Another thing the cheerleaders of failure got wrong. Just so much winning.
Well done Mr. President
Amazing what having a secure border will do.
Who woulda thunk it?! A secure border, blowing up drug smugglers, snatching a narco dictator would save America lives?
Notice not a single one of our liberal friends have said a word about the good news. They rather follow Americans die than give President Trump any credit…think about that for a second.
it's a good thing but it isn't quite the dunk you probably think it is.
I give Trump credit for pressuring the Chinese to better control the precursor chemicals. That's a huge step. Great job everyone.
There are also other factors that also helped drop the death rate such as:
1. Greater availability and use of Narcan (for instance it is mandatory on site in our first aid kits)
2. The settlement funds from the Purdue Pharma case are starting to to make an impact with respect to treatment and prevention
And the Biggest:
3. Users have changed to different drugs or changed from injecting fentanyl to smoking it, which has a lower rate of overdose.
So, yes I think it's a good trend, but I'm not sure yet if there is another trend that is on the uptick that offsets fentanyl OD deaths.
