There is actually a thread of truth to his claim.

Here in KY there is an epidemic of this stuff being prescribed in some towns. But, truth be told, it’s the doctors AND the suppliers. IIRC, one small town here went through something like two million “legal” prescriptions in a year or two.

A ‘year or 2’? What was it? 1 year? 2? Several years?- lying media!

From the article:

The suit alleges that from January 2010 through December 2016, McKesson distributed 18,434,834 doses of prescription opioids in Floyd County alone, amounting to 477 opioid pills for every person living in the county.

Not "Prescriptions" but rather doses......
