When the pharmaceutical company Insys Therapeutics was found guilty of killing lives and creating the opioid epidemic.

Those that believe in conventional medicine, often remark that it works because people nowadays are ‘living’ longer. Define ‘living’.

Yes it is true that people are living longer, and it’s also true that most people live out the last two or three decades of their life in physiological dysfunction. And healthcare is not the only problem. We have been inundated with toxins since we were born. But the irony is that conventional medicine has primarily made the causes of our health problems for the worse long-term and not for the better.

And we must never forget that we are dealing with a Big Mafia when it comes to the pharmaceutical companies. Here is a story which dates back to 2019, which is proof to you of how corrupt this industry is.

2019 was the year when 75-year-old billionaire founder and head of a leading drug manufacturer, that of Insys Therapeutics was found guilty by a Boston jury of defrauding insurance companies in the push to sell Subsys, a spray made from fentanyl, a synthetic opioid which is much stronger than morphine. He was also found guilty of bribing doctors to prescribe this dangerous painkiller to patients who did not need it, in the first criminal conviction of a pharma chief over the opioid epidemic. Four other Insys executives were also convicted.

“Subsys was approved for terminal cancer patients but the company targeted sales at a much bigger and more profitable market of people with non-life threatening chronic pain. Prosecutors said that fuelled the opioid epidemic and cost lives.”

At Insys, Kapoor was in charge of a marketing campaign that paid physicians over $1 million to give high dosages of Subsys to patients who didn’t need them. The doctors were paid to speak at educational seminars. The doctors were taken to bars and strip clubs by company sales representatives after the seminars, according to the prosecution, which were nothing more than social events at pricey New York restaurants. The jury at the time was shown spreadsheets by the prosecution detailing the payments made to doctors and the profit margin of the company for each bribe. In one case, the business paid two New York physicians who wrote prescriptions for Subsys totaling more than $6 million in 2014, almost $260,000. In order to obtain approval for payments for the fake diagnoses they provided to insurance companies, Insys employees also pretended to be doctors. A promotional rap video featuring Insys sales representatives dancing next to a big bottle of Subsys with the line, “I got new patients, and I got a lot of ’em,” was also played for the jury.

It was hoped that the convictions at the time would increase calls for the accountability of executives from other opioid manufacturers for an epidemic that had killed almost 400,000 people in a span of 20 years. States and cities sued drug manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies in hundreds of civil cases to recoup the costs of the epidemic on public coffers, from higher crime to addiction treatment and foster care for abandoned children. In order to resolve a lawsuit alleging that it improperly flooded the state with millions of opioid pills without following the right procedures, drug distributor McKesson had even agreed to pay $37 million to West Virginia.

Due to the company’s aggressive marketing, sales of Subsys had increased dramatically, from $14 million when the drug first hit the market in 2012 to almost half a billion dollars five years later.

Prosecutors claimed that because doctors “saw a huge payday that potentially put people’s lives in danger,” the kickback scheme was a contributing factor to the opioid epidemic. A former CEO of Insys stated in emails to the jury that certain physicians were “owned” by the company due to the quantity of Subsys they prescribed.

The prosecution claimed that the Insys executives put patients’ lives in danger out of greed.

“These individuals were employed. “It took advantage of their suffering,” US attorney Nathaniel Yeager informed the jury. “The money, the strategy, and the decisions all came from the top.”

Do you think things have changed from then? Wait and see until more truth about the corrupt pharmaceutical companies start coming out.

Wait and see until the truth about the deadly and experimental Covid-19 vaccines comes out. We will have a field day watching all those who manufactured them and advocated for them, together with the masterminds, be found guilty of treason and the worst crime in the history of mankiind.
