I think you may not have all the information here. People are coming forward and testifying that their Purdue bosses instructed them to lie to insurers in order to get prescribed opioids paid for. There is evidence that they knowingly lied to doctors and patients telling them that fentanyl was safe and less addictive than many other lesser opioids. There is evidence that they knowingly increased pressure on sales even after it came to light that opioids were much more addictive and lethal than they thought. There is also evidence that the sacklers were heavily involved in all of this. I'd say yes, they definitely contributed to the epidemic in a large way.
