You changed the subject to alcohol though. No one said alcohol wasn't a problem or that opioids have no use. We might as well start talking about first addressing everyone killed in car accidents or unjust wars.
As for this company, maybe they are guilty, I don't know. If they are, shame on them!!
My uncle eventually died of bone cancer (metastatic). His last few months were awful. They were less-awful, because he had a fentanyl patch, that we replace every 24 hours.
Please be thoughtful, that's all I'm asking.
Also, nobody is arguing these opiods don't help the people who need them. The atrocity here is that doctors were bribed to prescribe them to patients who didn't need them at all.
