Do you think he was bribed to do that?

But OxyContin has its place, like for terminally ill cancer patients, for people dealing with a lot of pain.

There's a reason why people should be available for those in need.

No, they were not.

In fact, the ads at the time from Purdue Pharma was that less than 1% of people would become addicted from this.

Literally, that was the number they gave, less than 1% of addiction rates.

Huh.

To try to wean them off?

Huh.

Wow.

I didn't know that.

Well, I've got something better for you.

It's called Oxycontin.

By the way, only 1% of the people get addicted to it.

And then it was fentanyl, too.

You know, when we investigated fentanyl, it started as a drug for terminal cancer patients.

Mm-hmm.

And we went after this one company called Subsys, where the guy, the head of that company called John Kapoor, was the first, and I believe only until this day, head of a pharmaceutical company to be charged and go to jail.

And we had a whistleblower in our investigation.

This was before he was arrested and found out and charged.
