I’m dumping some stuff I found last night. I started with looking at how integrated payer & doc systems like Kaiser/Group Health fdn led the charge in attacking drug makers who made name brand products that were costing them a lot of $. So here it goes: 1/ Starting with John Abramson, who popped up when I was looking at another Rogan guest smearing pharma. So I searched for more about John,

Prediction 8/24-Scheme: Calley Means, the Andrew Kolodny of wellness healthcare venture capital is the PR lead. Trump will appoint RFKjr to lead the White House Chronic Disease Commission. Dr.Casey Means, Dr Drew, Jillian Michaels, Ron Johnson, Peter McCullough👈🏻the panel. 🧵

⬆️ modeled after the White House Opioid Commission, led by Chris Christie (who sits on the board of a non-op!oid pharma co that was also invited), the committee will invite companies to be involved in the solutions/report, & they’ll make millions.

What only a handful of ppl have caught on to, is that MDL litigation where govt is lead lead plaintiff, is being done to get around the lawful rule-making process, installing backdoor regs & causing bankruptcies, that limit free-market choice, thru settlement injunctions.

The big 3 opioid settlement injunctions have caused massive problems with pts not being able to get their essential medications at pharmacies, due to the settlement agreement saying companies must put strict thresholds on what pharmacies can order. It’s TYRANNICAL RATIONING.

I’ve wondered why Natl Harm Redux coalition & DPA w/partnered with a film & outreach program that promotes re-installing the 2016 cdc gls (according to leader Jamie Boyle) & publicizing a stigmatizing film aimed at demonizing rx opioids, while advocating for safe injection sites.



I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact these two sit on the board of directors for Natl HR Coalition. Also, DPA NY has long supported Alexis Pleus from TruthPharm, who helped Nan with her Sackler litigation publicity stunts. These groups are harming ppl who use drugs.

If you impose serious restrictions in one community, but not the next, offenders simply move their operations. By getting all states & all communities on board, it created a truly nationwide solution to a public health crisis.”

So I figured out why Barry was so intent on obfuscating the pain pts’ complaints about his reporting: he’s a niche investigative journalist that covers big class-action litigation, seemingly erring on the side of plaintiffs, which includes billion $ firms. #LitigationNarrative

Also really interesting afa #BarryMeier and his relationship with the prosecutor in the 2007 Purdue case. https://t.co/SlfSdCjSXEstatnews.com/2018/06/06/oxy…

The real cause of the opioid related death explosion isn’t initial exposure to opioids. It’s separating ppl from their safer supply, be it from a MD or from a street source. Going after pharma/supply only made this worse b/c then the solution was to cut everyone off and stop RXs.

@US_Muckraker So IOW, when cops and public health depts (cause they’re partnered now in this endeavor) take out ppl supplying the drugs they deem “highly addictive”, they’re not just trying to ruin the lives of the “dealer” figure, they’re openly aiming to hurt the end recipient of the drug.

Daniel Clauw is retaliating against scientific criticism, and making very non-evidence based generalizations conflating all causes of pain as one (that doesn’t respond to opioids), which reinforces how his non-opioid industry $ causes very biased misinfo. Notice he flashed his disclosure slide so no one would have time to read it. That seems intentional, esp b/c most of the time, researchers leave the slide up long enough that it doesn’t appear to be a part of some subliminal message 💀

Wow! What’s going on over at #UM!? University of Michigan fires president insidehighered.com/news/2022/01/1… 2017, president at the time Mark Schlissel, & Martin Philbert, who worked as head of the School of Public Health, before being appointed Provost by Schlissel, (despite alleged sexual misconduct) at a precision hlth opioid initiative announcement.

Prohibition groomers are pee testimg kids and entering them into a drug-free school club, based on their urine screen. They also get rewards, like cookies (I’m dying here y’all 💀) With parent consent, of course 🙄
open.spotify.com/episode/1nNYm5… All I could think about here was “why can’t the kids be in it without the urine screens?” Imo this is part of normalizing making US citizens comfortable with peeing in a cup and getting rewarded based on the results. I’m sure the lab companies love this. @urbanfatbiker

Are you all aware that this insurance company (also works with DEA/CMS to go after MDs that rx opioids) has been following pts after their MD’s license is taken by DEA, to see what happens a year later? Look what they measured: $ (1st pic). #ORRP #Pain






I dug deeper. Now I’m enraged. Our CDC is collaborating w/this payer as a part of #ORRP & the payer is using the program to see how much money they save by working with law enforcement to go after drs. Read it and weep. #Highmark newsandsentinel.com/news/business/…

At 30 mins in, you’ll hear testimony about something called an “immediate suspension order”. This is the admin tool that DEA used to take away Dr Bockoff’s DEA license & take his assets, w/o having to file charges. #DEACenteredCare #Suicide And this is the same hearing that billionaire law-firm attorneys used as part of their cases. THIS shows how the #LitigationNarrative has had and is still having a direct, deadly effect on patients’ ability to access and maintain medical care related to rx opioids.

#NAAG is corrupt. Thanks for waking me up to the fact that you’re not there for justice, you’re there to enforce the drug war and massive wealth transfers. The way you sacrificed serious and complex incurable disease patients WILL MAKE THE HISTORY BOOKS. Mark my word…. Imma create a running list of all the evidence of interference in the practice of pain tx that’s come from @NatlAssnAttysGn . Feel free to add to it everyone. …g1r8so11ozniw-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/upl…

Anna Lembke and Keith Humphreys must be so proud of themselves. Imagine ppl thinking the 12-step cult would be helpful for those “addicted” to their pain. I’ve truly seen it all. Meeting’s at 8 tonight if any of you wanna go undercover;) intherooms.com/home/live-meet…

nber.org/system/files/c… “The 1990s brought a new phenomenon: the use of litigation to impose regulation. In this scenario, exec-branch agencies or even private parties sue alleged wrongdoers and obtain settlements that govern the defendant’s future behavior through a system of highly specific rules.”

Did you know that there’s a cloud based resource that was funded by the AGs through litigation funds, thats run by OSHU? I believe this was formed so anyone involved in litigation would have access to research that supported the demonization of opioids.
