The number that’s harder to find is how many people die from drugs prescribed by their own doctors. I would surmise that the number is greater than the opioid, Tabacco and alcohol numbers combined.
As with everything, when you follow the money you can see the truth. The pharmaceutical industry and its influence is “too big to fail” which is probably why these numbers will not be published, and if they are the person publishing will be labeled a quack.
Heck...if you add the lives destroyed by prescription drugs there should be a war on big pharma instead of a war on drugs...it’s all misdirection..
