THE OPIOID CRISIS: HOW PURDUE PHARMA BOUGHT 500,000 DEATHS
Episode 156 | Historical Events
In this History episode we focus on the opioid crisis — how Purdue Pharma told American doctors OxyContin wasn't addictive, suppressed the evidence that it was, and produced the worst drug epidemic in American history while the Sackler family extracted $11 billion from the company before it went bankrupt under the weight of more than 2,600 lawsuits.
More than 500,000 dead. No member of the Sackler family has ever been convicted of a crime.
