      Ed Markey Retweeted STAT

      When Purdue started selling Oxy, execs gleefully imagined “a blizzard of prescriptions that will bury the competition.” Instead, it buried communities across America in opioid addiction and overdoses. Big Pharma must be held accountable for recklessly fueling the #OpioidEpidemic.https://twitter.com/statnews/status/1085541181939949573 …

      Ed Markey added,

      STATVerified account @statnews
      New documents show how Purdue Pharma marketed OxyContin and responded to questions of addiction. In 2001, Purdue President Richard Sackler wrote, "We have to hammer on the abusers in every way possible. ... They are reckless criminals.” https://buff.ly/2VVUNvc

      Purdue infiltrated hospitals to push physicians to prescribe more opioids just to drive their sales. Corporate persuasion campaigns like this are why Congress needs to pass my legislation to make independent education on the risks of opioids mandatory for all prescribers.

          Will congress also look closely into the relationship of Big Pharma and the last presidential election? The financial aid offered above and below the table to their preferred candidate?

          They donate to all sides. Mostly Dems when they wanted and received a sweet deal during Obamacare debate.

          Don’t let drs off the hook here too. Our Drs warned of serious consequences of the new drug in the early 90’s. It helped my terminally ill mom have a better quality of life. Because of good drs, I destroyed 3 bottles of it with 2 hrs of my mother’s passing. Drs prescribe.

          Gee, Ed. Why not throw a little of that outrage at @Harvard? They seem to like to wash money made from the suffering of millions and call it appreciation for the arts. #mapoli #PurduePharmapic.twitter.com/fHboF69Wzz
