Well the libs got their wish. All the drug companies will soon be out of business.
Everybody losses on this one. The only winner is the bloated federal government by whose ever expanding tyranny is the REAL perp.
When the mostly unconstitutional government wins, We the People lose.
This sounds like a bullsh*t ruling.
Great news, unless you suffer debilitating pain. You’ll just have to suffer, or find a drug dealer on the street somewhere...
I saw the AG out there, I assume, most of the people are Republicans suing them per State of OK. I read some article quite a while ago on J&J and this opioid epidemic. We will see. I remember some of the facts, not too favorable to them.
Bad precedent as this sets up gun and ammo makers as the next targets.
I don’t like J&J due to their leftist views. Still this one is wrong.
Just notice the number of commercials being aired by law firms wanting to get their hands on the Monsanto Round Up lawsuits............
just like smoking...no matter what, it is not, never was, nor ever shall be the fault of the smoker....smokers, btw, ALWAYS get their breaks...
oh to be favored in this county.....
smokers/druggies favored.....overweight??...its your own darn fault you lazy cow...
I know we have some smart hackers. Found out how this “judge” did with regard to real (e.g. STEM) classes as an undergrad. (Science for poets and football players, no doubt.)
We already know the relationship between reality and liberal law.
Liberal law - “Spooky action at a distance.”
THE cause of the opiod crisis was the Obama administration making pain a part of vital signs.
Doctors had to describe these pills if anyone was in pain of face lawsuits and disciplinary actions.
Net worth = $360 billion.
What a Racket, I hope Everyone of these Plaintiffs, Jurors, Lawyers and the Judge SUFFER from a Bad Accident or other extremely painful event, and they should ALL be put on a NO OPIOID LIST for the Rest of their miserable lives.
when I was 18 I had a Bad Accident and had a choice to go into a Medical Coma or Take ALL the Percodan(yesterdays oxycontin) I could eat for 3 months. I became very addicted, I went through withdrawls in the Hospital immediately after Surgery. All by CHOICE!!!
It’s kind of like gun control, just demonize a medication instead of the misuse. Make it harder for law-abiding citizens to have Firearms or truly needy patients to receive pain relieving drugs. Statistics do show an increase of overdose on opioids, but it’s not prescription drugs that are the cause. It is the Street Fentanyl and the illicit drugs imported from China
In addition to the other actors in the opiod mess, the ACA, as enforced, coerced hospitals towards coercing their doctors to prescribe painkillers at high rates.
Exactly! Government is going after prescription opiates because they can’t/won’t go after drug cartels -— too much graft at stake. It burns me up! Then, to put the icing on the cake, they loudly crow about their “successful” efforts against opioid “abuse”. If J&J stopped making opioids tomorrow, it wouldn’t put the slightest dent in the problem. It would (will), however, drive the price of prescription opioids through the roof -— another “win” in the opioid wars.
