California Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered CalRx to buy thousands of doses of generic naloxone, the main reliable fentanyl antidote, and have them distributed by police, fire departments, hospitals, colleges, high schools and other qualifying organizations to people believed to be at risk of dying from fentanyl poisoning.For sure, Gov. Gavin Newsom believes his 2020 stay-home order at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic saved thousands of lives.
To be poisoned, you don’t need to visit Tijuana or other parts of Mexico where many drugs that require prescriptions are faked and can be easily bought. Thousands of people have died in California from taking fentanyl without knowing it, via smuggled-in pills and those actually made in American labs.
Most of the 5,942 persons who died of fentanyl poisoning in California between September 2021 and the same month in 2022, the last full year for which figures are available, had no idea they were ingesting fentanyl when they took it. This will be part of a previously announced program seeing CalRx buy generic and biosimilar drugs from makers of inexpensive insulin and other medications. The original goal was to move generic drug makers toward lowering prices not just for the state but for ordinary consumers.
