They bear no responsibility for the opioid crisis. They were filling orders by pharmacies that could order narcotics. The pharmacies were filling legal prescriptions.
The other two of the big three already settled several years ago with the Feds. Neither admitted to any wrongdoing (nor should they have).
This is just another shakedown by the government. The government will not fix the problem so they always look to pass the blame.
If the distribution of legal opioids were the problem, then why have opioid deaths increased since 2014 while total opioid prescriptions have significantly decreased? Illegal opioids are the problem and government isn’t doing their job to curtail them.

AmerisourceBergen does not prescribe the drugs and does not sell them to end users though. The people that do: doctors and pharmacists.

Wholesalers have zero responsibility to warn others about the side effects of the products they distribute.

Why? Does Pa Wine and Spirits bear responsibility for drunk driving?

A massive problem? 5 pharmacies out of 10,000 is a massive problem. You have no clue as to what you’re talking about.

Nope. I’m a pharmacist and know this is bullshit.
