Honestly blaming the drug manufacturers is also treating the symptom instead of the cause.

People turn to drugs to relieve pain. These people will still be in pain whether the fentanyl exists or not. You're not solving their problem by taking away their medicine.

And frankly there's also the issue that fentanyl is a spooky boogeyman that cops can have seizures over just by looking at and die from touching, so everyone treats it as if it exists only for killing people.

I inject people with fentanyl quite a bit. Several times per week.

It's a great medicine for use by paramedics.

I work in the cath lab. I go through dozens of fentanyl vials a day.
