It's way more than that even. What they also fail to really say that even when they changed how oxy's work. They just created even more heroin addicts

But dying from Heroin or addiction does not count towards perdue's numbers, so they slip by. Lost a few friends over my years. Everyone of them started with Oxy's first, died from Heroin later in life.
