    We're taking a number of new steps to empower local communities in their fight against the opioid epidemic. These are part of @HHSGov’s comprehensive strategy for the crisis, which is grounded in the best science and evidence we have. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/09/19/donald-trump-opioid-crisis-epidemic-addiction-nalaxone-heroine-column/1347574002/ … #OpioidAwareness

        Just curious if you are aware of the hundreds of other afflictions besides addiction. There’s so many things worse the addiction that need funds and research money. Incurables are being exterminated with depraved indifference over your PROPaganda. Worst HHS director ever!

        I called HHS, don’t want to get to woman in trouble but she laughed when I asked her in a completely serious tone “is @SecAzar aware other diseases exist besides addiction?” It’s sad and darkly funny that I have to ask this. A child can do a better job then him.

        So are you giving big pharma 60 days to find a way to stop the misuse of their product, or killing their industry? If not, you're a little two faced on how to handle these types of problems.

        Secretary Azar, this is great news. There are however people who enjoy a better quality of life because of opioids. And then there is Kratom which has helped thousands of people to kick opiates and the FDA and DEA want to ban it.

        I was hopelessly addicted to pain medication for a decade. Lives a horrid life on that junk. Thankfully, kratom saved me. No exaggeration. @SGottliebFDA please end your war on botanical supplements and Matt with the aka. You don’t know how many lives you could save by yourself!

        What are you doing to make Big Pharma accountable for their significant role in this epidemic?

        You should concern yourself with finding f all the missing kids and reunite the ones you separated. Until that is accomplished nothing else should matter #kidnaper
