“The cure can not be worse than the disease. “

CAUSE and EFFECT: MENTAL ILLNESS is the REAL Pandemic. FUNCTIONAL Mental DISORDER or NEUROSIS is the EFFECT of CHRONIC DISTRESS. CHRONIC DISTRESS is the EFFECT of CONSTANT COERCION. 'DO AS I SAY! OR ELSE!' That's COERCION. COERCION is the CAUSE.

Alas, Christie and Kushner have this one covered- See March 29, 2017 -

Yeah... people are KILLING THEMSELVES because of LOCKDOWNS. LockdownsKill.

They go hand-in-hand. Get back to normal life.

This opioid epidemic grew out of control under Obama. Obama lied, people died

And let’s not forget the sacklers who got rich off these drugs.

The cure is worse than the disease.

How many overdoses has Cannabis caused? 🧐

Where’s the Trump Administration? All talk!!! No real action,

Thank you, realJeffreyLord realDonaldTrump

CDC aided&embedded in this overdose estimate, with their falsified numbers for deaths and testing&their recommendations &projected graphs for covid19. They continue to aid&embed with their agenda. What has happened to our country's economics to health, is on them exponentially.

🇺🇲 Doctors love prescribing pain killers & anything else that gets them commision pay-outs. What doctors dont give, China supplies for the streets. It's the same in Canada on a lesser scale.

Just wait until mid november...I already have my fatal shot of “fukitol” shot ready for when trump “wins”

That and the flu will equal one normal season of covid. Why is covid being tracked in a whole and not by seasons

Jail his ass like other people who break quarantine

The upside of the story is - they were all wearing masks and self-quarantined.

Fertiliser.

And Democrats want to let criminal drug addicts out of jail to attack your family.

Locked Down, Overdose.

Yeah but how we gonna blame trump for them?

People are sad during plagues. You know avoiding another lockdown leads to even more death and pain. Don’t start with me, it’s simple math.

JimLucas0311 TorrJer RainwaterForIN LibertarianIndy Jorgensen4POTUS RealSpikeCohen We need cannabis for all Americans

With the help of MR_fred_wilson I was able to up my business back, I was afraid that I would lost but he transferred my $2000 into huge capital 😇

And I bet the average age isn't 80 yrs old

It’s is a disease... regardless of any other factors

Probably from prescription drugs.

Don’t trust cdc ... wrong all the time

Duh

All because of States run by DUMMYCRATS.

And I do not blame JoeBiden or Hunter...as he did not choose his dad, but his father is still here

But hey, let’s elect JoeBiden and lock that shit down again. These deaths don’t count cause they ain’t COVID19

Joe Biden’s starting a voter fraud program, plagiarizes Trump COVID program, said he’s killing oil&gas killing businesses & millions jobs, said no drug crimes merit jail! Biden offers depression & mob rule given defunding/less police & no cash bail

The media and the CDC need to expose medical malpractice deaths. 250,000 to 440,000 every year. Third leading cause of death for Americans, yet you won’t hear about it. Why‽

Theresaluvshoe China is at war with the US by shipping these opioids into the US, and a puppet of theirs is the Democrat nominee for president. This will get worse if Biden is elected.

COVID19 - China Fentanyl - China Fentanyl 10x more addictive then heroin. Dealers use it to cut meth and cocaine. Mr. Floyd had meth cut with fentanyl. Perfect weapon of war against our Citizens with all the denialbilty. Permanently disabled and forever a burden to society.

Lockdowns are bearing fruit.

But but but Melania supposed to be working on this

🥺😢🙏

They'll blame Trump..

Then open up the damn country.

Flu?

Why?

More of a reason to legalize marijuana.

If everyone wears a mask, they won't be able to swallow pills. Science.

Fauci: “I can’t think of [another reason for] these excess deaths.”

huntersfootjob

CDC needs to put out a mask mandate to prevent the spread of Covid sand deaths since trump won’t do it

Try that about 1/3 of all Covid deaths...

More lockdowns!!

Big Pharma is an industry FULL of perverse incentives to push medicine that people don't need. The whole system needs to be reformed and opioids should only be prescribed when absolutely nothing else would work.

Thats an overdose death every seven and a half minutes........

yeah i agree life isn’t that great but don’t do that i guess.

This is because of republicans and their support for big pharma mainly MarshaBlackburn ! This is on all of you!

Let’s mandate masks to counter

Caused by shutdowns and isolation - thanks to the scientists

Thank you Fauci and Democrats

Heartbreaking this If only we could stop the neurolo cycle so all addictions could be “cured” rather than managed.

So many non violent prisoners were released from jail due to COVID19. Many had addiction issues that could not be treated bc of early release and overcrowded rehab facilities. No insurance. No advocates. No resources. Many are now dead. My family lost one. It’s heartbreaking

Speaking of taking a backseat, how about some coverage of Turkey’s war crimes

Don’t blame the drugs! Blame Trump for the COVID in the first place!

Why isn't trump giving it more attention? Oh wait... he's too busy tweeting lies like a deranged mad man.

The people 'laughing' at this are seriously demented....

olivierserge Because of lockdowns.

So sad 😭💔.

Big pharma need to be held accountable

Prayers!

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Trump rally ‘VIP’ among six Chinese nationals charged with drug money launderingA Chinese national whose Instagram page features pictures of him wearing a VIP pass at a 2018 rally for Pres. Trump, is now on US soil after being charged with conspiring to distribute cocaine and laundering the illicit funds, according to court documents. Interesting, very interesting. I bet the NY POST won't mention a word about this. This paper is just Fox News of the newspaper world. The Russians are coming and they are us, Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Moscow Mitch, and Rudy Guiliani in goose step with President Putin, their Insurgency Commander. Republican Senator Ben Sasse exposes Trump at this link. Criminality, corruption and financial shenanigans. Of course he’s associated with trump.
