@ejb1893 @CitizenViz @RyanForRecovery @praddenkeefe @geraldposner @RepKatiePorter @RepGolden I give you a head-start: Tom McLellan
Board member of the makers of Suboxone since they formed. ALSO board member of addx non-profit and lobbyist Shatterproof. Isn’t it so interesting that in the Shatterproof bio they leave that part out? No one cares.. indivior.com/en/about-us/ou…
@ejb1893 @CitizenViz @RyanForRecovery @praddenkeefe @geraldposner @RepKatiePorter @RepGolden Now picture this: the AGs decide to go after the MAT industry due to bad marketing and pt deaths + the flooding of meds. Imagine what would happen if they decided to brainwash the pubic that all MAT meds are bad and dangerous, DEA raids MDs and pharmacy’s, pts are cut off.
@ejb1893 @CitizenViz @RyanForRecovery @praddenkeefe @geraldposner @RepKatiePorter @RepGolden The focus on demonizing opioids has really just thrown gasoline on DEA’s racist drug war, giving them free rein to rob MDs of assets, and kill pain pts and ppl w/addx by making it impossible for them to get the medicine /treatments they need. But by all means, keep going.
@ejb1893 @CitizenViz @RyanForRecovery @praddenkeefe @geraldposner @RepKatiePorter @RepGolden And Ed Bisch, you should be ashamed of yourself radicalizing ppl in the way you do. Seriously. It’s obvious you’re only in this for vengeance. Otherwise, you’d have listened when we told you that what you’re doing is killing ppl.
@ejb1893 @CitizenViz @RyanForRecovery @praddenkeefe @geraldposner @RepKatiePorter @RepGolden The DEAs crackdown without proper help for ppl w/addx, is what killed ppl. Illicits killed ppl. The DEA has scapegoated their failed war on drugs, onto doctors. Now ppl and pharma are profiting off the opioid elimination industry. Drugs don’t CAUSE addx.
@ejb1893 @CitizenViz @RyanForRecovery @praddenkeefe @geraldposner @RepKatiePorter @RepGolden Also, full disclosure:
I’m a patient with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic illness that causes a lifetime of pain. My life was greatly improved by opioid medication, and it’s now in jeopardy due to this war on pain meds. I receive no compensation for my research.
@ejb1893 @CitizenViz @RyanForRecovery @praddenkeefe @geraldposner @RepKatiePorter @RepGolden Also, Ed Bisch, thanks for blocking me after that. I guess it’s too much to ask for you to stop and look at the situation of 100,000 deaths to see that what you’re pushing not only doesn’t work, but MDs not treating pain is causing MORE ODs. At least we know you don’t care.

Hey guys, remember this article? Remember the pill shaming comments from April Caraway? (as shown in the screenshots) Turns out she’s a witness for the prosecution in the Ohio opioid pharmacy trial. wfmj.com/story/45005498… ImageImageImageImage
While she was allowed to testify, at least Polster barred her from spewing her gateway testimony. Image

What Your Death Certificate Says About You May Be Wrong: A Narrative Review on CDC's Efforts to Quantify Prescription Opioid Overdose Deaths - PubMed pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34667687/
No distinction between illicit opioids vs rx. ALL were coded and presented as rx. One of the most egregious things about this is the fact that deadly illicit fent, which was one of the main factors in most of the ODs, was and still is presented as an rx opioid.

You want to know why Durbin, a congress member, is trying to influence the whole opioid issue? Because his long time chief of staff’s wife is neck-deep in lobbying for clients that directly benefit from smearing opioid pharmaceuticals for money from the billions in litigation. ImageImageImageImage
I stand by my belief that any politician at this point that continues to restrict rx pain meds has some major $ skin in the game. They’re all aware of the illicit poly drug OD crisis. There’s NO EXCUSE for torturing ppl in pain other than financial gain or depravity.
Not to mention his biggest campaign donors are attorneys and law firms… Image

October of 2017, AGs wrote letters to 15 PBMs, which were based on the cdc guidelines. No wonder ppl report issues getting RXs….portal.ct.gov/AG/Press-Relea…
Here’s are the letters. I’m now understanding why CVS (along with BCBS) was allowed to be on the special voting committee for the Purdue case. A few examples in the screenshots ⬇️ Did they make a deal, I wonder?😡
portal.ct.gov/-/media/AG/Pre…
I was personally harmed by what CVS (Caremark) did here. Tomorrow I’ll be digging up the paperwork to post to show evidence of them trying to force/taper me down. They didn’t just use the cdc acute gls, they did a 50 mme limit for even “legacy” CP patients.

Listen at 1:41:40! We need to be reaching out to Orrin Hatch ASAP. He calls out the fact that the expert witnesses (like Kolodny & Rannazzisi) and the AGs are using congress to further their narrative to completely vilify the opioid pharma industry.

Here’s the article with the quote Hatch referred to: bloomberg.com/news/features/…
