  2. So it went pretty quickly from “heroin is ruining our communities and it’s all Biden’s fault” to “let them die from OD’s.”

  3. It’s like republicans go out of their way to maximize misery, pain, and suffering in our society…

  4. He wants people to turn to spiritual healing. Probably to the worm god, as his parasite demands he proselytize its wriggly teachings.

  5. What could go wrong with appointing a conspiracy-theorist dope fiend to manage the country’s health and well-being? Perhaps countless people will die or be permanently disfigured by his troll policies based on things he found on 4chan posts or Infowars, but for those of us who won’t die an agonizing death from a preventable disease or live out our days in an iron lung, isn’t it worth it to be so healthy that every time we get a small cold it might end up being fatal like in the old days?

  6. > Despite his own history of overcoming heroin addiction, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is backing plans to end a federal Narcan distribution program credited with helping drive a steep drop in U.S. overdose deaths.

    > Speaking at the Illicit Drug Summit in Nashville on Thursday, Kennedy reflected on his personal struggle with addiction and emphasized the importance of community, treatment, and hope in solving the drug crisis

    what a fucking hypocrite

  7. They want addicts to die because they don’t view them as worthy members of their society. These people are depraved, they have twisted minds.

  8. Let’s be perfectly clear. These people either want us sick or on death’s door because it rakes in a profit for them.

  9. I’m sure he could afford Narcan if his brain worm ever developed an addiction.

  11. Not surprised. He praised his Herion usage in School.

  12. This administration doesn’t care about people. Not even you. Your discontent was just a tool to disenfranchise yourselves. Figure it out, rural Americans.

  14. So Trump blaming and tariffing Canada, China, and Mexico isn’t about fentanyl deaths cause then this is the most God damn stupid idea ever

  18. Because of his past heroin addiction.

    He hates this fact about himself and he wants to take it out on others. Just like anti-gay closeted politicians.

  19. Ah yes, another boomer who benefitted from something they’re now against and cutting for future generations.

    See: Mitch McConnell and polio

  20. This is not hypocrisy on his part. His position, stated clearly, is that **working** and **poor** addicts should die. The servants of rich addicts like him will have Narcan on tap in the mansion.

  21. What is the point of this. It saves lives. I don’t get it

  22. If “fuck you I got mine” was a person.

    They want more addicts because A, they want drug addicts to die because they don’t view them as people and B, they need addicts to exist because they need more scapegoats for their base to hate.

  23. Republicans want to kill as many Americans as possible. Check any of their policies.

  24. Christ. But all the republicans that were so concerned w lost of lives from the fentanyl crisis will have nothing to say on this.

    Cruelty is the point.

  25. I work at a substance use clinic.

    This is going to cost thousands of lives, you guys do not know how fucking critical this is.

    God. Fucking. Damn. It.

  26. I’m trained on Narcan. My city offered free training lessons and I figured it was something to do on a random weekend.

    The amount of drugs that are being laced are incredibly high. It’s so bad that the trainers are even working with restaurants and bars in the area to help them keep Narcan stocked behind the counters in case someone goes into an overdose while there.

    Why would they want to cut programs like this that quite literally are saving lives while waiting for EMS to arrive? This is as confusing as if someone said they wanted to remove all AEDs or fire extinguishers from public locations.

    Death is the driving factor here. They want more death.

  27. Trump wants more people to die from fentanyl overdoses so he can justify more draconian measures to “stop the flow of fentanyl into the country.” 

  29. Republicans are a genuine threat to this nation. Like it’s shocking that there’s a nationalist party that doesn’t seek popular support in the slightest. It just hates its own people and wants them dead.

  30. This is truly, truly evil. HE is evil. TRUMP is evil.

  32. Crazy that you got a fucking heroin addict (former or not) as the health secretary lmao

    Third World USA
