Here you go!

Thank you! Everyone needs to have a look at this.

Yes. My best friend works in public health and this is her area currently. Big pharma is the problem. These drugs are marvels of medicine, but they have been carelessly supplied to people.

Most doctors are just lazy as*hol**. They do this with all drugs. They just give you drugs to get you out of their office. Patients suffer from endless side effects. I was having chemo and had a severe side effect. My shi**y oncologist told me it was all in my head. Drug companies cover up patient complaints and doctors don't report them. FDA is in bed with big pharma. No cure for cancer. No cure for chronic pain. Just greedy people getting rich. Government so influenced by lobbyists. Healthcare is a mess and we have a country full of doctors that don't care about patients with chronic pain or cancer.

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.

We all agree about that.

Who benefits the most? Post-surgery patients. I was sent home 40 hours after a c-section with nothing except ibuprofen so I "wouldn't get addicted."

White, UMC, mid-30's, and married, by the way. It wasn't like the OB was judging. He had just set himself up as some a8shole warrior in the war on drugs.

Which physician did that? Liar.

Huh? Doesn't sound at all implausible.

The Sackler dynasty is 100% responsible. This family convinced doctors all over the country that their drug was safer and less addicting when they knew it was a lie. Greed! Greed! This family is greedy and is responsible for the death of so many people. They are wealthy and elite and are protected by their lawyers. Ivanka Trump friends with a Sackler. This family represents the ultimate price humanity pays for greed. They only understand one thing- lawsuits. Individuals across this country should be running to lawyers to sue this family.

The Sacklers were stupid greedy doctors that started a pharmaceutical company. Did they invent anything new and life saving like curing cancer? No! They took and old drug and tinkered around with it and then marketed it to millions as a new safe alternative for pain. They were really just greedy business men. Then they took their blood money and funneled it into places like Harvard, Yale, Columbia University. They became elite by killing people. They are greedy. Find a lawyer quickly. Perhaps Harvard and Yale should give that money back to victims of this greed. But probably not because they are greedy elites also.

David Sackler. Lawsuits are lining up.

Republicans. Younger voters tend to be liberal, so republicans don't mind a few voters departing from the rolls
