How The Sackler Family Profited Off Lies & Addiction

In 'Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty,' author Patrick Radden Keefe exposes how the Sackler family of Purdue Pharma infamy made money off selling the addictive painkiller, OxyContin, despite knowing the medical risks to patients.
As opioid addictions, overdoses, and deaths swept the country, the company continued to push opioid pain prescriptions.
Keefe joined Jim Braude to discuss.

I just eant to say that my son is not in a nursing g home, he al.ost ended up in one. He's very lucky he wasn't unconscious longer.

The bankruptcy appeal was overturned and they walked last week with $11B and civil immunity forever.

[@derrickforeal]

I tried alerting news media medical boards in 1997. I was put on it, got addicted and put myslef through hell getting off of 160mg a day. Nobody wanted to listen. Fda needs to be held liable too.

[@riedas1741]

You are absolutely right. I can not even believe how one single person inside the FDA was able to grant a label that was obviously and dangerously misleading, only to get a high paid job at Perdue. The mistake is deep in our western system and it is shocking to see how untouchable such people are. God bless you and your family. I hope oxy will never return in your live

[@HigherQualityUploads]

Since they're so concerned with their legacy, I'd like to see "sackle" become a verb. It should mean "to lie", or "to defraud." And "sackler" should be a noun meaning "liar."

[@carlosgarcia-jz3dq]

Now I'll go watch an episode of COPS where they arrest someone for dealing in an oz of marijuana and give him a 2 year prison sentence, America justice is the crime here

[@mc97635]

This is America in all it‘s glory. Money buys everything and everyone

[@kungfumind.]

They walked away with all their wealth, boats, castles, etc. Criminalization of drugs is clearly a poor man's game

#1 IN CENSOR OF TRUTH!!!

[@janarn6887]

Absolutely disgusting and criminal !!! When I saw through this shit in 2011 and how all this went down, as a nurse, no one listened or believed me …. It was insinuated (like now when anyone questions shit anywhere but especially in healthcare) I was kind of being a conspiracy theorist !!! Unbelievable!!

[@jordaneglis7380]

I have a feeling this will be the outcome with the vaccine, accept with a-lot of “random” health problems, not addiction and death

[@jacquelinemanzano9328]

Jana RN; when someone calls you a conspiracy theorist they are saying that to dismiss what you are saying as truth. Brainwashed people will always oppose that which they refuse to wake up to.

[@jennifercohen1879]

Jews don’t pay for their crimes everybody else does

[@waystadtymphyndir7079]

There punishment should be to literally take there own medication. Ramp them up to 160mg and then let them feel the effects once the years to get off it.

[@ME-xl7iu]

Companies want to be treated like individuals but never go to jail like individuals. Pretty disgusting

[@viskovandermerwe3947]

Arthur, Mortimer, and Raymond Sackler, the three children of Jewish immigrants from Galicia and Poland, grew up in Brooklyn in the 1930s.

Faces of Evil in its purest form.

[@TheOriginalFoxtrotCharlie]

Thank you. This was so educational, I'm in Australia and I know of this wicked family. I watch another youtube channel as well called 'The Life Boat' that really focuses on educating people on drugs and living happily in sobriety. Recently they did a great show about the history of this freakin psychotic family! I learnt a lot. They'll have more shows about it. They have a live stream at 5pm (USA Pacific Time) everyday except Wed and Thurs. There is a live chat. Its a great non judgemental place and they are extremely knowledgable with topics to do with addiction, drugs and sobriety. This channel and other ones like this are really needed to educate people about this hideously evil family. Thank you again for your video. Please be safe everyone.

[@Mark-tb1zq]

And not one of the family members will go to jail.

[@jacquelinemanzano9328]

They are immune from prosecution, because they buy their way out.

[@jjvv7578]

They are of the chosen people.

[@BurkeCN74]

His statement " the cancer pain market". Initalialy pissed me off! But ya, I've lost a sister to cancer, so I'm thankful that drugs are out there to ease real pain. But a sore lower back doesn't need an opiate prescription!

✡️ the Sackler family is Jewish. Most censors cover up similar things in western culture.

[@DanielleA2023]

Before 2008 they siphoned millions per year from their company,after 2008? They siphoned billions from the company. They are a foul, revolting family of psychopaths.

[@thierrynolevaux9268]

The family should get a taste of their own medicine. That would be justice.

[@janarn6887]

YES!!!! If only we could watch it all go down, too !!!!! Give Em a taste many times a day for several days then…… take it all away !! Every single family member too !!

[@michaelsinclair8733]

Yeah kidnap their asses, shove the highest doses of Oxy down their throats, let them enjoy the buzz, and when they get that blood thirsty craving for the drug, don't let them have it. And when they're going thru the withdrawals they should be locked in a nicely lit cold concrete box. If you want to give them a dose of their own medicine. Give them a heavy. I'm sure if they felt what they put hard working people thru, I'm sure maybe one of them will regret their actions.

[@michelebella677]

I’d like to watch every one of the family members go through constant and continuous opiate withdrawal for the rest of their life. That would be justice. It’s been what my life for the past 20 years has been about because of this drug. They should feel exactly what they put their buyers have gone through.

[@jacquelinemanzano9328]

Give each of their family member a few shots of heroin, once they are hooked, Give them a prescription of Oxycodone to kick the heroin habit, when they die of an overdose, bury them in the prison grave yard, with the headstones reading Exhibit A, Exhibit B etc.

[@robertafierro5592]

What an appropriate title!

[@davidyeo8530]

Unfortunately they have so much money they can pay off who ever they wont to, police, state attorney, Judges, politicians

[@MrMonero]

I won’t write here my true thoughts on them. I will likely be banned from YT and arrested.

[@faithfamilyfriendsforever6777]

I sell 1 oxy and do time in jaill yet thay sell millions and get rich🤬

Your not a jew, that’s the problem

[@street_cheeks]

confiscate the wealth and hard jail time.

[@pablostrongy8657]

[@MegaSacred123]

Then their assets should be seized and go toward the homeless drug addicts nationwide.

[@marthapopova8084]

The Bible talks about these types of scenarios. Their grandchildren will pay the consequences.

[@theavenger3363]

Aside from the patients who genuinely need this medication, this opioid crisis speaks to the wider problem of addiction in the U.S. You have to ask why do so many ‘normal’ people become addicts?

[@brendabertsch9352]

I have had 41 extreme surgeries in the last 8 years. I was offered this drug but wouldn't have it, even though 10 of my surgeries were cancer. The pain Drs would insist that I take this drug or nothing, they are no longer in business! Any opioid pain medication is innately addictive. I take less than what I am prescribed and will periodically go a few days without the meds. But I have known people who will snort 5 pills an hour. Not to let the Sacklers and the Drs off the hook but you must protect yourself. I've learned that I can spot a drug pushing Dr by sitting back and watching them and by the way they respond to my questions. Please, take more care of yourself than your Drs do.

[@OO-nb2kt]

Hahahahah in the US, drug lords can go bankrupt, everywhere else they go to jail hahahahha god bless America!

[@donaldallison8287]

what started with the addiction to China by the English has been without a doubt the greatest information about the miss treatment for the people who suffer from pain, but more importantly can use a opium based drug and not become an active drug secure in the field of poppies. 1st of all things is the oxicontin doesn't work for me, Researching the drug leads to my observation that only one analog is used in the process.

[@deloresboudreaux2755]

Right, their names should not be worthy of titling a building.
