Families Against Fentanyl (FAF) has released new statistics on synthetic opioid death rates and the results are startling. Fentanyl fatalities doubled in the U.S. regardless of age from 2019 to 2021. In just two years, they more than tripled among children ages 1 to 4, and increased nearly 4x among infants younger than one year, and children ages 5 to 14.

These numbers are worrisome however would be more beneficial to post the actual numbers as a 300% increase could be 1 to 4 or 100 to 400. Stats are easily manipulated for shock value.
