NBCNightlyNews I just watched a 19 yr old dying of cancer, her dying wish was to die AT HOME! BUT because of all the BS there is a national shortage of Fentanyl SO SHE HAD TO DIE IN HOSPITAL! This is disgraceful! Shame on CDCgov

NBCNightlyNews And yet they throw you out of pain management in Virginia if you take CBD to cut back on opiods. Nice eh? Even a trace of THC, a trace...gets you canned.

NBCNightlyNews Where does this stuff come from and how come so many people are dying from it? I can't even get 20 painkillers yet people are dropping like flies from fentanyl. If I can't get 20 vicodin, who the hell prescribes fentanyl?

NBCNightlyNews So it isn't prescription drugs! Yet I can't still get my doctor to give me painkillers for PAIN. It isn't opioids, it's fentanyl and heroin.

NBCNightlyNews synthetic opioids that if properly used are better than natural pain killers. This is both a crisis of drug abuse and 1st degree murder. It's not hippies turning on, it's a trillion dollar industry both legal and illegal. A 💊 for everything - sellers market.

NBCNightlyNews Many thanks for staying on this beat, jacobsoboroff.

NBCNightlyNews Oh boy.... that drug war is really working huh.... pass some more laws and see if that helps 🙄

NBCNightlyNews 3rd wave? When did the epidemic stablize or diminish? I’m curious as to what and when the CDC determined the 1st and 2nd waves. What criteria is used to determine these “waves”?

NBCNightlyNews

NBCNightlyNews Fentanyl is an antipsychotic drug and causes seizures. It is NOT a painkiller.

NBCNightlyNews who the hell takes 'fentanyl' ? that's just crazy!

NBCNightlyNews KellyAnne Conway is right on it, isn't she?

NBCNightlyNews Quick❗️Everybody in DC and NYC rush to a Sackler museum to “escape” from all the dismal news...

NBCNightlyNews a lot of that illegal fentanyl comes from China, I heard

U.S. hopes to send more experts to Congo as Ebola outbreak ragesThe CDC hopes to send more experts to Congo in the next few weeks to train personnel in the fight against a raging Ebola outbreak that has already killed nearly 600 people and is far from under control, the CDC director said Thursday. Shouldn't the experts already be there? One continent deals with Ebola, you'd think they would have experts in place by now. Trump won’t let them back in the country. Trump knows more about everything than everyone. He should go.
