I don't believe it, I know it, because I read the news and don't shy away from its implications. Millions of lives were destroyed by the opioid epidemic, a crime which required the complicity and silence of almost all the institutions you cite. None of them have suffered any real consequences whatsoever. But hey, that's all in the past, I'm sure it's just crazy talk to think those same institutional imperatives could be creating any problems now.
