During the visit, the conditions the prisoners are held in the prisons of the Zionist Occupation were reviewed. This assessment included the conditions the prisoners are forced to suffer during home-detention. Yasser Al-Moazin gave an account of the conditions of his arrest, his exposure to disease, his suffering in the Zionist prisons until his release and exile to Gaza. His further exile to Syria, and finally to Lebanon. We also discussed the health conditions he is going through now – which led to the amputation of his legs.

CHEAP, ABUNDANT STREET DRUGS

Fentanyl and its derivatives sufentanil, alfentanil and remifentanil are all synthetic phenypiperidine drugs, which are synthetic opioid receptor agonists.

A painkiller for countless patients, fentanyl has many side effects. The drug has gradually become a menace to social security across the United States, a society long plagued by opioid addiction and abuse.

Statistics by the Council on Foreign Relations in April indicated that opioids, primarily fentanyl, are the leading cause of U.S. overdose deaths, which have roughly quadrupled over the last ten years for which data is fully available. In 2021, the death toll surged to 80,411, more than 10 times the number of U.S. military service members killed in the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There have been three waves of opioid abuse in U.S. society, with fentanyl being the “main character” of the third wave.

And then he left without a fuss –
Now – only sadness remains.

The article quoted Hubert Humphrey, an American pharmacist and politician who served as the 38th vice president of the United States from 1965 to 1969, as saying that “the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children, those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly, those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.”

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, firearms take the lives of 5.6 out of every 100,000 American children between ages 3 and 18. “No other developed nation is even close,” said the report.

“Our record on COVID response is similarly dismal. Ranked first among 177 nations in our capacity to respond to a pandemic in November 2019, on the eve of the pandemic, the United States ranks last among wealthy nations and close to last among all nations in our infection and fatality rates,” it added.

China: Medical Experts Stress the Use of “Science” in Seeking COVID-19 Origins! (4.4.2023)

“The data have neither been removed nor deleted since they were added. In accordance with the usual practice of publication, and by agreement with the journal and GISAID, the data are released simultaneously with formal publication, but the link to access the data for journal review has always existed,” the scientists wrote.

However, they stressed that all these data only showed that the market acted as “an early amplifier during the pandemic due to the high number of consumers every day, resulting in many of the initially identified infection clusters”.

“The origin of the virus involving animal-to-human transmission cannot be determined based on current data,” they wrote.

The researchers said that hypotheses and conclusions presented in the report released by the WHO in March 2021 are both scientific and objective.

They added that tracing the origins of the virus is a scientific issue that requires scientific evidence and logical inference. Determining the origins of the novel coronavirus may still be a long way off.
