Hulu, Netflix, and Friends do not traffic in real controversy. You will get your Vaxxsick show when it becomes mainstream acceptable to attack Pfizer et. al for the vaccines.
It is mainstream-acceptable to care about the "opioid epidemic" and hold its progenitors responsible. It is still the province of racist homophobic Islamophobes to criticize vaccines.
Let the SADS travesty play out for a few more months, let a few lawsuits happen. When there's another rush to change jerseys in popular culture, you'll see this story told with the same breathless drama as the Purdue scumbags.
Mainstream TV shows and movies get made when arguments have basically already been settled in popular culture. Not before.
Funny thing. Six years ago I had a little household accident and ended up with five fractured bones in my foot, a sprained ankle and a split-open forehead. Spent the night in the emergency bay in the hospital, was given one of those dinosaur boots, had my forehead stitched up and was sent home with a prescription for Tramadol which I was strongly urged to fill, and did. Tramadol is regarded as the least-dangerous maybe-not-quite-real-opioid that one can take for pain.
I didn't take it at first, but by the second day I was in very serious pain, so I took it only at night so I could sleep.
But I don't like drugs; further, opioids may work on pain but do nothing for inflammation, and the dinosaur boot, throwing off my gait, was leading to inflammation, pain and swelling of the knee on the other leg. (First week I was told not to put weight on the fractured foot so used a walker and this was quite rough on the other leg leading to the inflammation and swelling.)
So I started taking, instead, the highest one-time dose of regular aspirin (325mg x 3) every six hours as label allows, and that was the magic trick.
I also sometimes get migraines and nothing, nothing, not even that aspirin regimen helped.
Until I discovered that extra-strength back-and-body aspirin 500mg x 2 did the trick perfectly. Note that's only a 25mg increase over the regular aspirin for the maximum one-time dose.
I'll bet pain-management doctors don't even think of experimenting with good old aspirin, because you know it might cause stomach bleeding, or something.
You gotta use common sense of your own because few professionals you encounter will have any. And it's not in the healthcare industry's interest to talk about the cheap reliable stuff.
I watched this last winter, and you're completely correct that it's the same people doing the same shit. "You're not REALLY addicted, you just need to double the dosage!"
I admire you for being able to watch that! Lol. I can't even look at any shows that have a "virus" or pharma theme anymore. The Last Ship, 12 Monkeys, Strain, and a HUGE list of these shows that have been pumped out to the public over the last decade shocks the heck outta me. I knew they were "conditioning shows" when they came out and would once in awhile check them out. But post 15 days to flatten the curve...nope. Never again. I see a mask, a shot, "virus" fear porn, pharma lauding or anything like it in a show, I instantly remove from watchlist, dislike and guard my brain from the absolute madness surrounding all of it. It keeps me from throwing things at my TV. 😅.
Just wait until you get to 'individualized dosing'. It's almost as good as 'breakthrough infection' and makes you ponder how man has survived on Earth for this long. Doctors all need their heads checked.

Glad to see you check this one out! Great write up, and you're absolutely correct.
