Three New Yorkers die of fentanyl overdose after ordering cocaine from drug delivery service [a dumb lawyer, a dumb trading executive, and a dumb social worker threw their lives away]

Three New York professionals died of fentanyl overdoses after ordering cocaine from the same drug delivery service, leading to charges for the dealer behind the deliveries.

"Julia was a driven professional with everything to live for. Never in a billion years would she have touched anything with fentanyl," Sassan Ghahramani, whose daughter Julia Ghahramani died of a fentanyl overdose, told the Wall Street Journal in a report Sunday. "This is like putting bullets in people’s brains."

Julia Ghahramani, a 26-year-old lawyer who had just started her first job, died of a fentanyl overdose in March 2021. That same day, 40-year-old trading executive Ross Mtangi and 38-year-old social worker Amanda Scher also died of a fentanyl overdose. The three professionals all ordered cocaine from a GrubHub-like delivery service on the same day, but the drugs turned out to be laced with a deadly amount of fentanyl.

The alleged drug dealer in the cases, Billy Ortega, is now facing charges of causing the three deaths and distributing drugs. He has pleaded not guilty in the case and is awaiting trial.

Prosecutors allege that Ortega was a stay-at-home dad selling drugs out of his house in rural New Jersey and used a courier, Kaylen Rainey, to deliver the drugs. Rainey was living in a Manhattan apartment registered to Ortega's family, receiving text message instructions for deliveries from Ortega.

Fentanyl is a terrible drug. You become addicted rapidly. You rapidly develop a tolerance and in large doses the drug sequesters in the lungs and then leeches out causing repository depressions hours after the original ingestion. Fentanyl is very potent and if the drug is not properly dosed you can end up dead very quickly.

But it’s nonetheless very profitable and easy to ship into our country and on our streets. As for deaths - dealers know there’s always more standing in line and also those willing to distribute...so no loss to them.

Re: Fentanyl, thank you for your information. In spite of the concise description of its behavior, one finds it a part of the "hospital protocol" which Fauci and the CDC have mandated.

One reads from "Nebulized Fentanyl for Respiratory Symptoms in Patients With COVID-19 (Ventanyl)"

Source: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05165992

Additionally: "No Longer a Scourge, Fentanyl Is Now Most-Needed Drug in COVID-19 War"

Source: https://www.njspotlightnews.org/2020/04/no-longer-a-scourge-fentanyl-is-now-most-needed-drug-in-covid-19-war/

Given the worldwide SARS CoV2 mortality rate over 34 months of 0.083 percent in the entire population, as well as the continuation of the EUAs because the mRNA injections remain experimental and clinical trials not yet concluded, that dangerous drugs are being deemed "needed" and yet in other circumstances are blamed for overdose deaths during recreational use presents a most checkered picture. In thing leaps out of the stats, and that is that here in the US we are four times worse than many third world countries in mortality, and "recreational" and "protocol" fentanyl useage seems so foolish.

I thought this was going to be a "a lawyer, a trading executive, and a social worker walk into a bar" joke.

Fentanyl Is actually an effective sedative used every day in hospitals across the country to lightly put people under for surgeries that don’t require going deep under.

Of course it’s used while being monitored by trained anesthesiologists.

Crisis of People in positions of trust and responsibility who think that their reckless actions, personal and professional, will have no consequences for them.

DITTOES. DITTOES. Bears repeating. Tell that to every selfrighteous Cloth mask-wearing Covid Karen you meet.
