In this installment of our series on the sociopathy driving the Opioid Crisis, some of the notorious Sacklers go back to blaming America's doctors. Are they even wrong?
MIC results in 3% (well 5% if all is counted) of GDP spent on defence for which the US gets a 2% quality of service and massive investment in carriers and F-35s all of which are outdated because of modern missile tech that US does not have.
We all know this and we all know bribery of Washington is the main cause.
US health spends 18% of GDP on health, private and public, and yet life expectancy is lower than European countries with 12% of a lower per head GDP.
This case also is somewhat close to the Boy Scout lawsuit. This going out of business to shield or allow people their individual due process is a bunch or horseshit. The Boy Scouts is even more horrendous as insurance companies have paid pennies on the dollar to settle what each claim should be worth and then there will be a fund set up for those who bring future cases against them to the tune of 5 billion which gets run by a law firm. The only people who make money in lawsuits anymore are the lawyers. I’m not begrudging them but in this now class action Scout case they will get 33% of each settled judgement and if you should have 10 clients you can do the math. Some of these firms had 100’s of clients. If each won $100,000 you can do the math and the sum they made isn’t small. One person sexually assaulted keeps 66k and the lawyers 34k. Multiply it from there. I’m not so sure it was supposed to be this way but what is anymore? With these class action cases it robs people their day in court and hiding behind bankruptcy is even more evil. This is where we are though and I highly doubt it changes for the plaintiffs.
Investigated reporter, Patrick Radden-Keefe , the bankruptcy judge drain quit his position as Judge immediately after Sackler’s case and went to work for a company affiliated with Sackler. Sackler did the same thing, of course with the FDA official. Meanwhile, a lions shareof the billions that are being paid out because of the lawsuit is being returned to drug companies by way of harm reduction organizations that are putting people on a second, Sackler opiate called Suboxone. Suboxone is marketed as a treatment although it’s been shown to perpetuate addiction and more than 60% of users relapse within 30 days. Almost 90% relapse within 12 months. A memo was included in court documents between sackler’s stating that Suboxone‘s high failure rate meant more profit because of repeat customers. Hence the skyrocketing death rate from opiates in the US while almost all other countries have had stable addiction rates the last 20 years. I’ve been researching and writing about this for two years after my son who had been off drugs for weeks, was persuaded to take Suboxone as a treatment. Users aren’t told it’s addictive. Matthew Perry said the same thing about Suboxone that it was the worst drug ever. Is being given to prisoners as per a directive from Congress after hundreds of millions were spent lobbying them in 2022. My email
The Sacklers are doing a great job of exposing not only themselves but also Big Pharma's basic "philosophy": dodgy product but who cares, lie, shoot up the town, take the money and run.
You ask about the doctors… Did the company and the FDA put out misleading “proof”that the drug helped with pain yet was not addictive in the long term? —A total lie to the doctors? I seem to remember this being the case—like the Tobacco companies lying about the addictiveness of smoking their products.

You can be quite certain the cause is the same.

We're always looking for villains to match the ones in fiction. It's rare to actually find some.
