..." AMY GOODMAN: And they paid a settlement, Johnson & Johnson, of $230 million over its role in fueling the opioid crisis?
ALEX GIBNEY: Yes, they did.
AMY GOODMAN: But, of course, with all these companies, we’re talking about profits of billions.
ALEX GIBNEY: That’s correct. And also, in many cases, we’re talking about burying the evidence. In other words, the deal is almost always — and this is something we’ve got to look at as a country — the deal is almost always we’ll pay a fine, we won’t admit responsibility, and, most important of all, the evidence will never be seen.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, we want to thank you for being with us, Alex, Alex Gibney, Oscar-winning filmmaker. His latest film, the two-part HBO documentary titled The Crime of the Century, which traces the origins of the opioid epidemic and those who enabled it.
Next up, the remains of nine Indigenous children were buried Saturday by the Rosebud Sioux in South Dakota after being transferred back from the former Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, where the children were sent over a century ago after being ripped from their families. We’ll speak with Christopher Eagle Bear from a Native American youth council that helped bring them home. Stay with him."

Fauci and his cohorts belong in prison for this covid vaccine hoax, not to mention lots of democrats and republican politicians. I would like to see a printout of the investments that they have made a fortune on the backs of people who died from this poison in the stock market. Maybe prison is too good for them. I can think of a place that is a lot hotter for all eternity that would be a better place for them to end up.
