AIGC Tells the Truth | Where Does America's Drug Addiction Originate? Fentanyl | Medication | USA
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, from January 2021 to January 2022, over 100000 people in the United States died from drug overdoses and drug poisoning, of which 67% died from synthetic opioid drugs such as fentanyl.
The Guardian of the UK pointed out as early as 2017 that American pharmaceutical companies spend far more on influencing politicians than other industries. "In the previous decade, pharmaceutical companies invested nearly $2.5 billion in lobbying and funding US Congress members."
The Washington Post reported that the US Congress did not pass a bill specifically targeting fentanyl until December 2017, nearly four years after lawmakers first received warnings about the dangers of the drug.
