Yes. When politicians spread disinformation, people die—and people die because of many reasons. It's delaying the emergency response that we so badly need in this crisis. We can't forget that over 42,000 people have died from overdoses, and disinformation that actually slows our response to saving the next 42,000 lives is really disappointing.
I would like to have the people who spread this disinformation—politicians, media, critics—be the ones who call the mothers of the dead, because I think if that was their responsibility and not my responsibility, they would really be focusing on the emergent nature here, on the actual evidence that we have around safe supply and other harm reduction interventions. I think it would be a lot harder to play politics with peoples' lives.
