Bloodthirsty Pharmaceuticals

About This Novel

Pain is a get-rich-quick business in America. American pharmaceutical giant Purdue Pharma sells the oral sustained-release analgesic OxyContin in the name of pain. Since its launch in the 1990s, it has caused an unprecedented public health disaster in the United States. Today, 80% of drug addicts in the United States are related to OxyContin abuse, and the reason for their overdose was not to treat the disease in the first place. The Sackler family behind Purdue Pharma is good at selling pharmaceuticals and almost single-handedly started the "pain epidemic" in the United States. From "more patients taking OxyContin" to "each patient taking more OxyContin," the Sackler family has built a huge pharmaceutical empire. Doctors, pharmaceutical companies, scientists, regulatory agencies, and government officials are all drawn by huge profits and involved in a deadly business of "making drugs in the name of health." In 2019, approximately 840,000 people died due to OxyContin abuse in the United States; in 2020, 28 states and more than 600 cities in the United States jointly launched large-scale lawsuits; since then, this crisis has begun to come into the public eye. As a documentary observation of contemporary America, "Bloodthirsty Pharmaceuticals" deeply restores this crazy and thrilling disaster in the history of American pharmaceuticals.
