Data that doesn't reflect objective reality is by definition corrupted, but yes of course human-related financial corruption is a major factor- from the clinic to the corpotate pharm boardroom. How could it possibly not be a factor, given human nature? What other explaination would you propose for the scientific vetting of oxycontin?

Who funds your grants?

This is one possible interpretation, but there are many other possibilities.
Do they not cover the difference between subjective and objective reality in science and philosophy curriculum these days? Or how about psychology - did heuristics get covered at all in your studies?

Whether you can help yourself seems like a more pressing issue.

you already made up your mind apparently so i dont know why your here.
if you cant think of any possible reasons oxy was passed other then money then god help you (its not like oxy has any medical applications. ffs using your logic all painkillers are designed to make money. fuck me you probably think pharma likes cancer and wouldnt cure it if they could).
'drugs are bad m'kay' isnt an argument and neither is shameless appeals to conspiracy.

I find the argument made in the OP to be logical and persuasive.

Oxycontin is more addictive with similar efficacy compared to other opioids. Why do you think it was pushed, if not for the billions of usd profit?

This may provide some very valuable insight into the metaphysical nature of reality.
