Sorry, it's a moral panic.

When I read comments like "just one Vicodin and you're addicted for life!", "nobody should take opioids" and "opioids are destroying our country" it's moral panic.

As for the number of overdose deaths, take a look at other countries that never saw the massive overprescribing of opioids like Canada. The deaths are due to synthetic opioids mostly coming from China.
