There is a new tool available to the public that tracks the deadly impact of the fentanyl epidemic throughout Texas.

Governor Greg Abbott has launched a fentanyl dashboard on the Department of State Health Services' website.

The dashboard, below, shows drug poisoning deaths in orange and fentanyl-related deaths in blue.

So far, in 2023, there have been 540 deaths from fentanyl. Just last year, there were 2,100 deaths from fentanyl.

About a month ago, Abbott signed a bill that will classify fentanyl deaths as poisonings – it will go into effect in September. Additionally, it increases criminal penalties for producing, selling and distributing fentanyl.

I wonder what it would take to have something like this to tell us how many are dead from the vax?

Fentanyl will be showing up in the cereal boxes in your grocery store next month. It seems to be the most plentiful substance on earth right now. They are putting it in everything!

Fentanyl deaths are suicides. Taking drugs is a CHOICE. Anyone over twelve years of age knows that taking drugs may result in death. Bad choices have bad outcomes.

Fentanyl is removing undesirables from society.
