This might be the dumbest post I've seen from Adam Zivo.
People are dying from fentanyl. They weren't and aren't dying from safer supply programs.
And since we're apparently confusing correlation with causation, let me help out.
The drop in toxic drug deaths isn't because safer supply was restricted. It's because of years of work involving prevention, education, widespread naloxone distribution, supervised consumption sites, outreach workers, access to detox, treatment, recovery programs, and countless people keeping others alive long enough to get help.
You know... the very things many of the same critics spent years attacking.
It's almost as if reducing overdose deaths requires multiple interventions, not a single headline.
I hope this helps, Adam. Try not to pull a muscle from that stretch.
Harm reduction activists claimed that “safer supply” would save lives, yet, after access was severely restricted, overdose deaths in the province have plummeted.
