That's all wonderful, but we still had 107K people die of OD last year. In part because Biden let everyone in from Mexico.

- defrost 2y agoIn reality Biden did more about overdoses than Trump did - the rapid increase in overdoses occurred firmly within the first Trump term, and only slowed and levelled out in response to Biden policy changes. The raw CDC stats tell the story. The age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths did not significantly increase from 2021 (32.4) to 2022 (32.6). In contrast, rates have significantly increased in most previous years. From 2019 to 2020, the drug overdose death rate increased 31.0% from 21.6 to 28.3, which was the largest annual increase over the period 2002–2022. ~ https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/135849 https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/135849
