Fentanyl's fatal rise across America has been laid bare in a new Government report.
Overdose deaths involving the synthetic opioid more than tripled from 2016-2021, rising from 5.7 per 100,000 in 2016 to 21.6 in 2021.
The drug was responsible for killing 69,943 people in 2021, equivalent to roughly one American every eight minutes, making it more deadly than cancer, Covid and car accidents. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12042265/New-report-shows-fentanyl-deaths-spiked-280-2016.html
