    The country is in the midst of an opioid epidemic. Did the FDA play a role in how we got here? https://usat.ly/2DPI0VL pic.twitter.com/Ir8NnZbLBJ

        Greed from pharmaceutical companies, and perhaps Kickbacks to Physicians created the crisis?

        Selling Oxy as a nonaddictive painkiller worked really well. Now we have cabinet members making money off of mass shootings as gun stocks rise and addiction rates increase. New CDC head bought tons of tobacco stock. Good for business.

        The opioid epidemic was created by the pharmaceutical companies and Doctors and government has done nothing to combat it because of profit finding it’s way into politicians pockets and they refuse to federally legalize marijuana to try to end the epidemic

        There's more money to be made in treating sickness than curing it

        Certain pharmaceuticals always play a role. The love of money plays the biggest role in creating addiction.
