I think you might be conflating the concept of a mature, adult officer wearing gloves and handling a drug overdose patient with a child who might find a drug on the sidewalk and handle it unknowingly. Its a very different situation.
"death by fentanyl touch" is absolutely fox made up fearmongering to cover for shitty cops not rendering aid.
Tsing posted an article claiming a kid in San Fran OD'd from inadvertently touching fentanyl because there is just so much of it on the streets in San Fran.I thought it was suspect because when cops were claiming they were OD'ing from just touching fentanyl doctors said that was bull shit.
people claim all kinds of shit. Doctors are too nice so they just let them keep on believing whatever makes them feel good. It's in their ethos to be healers, not necessarily defend science and be confrontational to aggravate someone's healing process.
Cuddles can't see my posts. He hides behind the veil of ignore while occasionally clicking my posts to "coincidentally post on the same thing". Its really quite the schtick. All I'm saying to you is that it depends on what the child did when he/she encountered the drug. Picking it up and playing with it could definitely be problematic. I'm not defending cops or what they claim, that's never been anything I've said.
Right, doctors just want to heal. That's why they've told us to lock down, wear cloth masks, not go to school, why they said natural immunity wasn't as good as a trial vaccine, and all that. They just wanna heal! Doctors are just as political as any other occupation.
I only brought up the cops because of the similar claims they had to the kid,overdosing from just touching fentanyl.They claim they gave him narcan which didn't work than suddenly 20 minutes later the kid just wakes up,no mention of taking him to the hospital.No knock to you as you didn't make the story up as GWB would do but I think the people and their story is bullshit.
Could very well be. I didn't take offense. I'm all for questioning the story, and if its found to be false, outing the clowns who made it.
