that woudl be 477 oer person divided by 6 (the number of years in the study period) which equals 79 pills per person per year- which would not even be a month’s worth of pain meds (considering a person takes 4-6 pills a day as prescribed)- that would be only about 10 days worth of pills per person for the period of 6 years-

See how stats can make something seem huge when it isn’t?

Not in this case.

I don’t know a single person taking these meds as a prescription. And those numbers include children.

This number is absurdly high.
