Are you serious? Criminals are adding Fentanyl to other drugs to make them much more addictive, guaranteeing there are enough desperate addicts to make them very rich. Right now they add just a speck of Fentanyl (which of course is plenty deadly.)

But if drug dealers no longer have to worry about accidentally KILLING THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS - thus killing their own long-term profits - they'll be free to add MORE FENTANYL TO MORE PRODUCTS. All they care about is 💰💰💰💰💰.

I think they meant that the people who really need this treatment are probably the same people who typically dig their heels in over getting vaccinations.

I’m completely baffled by this statement. Where on Earth did you get the idea that the majority or even a statistically significant number of people suffering fentanyl overdoses are anti-vaxxers?

Because there’s a ton of opioid abuse and overdosing in rural areas and particularly in the South. I’m thinking of West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisiana.

And don’t get too worked up. I was just floating a second potential interpretation of the earlier comment.
