The story is of course terrible, my heart is squeezed with pity for those ordinary people who suffered from pain and started taking this drug, I feel sorry for the doctors who unknowingly prescribed the drug, wanting only to help alleviate this pain, with the best intentions. Dr. Finnix is a collective image. You sit and think how many such Finnicks there were, how many they prescribed oxy...
Richard Sackler is just disgusting, in the pursuit of profit, such people lose their human face, it's just scary to watch his reasoning. To push a deadly drug, to defend to the last and look for ways to increase sales, to fool people's heads... Horror, there are no words.
