The Sacklers Got A Fine And Govt Immunity For Killing Your Relatives. This Is America

[Daily Caller] The Sacklers, the billionaire family that owns Purdue Pharma, will receive government immunity for their role in sparking America’s opioid crisis. The immunity is part of an agreement approved by a federal appeals court Tuesday.

With its decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit paved the way toward finally putting an end to the Sackler family saga. In exchange for immunity from current and future civil suits, the Sacklers will pay out $6 billion from their personal fortune. The settlement will finalize Purdue’s bankruptcy filing that has been stalled since 2019, the Huffington Post reported.

While $6 billion might sound like an astronomical sum, it’s not. It is but a drop in the bucket of the damage that this family has done. (RELATED: American Cartel: Billionaire Family Behind OxyContin Apparently Spends ZILCH Rehabbing Addicts)

Purdue’s "highly aggressive" marketing campaign began in 1996 and helped convince doctors to prescribe OxyContin to non-terminal patients that otherwise would not have received addictive opiates.

A hearing in the House Oversight and Reform Committee summarized how and why the family instructed Purdue to target "high-volume prescribers," ignore "safeguards" against opiate abuse, and "deflect blame" away from themselves onto those suffering from addiction.

#2 Fueled by the relatively recent introduction of fentanyl, the opioid epidemic started by the Sacklers is now worse than ever.

And yet, nobody seems to care who is producing and pushing fentanyl. I think if the Sacklers had shared some of their lucre with the right politicians then nobody would be saying much about oxycontin either.

#6 The Canadians are well down the road to whacking anyone who asks for an aspirin. Feinstein’s staff will probably get her to volunteer for the Canadian treatment within the next few weeks.
