#oxycontin — Public Fediverse posts

>> Nearly 140,000 people filed claims against the company for the harm they said its drugs caused. Fewer than half of them will get any compensation.

>> ... last November, a federal judge approved a new plan that would allow the payouts to start.

>> But this $7.4 billion bankruptcy plan — including $870 million that has been set aside for individual victims — will shut out tens of thousands of those who originally applied for a settlement, ProPublica and The Philadelphia Inquirer found. Fewer than half of those who filed claims against #Purdue will get any kind of help under the new plan, ...

So, I just finished reading DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver. It was utterly unputdownable, I got mad at my family for speaking to me while I was reading it, and when I read the final sentence and closed the book all I could say was "DAMN."

Highly recommend, y'all. HIGHEST OF HIGHLY.

The group of survivors – 75 people out of >82k who filed claims against the #BoyScouts – argued that #SCOTUS should have reopened the settlement in light of its decision last year in a similar legal dispute in involving #PurduePharma, the maker of the #opioid pain mediciation #OxyContin. In that case, a 5-4 majority rejected a bankruptcy agreement that would have shielded the #Sackler family from future lawsuits even though it made its fortune running the company.

#SCotUS suspended a $6B judgment against against the #Sackler family (whose company made #Oxycontin) in favor of the families of their victims.

To explain his vote to suspend the ruling, Justice #Gorsuch said (quote) "there may be a better deal on the horizon."

"Better deal" for *who*? Is that "horizon" a T**** reelection? 🤔

The #SupremeCourt blocked a controversial proposed Purdue #Pharma bankruptcy plan that would have provided billions to help address the nation’s #OpioidCrisis in exchange for protecting the #Sackler family from future lawsuits.

The closely watched fight involving the maker of #OxyContin is part of a national reckoning over the role of #drugmakers & others in the #PublicHealth opioid #addiction crisis.

In Nederland zitten we dan wel opgescheept met die geniepige farizeeër Sywert van Lienden, dat is helemaal niks vergeleken met de Sacklers. Die acteren echt in de Champions League van het crimineel schofterige gedrag."

> In 1996, when #PurduePharma introduced #OxyContin, the sales of the drug amounted to 48 million dollars. Four years later its sales had grown to 1.1 billion dollars, an increase of 2,192 per cent.2 The success of the #EastIndiaCompany’s drug-pushing programme was not quite as spectacular but it was astounding nonetheless. In the 101 years between 1729 and 1830, the Company’s #opium exports to China rose from 200 to 30,000 chests, a 14,900 per cent increase.

Publicis, qui vantait notamment les bienfaits du médicament anti douleur #OxyContin des laboratoires #PurduePharma, “est la première agence de publicité à être tenue responsable” de la surprescription d’opiacés, souligne le Wall Street Journal.
L’ensemble des États et territoires américains se partageront l’indemnisation, qui met fin aux poursuites à l’encontre de Publicis. La Californie recevra le montant le plus important (34 millions de dollars).
