I didn't put that disinformation - I never said OxyContin killed more than COVID-19. I put true information based on testimony from lawsuits and direct interviews. Sackler representatives told providers that OxyContin was "OxyCodeine" and "less addictive" than Codeine (untrue). I'm sorry you are a pain patient and indeed, sorry you must suffer pain. Defending people who marketed and heavily sold ADDICTIVE medicine that causes universal dependency and that leads to fatal addiction in 7% of the people who were prescribed it? I believe that you could have some type of pain relief that is not tied to this type of dependent medicine. I understand (and wrote) about chronic pain patients with no other alternatives. But you aren't defending them even though you state you are one. You are defending people who developed one of the most deadly business models in the history of humanity.
