CDC Data Shows Overdose Deaths Hit Record High in 2020
Leave it to the CDC….the more u scare the doctors the less they ate prescribing the overdoses sence they are forced to buy off the streets..
Meanwhile we keep legalizing more recreational drugs… Get them early, keep them hooked! 🤡
My friend died at a half way house earlier in the year. From a drug overdose
My husband, Michael Howard Ordway, please tell his story
SACKLER family ? They are responsible for creating the biggest drug epidemic in us history. Guess what. The SACKLERs buy their way out of it… Yes the SACKLERs will get away with it.?
China has sent vaccines to over 90 countries. – Sen.Kennedy
USA has sent expiring J&J vaccines refused by Americans, to Mexico.
Thank you American Antivaxxers. The people of the world would not have these vaccines if it wasn't
for your commitment to believing what the dumbest guy in medical school had written on Facebook. – T.Noah.
11 months after New Zealand's last Covid death, watching American media is like stepping back in time.
NEW ZEALAND FOLLOWED THE WHO SIMPLE 3 POINT PLAN resulting in 26 Covid deaths; the last in August 2020.
USA left the WHO and mocked it's simple 3 point plan resulting in 624,606 Covid deaths with 300 more each day.
In late 2020 an independent international WHO investigation confirmed to the world that COVID WAS NOT MAN-MADE.
Why dont people use the brain God gave them and leaves pain pill alone and one who needs them
American used to be 2nd largest opioid dealer in the world behind the Queen of England, today American are suffering from opioid crisis. Karma
But Marijuana's the problem huh?
All but two states in the top ten for overdose increases were Red Insurrectionist states. Too bad they didn't secede from the Union like they wanted when Obama was elected.
1. Vermont: 57.6%
2. West Virginia: 55.6%
3. Kentucky: 53.7%
4. South Carolina: 52.8%
5. Louisiana: 47.6%
6. Tennessee: 44.6%
7. California: 43.7%
8. Nebraska: 43.2%
9. Arkansas: 42.3%
10. Virginia: 42.1%
Well when people were deprived of health Care , couldn’t see their doctors , get routine lab work done , because they were told – DUE TO COVID we are not seeing patients at this time . Even Dentists were shut down ! What did the CDC think would happen-? People medicated themselves, or alcohol. Even if you called – got message… DUE TO COVID,
I am a patient in need of pain medication and it is difficult to get a pain script. They require you to come to office visit ( 45$ copay which I cant afford) to refill the script and provide Urine sample, like I am a criminal on probation.
majority of fentanyl is coming from CHINA…

Thank you Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family!!! Let's place the blame where blame is due!
Do ur thang u guys keep it up
"Thoughts" Lots of people suffer in all sorts of pain. DEA Controlls the amount Dr. can give. Doctors Know they are not giving you enough to control the pain. Pain management controls how much & what is allowed in your system, Urine test is mandatory by the DEA. If WEED Is in your system they take your pain meds away, that they got you addicted to in the first place & Dr knows that weed will help assist with the pain…but he is under control of DEA… So they give u a lil bit to keep you coming back, They are all Dealers!!!! Thats why the Federal Goverment has not approved the legalization of weed, Because its cheaper to make a pill than it is to grow weed. Once Federal approves you will be picking up your weed & pain meds at the pharmacy…
Gee ,, did any of these come drugs come through the southern boarder ? Thanks Biden
The American people are suffering and being ignored,these numbers will continue to climb because the poor will continue to be ignored 😞
Oh well. It's a CHOICE!!!! Let the stupid go.
Suicides overdoses cancer etc all from the lockdowns for a 99% virus. So terribly sad. Saving lives from covid is having a massive cost of other lives and economical hardship.
Make it legal so people know what they are getting.
And smoking cigarettes kills almost half a million people a year
