The proposal has support among some health officials, however, including Alaska’s chief medical officer. Dr. Anne Zink, who also serves as president of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, said in a statement that she welcomes his efforts to prevent overdoses, make access to treatment equitable and disrupt fentanyl trafficking.

Andy Ogles, a Tennessee Republican, rang out clearly: “It’s your fault!” One phrase in particular — “strong penalties to crack down on fentanyl trafficking” — drew applause in the House chamber but criticism from harm reduction advocates working to contain the crisis.
