#1 cause of death in the US for 18-45 age range is now Fentanyl poisoning

#8  Lost in the verbiage is the fact that nearly all of this fatal fentanyl comes from illegal sources -- the cartels or even through the US Mail directly from China. Years ago Trump & Xi communicated about this Chinese sourcing, something was supposed to have been done by somebody, but AFAICT nothing really changed except for even MOAR fentanyl coming in from across the border, all of it illegal by US standards.

Yet young people think nothing of getting marijuana from casual sources, and now & then one of them turns up DEAD from the fentanyl added unbeknownst to them. Hence the PR releases saying: "One pill, one time, one dead"

#7  Yeah, why is covid on that list? Certainly something more deadly in that age group?

Maybe they could lump the side effects of covid protocols, the isolation hysteria and depression turned into drug abuse as a covid death, gets those stats padded.

#3  Didn't Our Blessed Martyr St George Floyd tell us to take the sacrament of Holy Fentanyl each day? (In the proper orifice, that is)
