      In the late 1980’s Surgeon General C. Everett Koop--- sent a pamphlet, called “Understanding AIDS” to every household in America, detailing ways individuals could get involved to stop the HIV epidemic. The opioid crisis calls for the same approach.

      So I took a 21st century slant & issued a digital postcard to educate Americans about the opioid crisis. It provides the public w/tangible actions they can take to raise awareness, prevent addiction & stop overdose deaths. Visit http://surgeongeneral.gov  to download/share it.pic.twitter.com/CdnK9aocOs

          Be honest it is NOT prescription MEDICATION causing this it is HEROIN AND ILLICIT FENTANYL. Oops, I forgot HONESTY is not within the governments' capabilities! #PROPaganda #MoneyOverLives #AmerianGenocide

          This postcard isn't on the homepage. Perhaps you could directly link to this subdomain, which has a direct link to download the graphic? https://addiction.surgeongeneral.gov/  But if you & @HHSgov just tweet & share this on other platforms, it will get out. No need to visit a .gov or download.

          How about we first look at the pharmaceutical companies and the doctors that are pushing Oxy.

          Graduating physicians take an oath to do no harm. Do you have any idea of the harm you and your peers are causing to patients who take prescribed opioids for legitimate diagnosis & who are now suffering & dying b/c their MDs are too afraid to continue Tx?
