The WORST Family in America!!! 🤬 (The Sackler Billionaire Clan & Opioid Crisis)
Channel: Footless Jo
Date: 2019-04-17

Welcome to the worst family in America - The Sacklers. The Sackler Family and Purdue Pharma are a massive part of what has caused and prolonged the opioid epidemic here in America - and it wasn't a mistake. 

Please do your own research to validate any statements made in this video. I am not a health care provider or professional - this is simply my opinion. The Sacklers continue to vigorously deny they are responsible for the opioid crisis.

Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.
