Axios: U.S. Surpassed 100,000 Overdose Deaths In 2021

The Joe Biden presidency is just smashing through all kinds of records.

Axios:

“More than 100,000 people died from drug overdoses in the U.S. in 2021, more than in any other year on record, according to provisional data released by the National Center for Health Statistics Wednesday.

Why it matters: The grim milestone, a 15% increase from overdose deaths in 2020, occurred during the coronavirus pandemic, which also killed over 415,000 in the country that year and almost 1 million in total so far. ,,,

The National Center for Health Statistics said at least 107,622 people died from overdoses in 2021, a major increase from the estimated 93,655 deaths in 2020.

Overdose deaths involving opioids increased from an estimated 70,029 in 2020 to 80,816 in 2021 …”

In case you were wondering, this was the trend:

Note: If these people were dying in Ukraine, our politicians would care about them.

  1. Think about this?

    It’s not just the Fed USA government that’s not concerned with this drug abuse issue!

    Mexico and Canada central government are as just as much psychopaths with no concern stopping the drug abuse!

    Stay safe my friends,

    Win

  2. Wow.

    It’s definitely horrific out in the real lands.

    As someone who by God’s grace survived this war I’m thankful it ended before fentanyl became ubiquitous because I wouldn’t be here.

    Meanwhile, the Democrat Party has fully transformed into the anti-populist/pro-war/pro-elitist/pro-censorship/pro-security state political party with ZERO votes against escalating the proxy war with Russia.

    Whatever the final judgement of MAGA/America First eventually becomes we all have seen this happen in real time and have seen a slow but actual transformation of the Republican Party away from neoconservatism.

    I still think it’s bad idea to vote for Republicans at this point because they need to lose more power to allow the new anti-neocon/populist wing to strengthen.

    Giving Republicans power at this point would strengthen and solidify the forces we are trying to destroy.

    There are still many wolves in sheeps clothing who talk the America First game for now but if the liberal internationalists gain full power once again these fence sitters will fraud and fold.

    Only more pain and pruning will uproot the disease and allow new life to emerge.

    • Everyone else: The patriarchy! Institutional racism! Racism! White privilege! White supremacy! etc

      White people: It’s all your fault.

      We need a new -ism: useful-idiotism.

      • linkIf White people embrace collectivism, like every minority group does, we win. Which is why they teach White people to reject any kind of collective action, while simultaneously attacking them collectively.

        Not long ago an egghead caught some flack for saying now that the stats show increasing numbers of non-whites are dying of drug overdoses, we have to take the problem more seriously.

    • Yeah, I am losing sympathy. Culling of the herd. This is the type of thing to be expected in a society as sick and deranged as ours is.

      • I tend to agree with you, Tikk-O. There are lots of people who don’t want any help, they just want to escape from their shitty lives through drug abuse. We cannot save everybody.

    • @Pilot,
      The best thing about drugs……….they kill drug addicts.
      The best thing about gangsters………..they kill other gangsters.
      With most negatives, there can be positives.

      • “best thing about drugs……….they kill drug addicts.”

        And destroy their families and ruin the lives of their children.

      • “best thing about gangsters………..they kill other gangsters.”

        Uh….stray bullets in gang shootouts kill more innocent than gang members, read LAtimes, Chicago trib.

    • “Natural Selection strikes again.”

      Remember that, when you are the victim of this decayed society, when the consequences strike you.

      • Arrian,
        Your compassion is misdirected.
        How many families are destroyed by a drug user who robbed their home or mugged their daughter for drug money? How many drug users kill innocent people when driving? How many ice addicts have gone beserko and beaten someone senseless or killed them?
        I was aware of what drugs could do in the 70’s when we were taught about them. We were taught they were addictive. So……how could anyone NOT know they’re addictive prior to taking them?
        There’s just SO no excuses!

        • >Your compassion is misdirected.

          No it isn’t — by parroting such views (‘natural selection’), you’re being a useful idiot — useful to the anti-white side.

          Here’s an exercise for you: compare the states with the highest manufacturing job losses over the last half century, with the states that today have the highest drug overdose rates — you’ll see that the overlap is striking.

          I guarantee you will not see Jews speaking about other Jews being expendable or not worth saving or compassion — neither will you see Asians, Hispanics, or maybe even generally Blacks, certainly not elite Blacks (albeit pleb Blacks are extremely violent toward each other).

          Both Kevin MacDonald (Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition: Evolutionary Origins, History, and Prospects for the Future) and Charles Murray (Coming Apart) have written about this problem among Whites.

          • “Here’s an exercise for you: compare the states with the highest manufacturing job losses over the last half century, with the states that today have the highest drug overdose rates — you’ll see that the overlap is striking.”

            I’d suspect part of the reason is also local control of these formerly industrialized areas by the democratic party that tolerates this a lot more than authorities in Red States. Nova had a whole special on weed and they featured a black doper with dreads using PTSD from Iraq as an excuse to get a medical marijuana card from Arizona. I’m sure he was told multiple times when applying and receiving the thing that it would not be valid out of state yet the dummy took his stash and drove to Alabama where the cops nailed his dreadlock wearing “arrest me” image for weed and gave him a lengthy prison sentence for less than an ounce. In a democrat area I’m sure the DA would have dropped the charges with some sort of diversion program in the era before we got these full on weed shops. This stuff is bad for people’s mental health, I see them get very angry once their brain chemistry is so messed up they get dependent on weed and enter withdrawal symptoms when they don’t get their chronic fix on schedule. Their emotions get all out of whack once the joint starts to wear off. And this new stuff stinks so strongly you don’t even need dogs anymore to detect it, I can smell it from 10 feet away on these black scoundrels sulking around Walmart with their “baby mama” in tow. It penetrates their clothing, hair, the bag in their pocket or whatever, they are like a dog going around that just had an encounter with a skunk.

            I wonder when the elites and celebrities will start falling from these counterfeit, fentanyl laced drugs in significant enough frequency they even they decide this can’t be tolerated anymore? Are these incidents being swept under the rug? Strange things like Carrie Fisher dying on a plane? Prince was one known example. Yes some people are more prone to addiction than others, but when pervasive enough drug use will become widespread and isn’t just “Darwin taking out the lowlifes” we are supposed to protect the vulnerable as well, not leave them to their own fate out of apathy. Same issue with this ridiculous proliferation of gambling, When I was younger it went on ONLY in Nevada and Atlantic City, now it’s everywhere. And this sports betting is going to draw in a whole new wave of men who would never waste their money in slots or casino card games. MLM pyramid schemes and fake for profit schools are two more areas of elite apathy to predation on the citizens, but of all these epidemics this fentanyl is in another league due to pure lethality.

          • @Nightowl

            >I wonder when …

            Honestly, I doubt it would make any difference — the elites who pushed through ‘free trade’ ignored for decades the costs, in both economic devastation and human immiseration, being paid for it — data on manufacturing job losses, falling living standards, rising poverty, increasing mental illness, drug abuse, etc was simply ignored — overdose deaths began rising noticeably in the 1990s, and have never stopped rising.

            linkTucker Carlson makes the valid point: Once elected, politicians don’t give a damn about the people they are elected to represent.

  3. Re: “If these people were dying in Ukraine, our politicians would care about them”:

    There is plenty of “recreational” drug use in Khazarkraine-Nudelmanland, and the U.S. doesn’t care how many die there either. The vast majority have no hope and this is their rebellion against the system.

    Re: “More than 100,000 people died from drug overdoses in the U.S. in 2021, more than in any other year on record (…) the coronavirus pandemic also killed over 415,000 in the country that year, and almost 1 million in total so far”:

    I appreciate linking the 100,000 overdose deaths to the over 1,000,000 Covid deaths. It is accurate, because they are both caused by the same rotten system that does not care for the health and lives of its “human resources.”

  5. ” If these people were dying in Ukraine, our politicians would care about them.”

    My thoughts as well.

  6. The (((Sackler))) family of Purdue Pharmacy has at least made a decent living off of this. Look on the bright side.

  7. Oh, please!!! Drug overdose deaths since the scamdemic/plandemic have vastly surpassed “covid only” deaths in the JewSA.

    Anyone still buying into the CDC’s and jewsmedia’s bullshit about almost one million deaths due to covid are useful idiots and NPCs.

    • You can reduce the official numbers of deaths by cancer and deaths by heart disease, etc. in the same way: by saying that most cancer deaths weren’t deaths by cancer ONLY, and most heart disease deaths weren’t deaths by heart disease ONLY, etc. However one million Covid deaths is known to be a gross undercount, since many thousands were missed in late 2019 – early 2020, when no testing was being done, and thousands more are being missed now. Anyone still pushing the “scamdemic/plandemic” anti-public health narrative, after more than one million proven fatalities from Covid in the U.S., is either dishonest, stupid (and capable of being misled) or seriously science education deficient.

      • The funniest thing now is watching western media try to concern troll China into giving up on their zero-covid policy. Propaganda outlets are all trying to say that zero-covid will ruin China’s economy. Meanwhile, infinity-covid USA is hitting the highest inflation ever and all of its markets are falling apart.

  8. Maybe the Taliban taking over Afghanistan will reduce the supply of opioids from reaching the JewSA.

    • The ((( cartel)))switched to synthetic and much more deadly fentanyl. They don’t need poppies.

  9. There are probably at least a dozen lives ruined for every one of these fatalities – family members, friends, victims of crimes these people may have committed, etc…

    Drugs are an enormous problem that hits White families harder than others and all of the copes about “just legalize it” or “these numbers are fake,” etc… are just copes.

    I’ve seen this curse ruining Whites everywhere I’ve ever lived or visited in America. We need zero tolerance and a religious-tier commitment to rejecting the drug culture. It’s been one of Big Jew’s greatest weapons and one of our greatest self-owns since at least the 1960’s.

    • The pill market, that was the racket being run by the Sacklers is no longer functioning to supply these drugs like they were even 10 years ago.

      Much of this is heroine and fentanyl now, which is being manufactured in Mexico using imported bulk components shipped from China to the cartels.

      The heroine supply is going to be cut severely by the Talibans retaking of Afghanistan, has already if my sources are accurate, and this will increase the prevalence of synthetic substitutes like fentanyl.

      Its far past time people woke up to the deliberate nature of this by China, and stop deflecting this to the Jews. Yes, the Sacklers were the problem. Thats done. They got off scott free and thats its own problem.

      There is an immediate problem that isn’t directly Jewish and it’s solution is the same as what’s needed to secure the border against illegal fence jumpers.

      A full military occupation and patrol of that border, directly overseen by local watchdog groups, state militias, to make sure its happening and our woke military isn’t just facilitating the invasion.

      Death sentence for drug dealers. Utter ruination for the family of any doctor caught running pill mills. It has to be punative and draconian. Obliterate the inner city gangs that move the stuff internally. Deport anybody who wasn’t here 5 years ago. I don’t care where. Send them to California.

  10. Its at least reasonable to assume some of these deaths would have eventually happened, as addiction is usually insidious in this way.

    However, the timing being what it is relative to the lockdowns and the total reshaping of society that occurred in the last couple years, it’s also reasonable to assume some of these deaths were a result of the ridiculous amounts of stress the last few years have placed on everybody. In that light, read the below.

    This is one of the people responsible. A shill for the British governments total bullshit narrative. We know the ones in our own government and closer to home. These people have done this intentionally and with Malice and must never be forgiven or allowed to forget their role.

    The downstream effects of this policy will change our lives for the worse in every way. Have done so more than the virus.

    Never forget. Never forgive. This crime will need answered in time.

  11. Check out the recent video, Kensington, Philadelphia, on the Soft White Underbelly channel on Youtube. Less than 7:00. Especially for those who think this country is still alive.
