RFK Jr says HHS is determined to avoid a ‘fourth wave’ of addiction

RFK Jr. says HHS is determined to avoid a “fourth wave” of addiction, calling the shops selling legal opioid 7-OH a “SINISTER, SINISTER, industry.”

Secretary Kennedy made it clear.

HHS will not sit back while Americans get hooked on gas station opioids marketed to kids.

“What we’re determined to do is to avert a fourth wave of addiction.”

He spoke personally about his own struggles:

“I became an addict because it was so available but I still had to go to Harlem, or I had to go the South Bronx, or I had to go to the Lower East Side....and now you can go to ANY gas station.”

Kennedy said he met with Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DEA, who showed him exactly where these synthetic opioids are being sold:

“They’re around military reservations in our country.”

“They’re putting them around schools, they’re putting them in our poorest neighborhoods and now they’re putting them in every gas station.”

“And they’re marketed for children. They’re gummy bears, they’re bright colors, they’re candy flavored.”

And then he dropped the hammer:

“This is really a SINISTER, SINISTER industry.”
