The correlation of the fentanyl crisis plaguing our country now and contributing to countless deaths is directly contributed to Purdue Pharma, the oxy cartel, who started the opioid addiction crisis, which led to the sale of illicit heroin and other drugs with the same addictive properties as prescription synthetic heroin labeled as oxy cotton.
Imagine losing a loved one to a drug marketed as 'safe' and then discovering it was anything but. This episode of 'Fatal Facts of Fentanyl' introduces you to RAPP, Relatives Against Purdue Pharma, a determined activist group that has been fighting back against the pharmaceutical giant responsible for igniting the opioid crisis. Led by Ed Bisch, an IT worker turned crusader after his 18-year-old son Eddie died from OxyContin, RAPP has been relentless in their pursuit of justice and change.
Ed, known as the Godfather of the group, started this journey with his website, OxyKills, which became a rallying point for those affected by Purdue's deceitful practices. You'll hear about the threats faced by whistleblowers and the tireless efforts of activists who testified at hearings, supported whistleblower trials, and protested outside pharmaceutical-funded meetings.
The episode also delves into the Massachusetts lawsuit and the role of the Sackler family, shedding light on how their actions contributed to the opioid epidemic and the subsequent fentanyl crisis. This episode is not just a recount of events but a call to action for education and awareness. It’s a gripping listen for anyone looking to understand the roots of the opioid crisis and its devastating ripple effects.
