Could you imagine funeral homes billing big pharma for all the deaths caused by our deadly drug epidemic?

They created pills that are addicting and are prescribed by doctors. People, even those with non-addictive personalities, have a hard time breaking that addiction, so pharmaceutical companies made more drugs to help, profiting even more. Man, they have the money.

People can’t afford the pills or shots to help beat addiction, or rehab, so they hit the streets for a cheaper product. It’s often mixed with fentanyl, and many who take it die. Wow.

What is actually being done?
