How? If Perdue said “this is basically a miracle pain killer. It carries risks.” and doctors said “k, my patients hate pain, I’ll prescribe it heavily!” that doesn’t sound like Perdue’s fault
- Causality1 5y agoPerdue paid them to look the other way. I'm equally guilty whether I trick someone into poisoning someone else or pay them to do it.

I think if you accept my rationalization above then that could leave open a remaining $5B that is owed by participating physicians.
