Can we stop calling things that aren't viruses and bacteria "epidemic"? There is nothing in fentanyl itself that makes it spread. Just like we don't have an anxiety or depression "epidemic", but many people are anxious and depressed. Ascribing agency to things, removes agency from the people (agents) who actually spread/sell that stuff.
