RSN: Noam Chomsky: On the Death of the American Dream, OxyContin's 12-Hour Dosing Claim Attacked in Massive Investigation,



Good article about Purdue Pharma - Sackler family fraud that merely reaffirms the Big Pharma Fraud! 

Drug salesmen promoted oxycontin to doctors with the bogus claim that patients couldn't become addicted. 


The drugmaker’s statement also added that “the people at Purdue have dedicated themselves to helping address our nation’s opioid epidemic.”
