WRAL ^ | March 23, 2022 | Laura Leslie

Fentanyl overdose is now the leading cause of death for US adults ages 18 to 45, according to numbers from the CDC.

Official overdose numbers for 2020 were 40% higher than the previous year. Fentanyl was to blame for 73% of those overdoses. In 2021, preliminary data indicates fentanyl was involved in 77% of overdose deaths.

That 77% is a dramatic increase from the 31% of fentanyl-involved overdose deaths in 2016. The percentage has increased every year since, up to 53% in 2017, 56% in 2018 and 61% in 2019.

Better to blame fentanyl than mRNA shots.

When are people going to wake up to the fact that China is slowly killing us?

Drug overdoes

Biological warfare AIDS, Swine Flu, Covid-19 (yes, I said it. Covid19 is just the latest one).

Buying up all our farmland and real estate through complicit front companies - heck, they already own Hawaii which was instrumental in the last Pacific war.

WAKE UP AMERICA! Cheap luxuries are not worth it. Think of your children and grandchildren.

Prove me wrong.

Every policy is for them.

“stupid people do drugs” -— I suppose in 7th grade back in 1987 when the system put me on laboratory produced amphetamines it was because i was stupid,,, i am pretty sure with a comment like that, we know who the stupid ones are.

This is going to sound horrible, but are al these Fentanyl deaths and overdose deaths a bad thing or good thing??? Every time a drug addict overdoses, I do not think that an angel gets it wings or anything, but I do wonder how many crimes do not get committed. Drug addicts and users know what they are doing, and they ignore the risks. I know it is hard if the druggie is a friend or family member, but wouldn’t America be better off without them??? And all the countries they mess up with their drug demand. And at some point, maybe a million deaths a year, we would be making good progress, and maybe then, even the druggies would say Whoa! Or not.

My first hearing of a Heroin death was back in 2001 in Santa Cruz, CA.
Then I started to hear about Americans getting on-line prescriptions for opioids about the same time.
Off shore accounts fabricating prescriptions.

Turns out it started in Silicon Valley back in late ‘90s dealing with the pressures of .com boom.
