You completely extinguish the patient (and population) safety issue over some mealy mouthed allusion to American Puritanism while completely just ignoring unaddressed the main counter that most other industrialized nations never matched the high level of opioid uses or its skyrocketing growth in the 90s.
which in addition to hawking a number of questionable co-opted concepts is literally stating the equivalent of “risk of death from automobile ejection is now super low these days therefore seatbelts must not be necessary”, which is ballsy to put out there (or not so much if you’re retired).
This and your wall also just completely ignores the diversion issue. Ibuprofen may have harms but no one is selling it for $20 a pill or more to people that end up dead.
