- OxyContin is a Jewish invention
- It was created by the Sackler family and marketed by their drug firm Purdue Pharma
- In 2007, Purdue Pharma had to pay a $600 million fine for “lying to doctors about the potential for patients to abuse OxyContin” [96] and thereby almost single-handedly igniting what is now being called the opioid crisis.
- The $600 million Purdue Pharma paid was a drop in the bucket compared to the billions OxyContin has earned for it since the drug was first approved by the FDA. The Sackler family alone has a net worth of $13 billion, which places them above the Rockefellers and the Mellons on the list of America’s richest families. [97]
- Purdue Pharma’s founder Arthur Sackler along with his brothers grew up in Brooklyn during the Depression as the child of Jewish immigrants
- In 1997, Arthur was posthumously inducted into the Medical Advertising Hall of Fame, and a citation praised his achievement in ‘bringing the full power of advertising and promotion to pharmaceutical marketing.
- Sackler was, in other words, a drug dealer who knew how to change the system to accommodate what was previously known as either unethical or illegal activity
