I don’t think so.

The people at the root of this are pharmaceutical and health tech people who started a media circus in the early 2000’s around OxyContin with the intent to market Suboxone.

Then illegal fentanyl from overseas hit the USA. It caused a spike in overdose deaths and enough politicians lost their family members to it that they decided to start actually counting overdose deaths.

It sure makes it seem like there’s a lot of something the first time you count it. (prior to 2016 neither opioids nor overdose was counted or considered by the CDC. All overdose referred to prior to 2016 are ALL poisonings of any kind.) States have been scrambling to start counting as well. As the real statistics roll in, we are finding no real relationship between prescribing and pain prescribing.

We’re on this slow boat to Hell for the long haul now, though. It doesn’t matter what statistics say, there’s money to be made!

Everyone who has decided to make money or otherwise profit from the opioid crisis narrative has stakes in the crisis narrative continuing. There’s a great deal of money to be lost by saying “we messed up, it was illegal drugs all along!”

It’s also a great way to backdoor cut healthcare costs.

I don’t think their goal to exterminate us but I do think they know what is happening and they don’t care.

I intend on not giving them the pleasure of dying any faster than I can help.
