Summary

Trump is no longer president, but Biden still has two health crises on his hands: COVID and opioids. Documentarian Alex Gibney, whose latest film Crime of the Century explores the opioid crisis and how (and who) is still killing Americans with them, shares the messed up reality to Jesse Cannon and Molly Jong-Fast on this bonus episode of The New Abnormal, including how Trump almost made it worse. Plus, he explains how doctors are complicit, too, and the reason big pharma is still getting away with using human beings as opioid guinea pigs.
