DEA Speaks Out Amid Highest Fentanyl Death Rates Ever Seen.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has issued a warning about an increase in mass overdose occurrences involving fentanyl, a highly addictive and lethal drug that is killing Americans at a “unprecedented” pace across the country.

The DEA defines mass overdose incidents as three or more overdoses occurring in a short period of time in the same location.

DEA Administrator Anne Milgram said in a letter to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies on April 6 that there had been at least seven mass incidents since January in which 58 people had overdosed and 29 had died from fentanyl, a synthetic opioid first approved by the FDA to treat acute pain but now widely used as a recreational drug.

Many of the victims were unaware that they were swallowing fentanyl, according to Milgram, who highlighted that the overdoses occurred in areas including Colorado, Texas, Nebraska, and Florida.

On Jan. 28, ten people overdosed and nine died after taking crack cocaine laced with fentanyl, according to Milgram. In Washington, D.C., they were all on the same block.

On Feb. 20, six persons in a Commerce City, Colorado, apartment overdosed after swallowing what they thought was pure cocaine but was actually fentanyl. Five of the six people perished as a result of their actions.

In a separate incident, 21 persons overdosed on crack cocaine and methamphetamine laced with fentanyl at a homeless shelter in Austin, Texas on March 4. Three people perished as a result of this.

“Fentanyl is highly addictive, and it’s found in all 50 states,” Milgram said. “Drug traffickers are increasingly mixing it with other types of drugs—in powder and pill form—in order to increase addiction and entice repeat consumers.”

Such large instances occur as a result of drug dealers mislabeling their product as cocaine when it is actually fentanyl, causing unwitting customers to overdose.

Fentanyl is also being added into bogus prescription drugs such as OxyContin, Percocet, and Vicodin, which are used to treat moderate to severe pain and are extensively utilized by drug addicts, according to Milgram.

Fentanyl is said to be imported from China by Mexican cartels before being pressed into pills or mixed with other narcotics to increase its potency.

“This is creating a frightening trend where many overdose victims are dying after unknowingly ingesting fentanyl,” Milgram said, adding that the DEA is working to link mass fentanyl overdose events to the drug organizations responsible for an increase in domestic fentanyl supply.

“At an unprecedented rate, fentanyl is killing Americans,” Milgram said. “So far this year, there have been scores of overdoses and deaths due to multiple mass-overdose occurrences. By combining fentanyl with other illegal substances, drug traffickers are encouraging addiction and increasing revenues. Many overdose victims are unaware that they are swallowing lethal fentanyl until it is too late.”

According to preliminary data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, an estimated 105,752 persons died of drug overdoses in the 12-month period ending October 2021.

Synthetic opioids like fentanyl were responsible for around two-thirds of the deaths.

Meanwhile, a nonprofit group called Families Against Fentanyl found that overdoses from the drug were the leading cause of death in adults aged 18 to 45 in the United States in 2020, surpassing suicide, vehicle accidents, and gun violence, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The DEA’s latest warning builds on a public safety alert issued in September 2021 about the growing availability of fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills.

It cannot be stressed enough that our current administration has been intentionally worsening the circumstances on our southern border since Bidense first stepped foot into office. It goes without saying that the fentanyl epidemic is a by product of Biden’s intentional lack of initiative on our border. It is possibly one of the baseline responsibilities of being the president of the United States of America to protect our borders from foreign threats. And along comes sleepy joe, more worried about dictatorial COVID-19 legislature than the infiltration of our southern border. But we all know it’s a part of his game, compromising red states to gain votes. Biden doesn’t like it when you require ID to vote, he believes it’s racist. It all comes together, wrapped in a bow; Adding up to the worst display of public policy in American history. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.

Residents in bad condition struggled to get medical care in Shanghai due to the city’s rigorous COVID rules, which resulted in tragic incidents.

Shanghai has enacted the country’s largest city-wide lockdown since Wuhan in the face of a new wave of COVID-19 illnesses, as authorities scramble to cut off every chain of infection. Beginning March 28, the eastern Chinese port and financial hub will isolate 26 million citizens in two stages for obligatory mass-testing over a nine-day period.

As of March 26, Shanghai had designated 36 hospitals as special treatment sites for pandemic patients.

Insiders verified to The Epoch Times’ Chinese-language version that elderly citizens confined to their homes were in danger after being denied care by overburdened hospital staff, and that suicide attempts had happened in the area.

A resident of Pudong New District named Dong, whose father is a renal patient who requires dialysis three times a week, turned to Chinese social media for assistance.

“After four days without hemodialysis, my father’s feet had developed edema. High potassium levels in the blood can harm the heart, putting (my father’s) life in jeopardy, he told the Epoch Times on March 28.

“All of my demands have gone unanswered, but I can’t watch my father die at home,” Dong stated. His Monday post drew a lot of attention. After being refused by Shanghai East Hospital and Pudong Hospital, a netizen from Pudong said that his relative had gone a week without dialysis.

Despite the fact that dialysis is the most prevalent therapy for uremia, according to Dong, only one hospital in the Pudong district presently accepts patients in quarantine. Two additional people in his neighborhood are also in severe need of dialysis.

“Hundreds or thousands more patients on dialysis across Pudong,” he warned, fearing that a second COVID-19 outbreak will kill more people than those who died in the first.

By the time of publication, Dong had given another update, stating that his father will begin dialysis on March 29.

Meanwhile, a video leaked online shows an elderly citizen jumping off his apartment building in Shanghai’s Minhang area due to significant limitations on travel and movement.

Lin (pseudonym), a Shanghai resident from the same area, confirmed to the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times on March 28 that the guy who died following his fall was around 70 years old.

“I heard it was because of his poor health, that he was probably suffering from cancer and discomfort,” she stated, as a purported municipal committee denied him medication.

The accusation was dismissed by Chinese state media as a rumor. The Epoch Times attempted to contact local officials several times but received no response.

On March 27, Wang, a Pudong resident, told The Epoch Times that a 14-year-old girl leaped from her home in Pudong district’s Kangqiaozhen after testing positive for Covid.

During the interview, Wang stated, “Her mother cried almost to death.”

“People have gone through so many rounds of sweeping nucleic acid tests,” he said. “[Authorities] should consider what’s going on and figure out what’s causing it.” They suspended my account after I said it online.”

The new tragedy follows the death last week of a Shanghai nurse who died of an asthma attack after being turned away from her workplace. The emergency room was closed for disinfection due to COVID-19 rules, she was told.

On March 28, Shanghai set a new record of 4,477 new COVID-19 cases, according to government data, accounting for roughly two-thirds of the nationwide total.

There is a correlation that can be made between the Chinese Communist Party and the Centers For Disease Control. And that is the CCP underreports its numbers to hide the fact that there is obvious falsification of statistics used solely as an excuse to exercise the incomprehensible power that they hold over their people. Not long ago there was civil unrest running rampant through China, conveniently enough ‘Zero COVID’ policy seems to have quieted down all dissidents. 

As far as the CDC goes, they have to play at a different game; By over-reporting COVID-19 contraction and death statistics, they’re able to coerce citizens into believing that the situation is much more dire than it actually is. Why you might ask? Because we live in a free democratic society that doesn’t require us to cater to our governments every whim. We’re being lied to, it’s as simple as that. Once you come to terms with it, you may have a shot at seeing the next steps being taken by Klaus Schwab and his many neo-communist constituents. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.
