Pharma: Greed, Lies, and the Poisoning of America
About Gerald Posner
This is abt a 38 minute interview. Posner’s position is to target Purdue Pharma and the Sackler Family and all the profits that they made off of the marketing/selling of Oxycontin and of course … to sell his new book.He talks about a lot of issues surrounding the fabricated opiate crisis.. he describes the health issue of Hyperalgesia without ever mentioning the name of Hyperalgesia.
He at times injects the fact that “some” people actually needs opiates for long term pain – abt 30 days ?
He mentions a couple of Mothers who lost children to overdoses and how they took action after their kids OD.
He blames everyone for failing to control the distribution of opiates – FDA, Pharmas, Drug Wholesalers, prescribers, Pharmacy/Pharmacists… I do not remember the first word about the failure of the DEA ?
He didn’t mention the DECADE OF PAIN LAW https://www.congress.gov/bill/106th-congress/house-bill/2260 where prescribers were encouraged to adequately treat pt’s pain and the Joint Commission made proper pain management – the 5th vital sign – and a MAJOR STANDARD.
There was no mention that addiction was a MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE
Tucker even mentioned having some dental procedure and receiving TWO PRESCRIPTIONS – did not indicate what they where – put stated that he did not take them and FLUSHED THEM. He also made the statement that he had previously had some surgical procedure and was given Morphine IV and “..didn’t like how it made him feel..” It would seem obvious that Tucker is opiophobic.
Anyone can get a 7 or 30 day FREE TRIAL of www.foxnation.com… if anyone really wants to watch this lopsided piece of literature.

“In a 2018 report titled, Quantifying the Epidemic of Prescription Opioid Overdose Deaths, four senior analysts of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including the head of the Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch, acknowledged for the first time that the number of prescription opioid overdose deaths reported by the CDC in 2016 was erroneous. The error, they said, was caused by miscoding deaths involving illicitly manufactured fentanyl (IMF) as deaths involving prescribed fentanyl.
To understand what caused this error, the authors examined the CDC’s methodology for for compiling drug-related mortality data, beginning with the source data obtained from approximately 2.8 million death certificates received each year from state vital statistics registrars. Systemic problems often begin outside the CDC, with a surprisingly high rate of errors and omissions in the source data. Using the CDC’s explanation for what caused the error, the authors show why an international program used by the CDC for reporting mortality is ill-suited for compiling and reporting drug overdose deaths.”
=================
This paper in a reputable medical journal demonstrates that the so-called “prescription opioid epidemic” is bogus — and that CDC has known it is bogus for years.
Please disseminate widely. I will push in my social media networks. Red Lawhern
Well it’s all in the DOJ’s hands now and there is plenty of money to ‘go around’ to make sure opiates remain hated which includes doctors, pharmaceutical manufacturing and pharmacies.
This amazing page discusses in detail the innocence of the Sacklers…
