Even Republicans Are Challenging Trump’s Claim That His Venezuela Campaign Is About Drugs
Even Republicans Are Challenging Trump’s Claim That His Venezuela Campaign Is About Drugs
Even some Republican lawmakers criticized the Trump administration’s assertion that it is engaging in a military campaign in Venezuela to block fentanyl trafficking into the US. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is resigning from Congress on Monday following a split from Trump, said on Sunday that the president should target Mexico if he wants […]
Mirage News: Email Alerts Spur Database Use for Safer Prescribing . “A new randomized clinical trial finds that simple reminder emails substantially increase clinicians’ use of a database that supports safe prescribing of opioids and other drugs, even though opioid prescribing patterns themselves did not meaningfully change during the study period.”

A fentanyl vaccine is about to get its first major test https://arstechni.ca/yTqr #syndication #fentanyl #vaccines #Science #opioids #Health
"ARMR’s experimental vaccine is designed to neutralize fentanyl in the bloodstream before it reaches the brain. Keeping fentanyl out of the brain would prevent the respiratory failure that comes with overdose, which causes death, as well as the euphoric high people get while taking fentanyl.
The basic idea behind ARMR’s shot is the same as any other vaccine. It trains the body’s immune system to make antibodies that recognize a foreign invader. But since fentanyl is much smaller than the pathogens our current vaccines target, it doesn’t trigger a natural antibody response on its own. To stimulate antibody production, ARMR has paired a fentanyl-like molecule with a “carrier” protein—a deactivated diphtheria toxin that’s already used in several approved medical products.
If a vaccinated person encounters fentanyl, antibodies in the blood would then bind to the drug and prevent it from traveling to the brain. Normally, fentanyl molecules can pass through the blood-brain barrier with ease, in part because of their small size. But fentanyl molecules with antibodies attached would be too big to get through." #fentanyl #opioids #vaccines https://www.wired.com/story/a-fentanyl-vaccine-is-about-to-get-its-first-major-test/

‘The Next Wave in the Opioid Crisis’: A New Drug Stronger Than Fentanyl Is Taking Off
US bankruptcy court to approve deal with Purdue Pharma and Sackler family | Drugs News | Al Jazeera
#Opioids #Addiction
The deal is among the largest in a series of opioid settlements brought by state & local governments against drugmakers, wholesalers & pharmacies that totaled about $50 billion. It could close a long chapter — & maybe the entire book — on a legal odyssey over efforts to hold the company to account for its role in an #OpioidCrisis connected to 900,000 deaths in the U.S. since 1999, including deaths from #heroin & illicit #fentanyl.
Judge says he'll approve opioid settlement with #OxyContin maker #Purdue & #Sackler family
A federal bankruptcy court judge on Friday said he will approve OxyContin-maker #PurduePharma’s latest deal to settle thousands of lawsuits over the toll of #opioids that includes some money for thousands of victims of the epidemic.

OnWisconsin: AI Referrals Can Reduce Opioid Addiction. “In a recent UW study, an AI screening tool successfully identified hospitalized adults at risk for opioid use disorder and recommended referral to inpatient addiction specialists. The AI method was just as effective as a health provider in initiating addiction-specialist consultations and recommending monitoring of opioid withdrawal.”

If Trump can declare that the United States is at war with drug traffickers from South America and elsewhere, and that drug trafficking to the United States is an act of war, how is it that the Sackler family isn't guilty of war against the United States population too?
After all, they did deliberately use opioids to addict millions of Americans and kill hundreds of thousands of them for a profit. And yet they get off with a slap on the wrist? Not to mention a giant tax cut from Trump?
Doesn't seem to make sense!
