We up to 2.2 speed ✌🏻😙

The stupid peaks and troughs logic!! And the “less than 1% of patients became addicted” nonsense!!!!!!!

30k coupons given out to patients for a month of oxy is WILD

Oxy was making $20 mil in profits a WEEK!!

Heroin was created by Bayer (the aspirin folks) as an opioid alternative?? Wack

I can picture the scene from Dopesick where they explain how easy it is to remove the delayed release coating and reading about it now I cannot imagine how no one saw what an issue it was!!!

Tbh I could go for a family tree right about now, I can’t remember who is whose kid

Puzzlemania

Arthur sackler was the advertising brain behind Librium AND Valium???

In 1968, Valium was the most-prescribed prescription in the US. I wonder what it is today? (Answer: atorvastatin)

Rosch didn’t do ANY studies on the addictive effects of Librium and Valium?? The defenses they used also sound reeeeeeeeal similar to those used to justify the safety of opiates.

Audiobook on the treadmill goes crazyyyyy

TIL that “broad spectrum antibiotic” was coined by an advertising agency headed by mister sackler himself!! For Pfizer!!
