Definitely fuck the Sacklers, but I'm not sure I understand what the part about being FDA approved is supposed to mean. Is it saying that it's surprising that Oxy is FDA approved because it can and does kill so many people? I would argue that the reason it kills more people than heroine and cocaine combined is precisely because it's FDA approved and therefore easier to acquire, not because it's inherently less safe than other opioids. Or is the argument something else?

I think they are just facts and you are trying to read too much context/specificity into it.

But I suppose I posted it because government sanctioned drug epidemics was the vibe.
