"My #PharmaFleece Award this month goes to Big Pharma companies like @PurduePharma for their role in igniting the opioid crisis. These companies flooded the nation with billions of deadly painkillers, falsely claiming they were less addictive & harmful than they knew them to be."

"You can read more of my thoughts on the litigation against these companies here:"
