  1. Like the #Chisso corporation and #MinamataDisease pattern:
    > The new company that emerges from the ashes of Purdue Pharma will be allowed to continue making and selling opioid products, including OxyContin.
    > But architects of this deal say future opioid profits will go to help fund drug treatment programs.
    > #PurduePharma itself will re-emerge from bankruptcy as a new company operated as a form of public trust corporation.

  2. > .. at the end of 1959, #Chisso’s president publicly drank a glass of water from the Cyclator, without announcing that the wastewater from the #acetaldehyde plant, which contained mercury, was not being run through the #Cyclator. An eerily similar performance took place on March 24, 2011 when #TokyoGovernor #IshiharaShintarō drank a glass of tap water on national television to “prove” that it was safe from #RadioactiveContamination.
