More Americans died from drug overdoses in 2021 than any previous year, a grim milestone in an epidemic that has now claimed 1 million lives in the 21st century, according to federal data released Wednesday.

More than 100,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2021, up 15 percent from the previous year, according to figures released Wednesday by the National Center for Health Statistics. The sobering tally reflects challenges exacerbated by the pandemic: lost access to treatment, social isolation and a more potent drug supply.

It’s China doing that via chemical warfare. The elite and power in this country don’t care to do anything about it.

Oh look. A squirrel!

Economy gone to the dump, but by golly we gotta go after,law abiding citizens who need pain meds to even get out of bed in the morning, just to have some small semblance of normalcy amidst the crippling pain, because 100,000 people overdosed on illegal street drugs.

Now take the next obvious step, WaPo, and make the obvious connection with Fentanyl pouring across Biden’s open border.

Death toll from drugs, suicide, vaccines, and delayed medical treatments due to lockdown far exceed the deaths due to COVID-1984

$40 more billion to Ukraine. ZERO dollars more to stop the invasion at the southern border and all the drugs and sex slaves that cross.

I think they ought to add Biden as a plus 1 for all the dementia drugs his back-alley doctors in Delaware have been giving him for tune ups every time he goes home there on weekends.

Covid deaths went over a million. Any fanfare from the MSM over that?

Unless people have to wear masks and isolate themselves from the rest of the population, and hospital beds become totally occupied by the ‘victims’, and the government declares it a pandemic, fentanyl deaths will continue to be just statistics.

Please focus on the currently accepted propaganda. Putin is the mad dictator who will take over Europe and the world if we don't agree to everything the deep state wants. Don't mention china! Its not approved.

When I was working for a fire department, we used to get a sudden rash of overdoses when a more potent batch of various types of drugs than normal would hit town. There is no quality control as we would normally understand the concept with illegal drugs. The potency varies greatly. I am surprised that the number is not higher. I can’t tell you how many deaths that I went to.

Many were young people who seemingly had the potential to eventually become productive citizens. But most had started making poor life choices years before and it was the culmination of a downward spiral.

The author did not mention how a wide-open border contributes to the drug problem. I guess she just forgot. /s
