    China - 0, USA - 76,000 | How The CCP Is Using Fentanyl To Kill Our Children

    China - 0, USA - 76,000 | How The CCP Is Using Fentanyl To Kill Our Children

    #fentanyl #opioids #ccp
    In Episode 231, I invited Andrea Thomas, mother of Ashley who died of fentanyl poisoning, creator of Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, each August 21st and of Facing Fentanyl to join me once again. We discuss the findings of the China Select Committee on April 16th in the House of Representatives in DC and share the confirmation that the CCP is intentionally manufacturing fentanyl and shipping it through Mexico into the US killing 76,000 of our children in 2022.
    For perspective, according to National Archives, between 1955-1975, over 58,220 men and women were killed in the Vietnam War - a 20 year period.
    According to the FBI Crime Data Explorer, in 2022 covering 75% of the US population, 15,047 homicides were recorded by law enforcement agencies.
    It is estimated that in 2023 more than 100,000 young people in the US were killed by fentanyl in counterfeit pills or added to marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and other drugs with either partial or complete fentanyl.
    Pills that resemble Xanax, Oxycotin, Adderall, Percocet and others are killing our young people within minutes because all these are counterfeit pills and that person has no idea what is in them.
    Please, please educate yourself and your family. Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death among 18-45 year olds.

Kristina Driscoll ,

Love, love, love this podcast!

I have a teenage son and the series about Fentanyl overdoses has been so educational and helpful for my son and I . Mary is a very talented podcaster with really powerful advice and messages.

Back in charge mindset podcast

Insensitive

“Never would I have anticipated that such a violent China virus would affect so many and take so many lives around the world.” Direct quote from one of her podcasts. Very strange way to refer to covid in the context of a topic that I otherwise very much appreciate.
