that has harmed many people.
Doctors (and dentists) should not need some pharma rep with a B.S. in business to explain how a drug affects people.
Pathetic.

You clearly do not know how the medical field works.

Do you? I do know that the medical industry LOVES those golfing "conferences" paid for by the Sacklers and their Big Pharma accomplices. -DP

Yes, I do. But you do know the medical industry counts on big pharma to educate them on the use and saftey of the drug. Also ...

"But the F.D.A., in an unusual step, approved a package insert for OxyContin which announced that the drug was safer than rival painkillers, because the patented delayed-absorption mechanism “is believed to reduce the abuse liability.”

Also the FDA doctor that approved Oxycotin went and worked for Purdue.


While there were some doctor's paid to robber baron for Purdue. Most doctors were uninformed because they were given false information that was published on the FDA approved insert.

Modern day American physicians have been legalized drug pushers. Shame on them.

There is plenty of blame to go around. Big Pharma and the SAcklers, for sure. Doctors who are busy and would rather give a 30 day prescription for opiates post-surgery than a 5 day prescription and have to see the patient again. People who expect pain to go away with a pill rather than through physical therapy and hard work. Greedy doctors/businessmen who set up "pain clinics" in low-income areas. Yes, low-level drug dealers and their bosses (often from Mexico, particularly a certain region of Mexico). The FDA. The government for not cracking down.

Read Dreamland. It is an excellent, though look at this problem.

The Sackler name needs to go away.
They done bad. Very bad.

Tom Petty died from these Sackler opioids.

They should be charged with the murder of so many of our loved ones.

I agree but I also blame the Sacklers after reading this. There is plenty to go around.

But yes, some doctors are incompetent, indifferent, or just plain crooks. They should have their licenses removed, but there's a culture where doctors will not criticize or police each other for even sheer malpractice. It's sick.
