Adding to this crisis is the recent increase in USA deaths from opiod overdose.

The MSM has been hyping the increased death rate from opiod pain relievers for months.

In my opinion, the MSM hype this “epidemic” because white victims are slightly over-represented compared to non-white victims in pain reliever deaths.

However, pain reliever deaths (20,000) represent less than 40% of total overdose deaths, and non-white victims are heavily over-represented in the “other” drug deaths.

And, it's not an "epidemic."

Pain relievers killed less than 1% of the 2.6 million Americans who died last year.

While CHOICE killed around a million future AMEERICANS.
