Sacklers granted lifetime legal immunity in opioid settlement
I'm certainly willing to hate the Sacklers, but it should be remembered that they didn't work alone. Nor did Purdue. The FDA approved their drugs. The doctors prescribed them and the pharmacists filled these scripts. What they did was entirely legal. They filled out the forms. Got the government approval and worked within the system. It strikes me as a bit unfair for society to turn around, designate them as a scape goat and then ask them to pay for the sins of everyone.
