Chinese: 在阿片类药物诉讼中支持 3 名药物经销商的法官规则

 Chinese:  在阿片类药物诉讼中支持 3 名药物经销商的法官规则

2022 年 7 月 5 日——联邦法官在一个具有里程碑意义的阿片类药物案件中作出有利于美国三大药品分销商的裁决,该案件指控这些公司在 8 年内在西弗吉尼亚州的某些地区分销 8100 万片药片,从而引发了健康危机。在这里裁决:https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/guide/narcotic-pain-medications

据美联社报道,在结束辩论近一年后,美国地方法官大卫法伯在长达 184 页的裁决中作出了裁决。卡贝尔县和西弗吉尼亚州亨廷顿市对 AmerisourceBergen Drug Co.、Cardinal Health Inc. 和 McKesson Corp. 提起诉讼。

“阿片类药物危机给卡贝尔县和亨廷顿市的市民造成了相当大的损失。虽然在这种情况下有一种自然的指责倾向,但他们必须根据事实和法律来决定,而不是基于同情,”费伯在裁决中写道。 >>https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/22078251/2022_7_04_faber-ruling.pdf<<

“鉴于法院的调查结果和结论,法院认为判决应该有利于被告,”他说。据《华盛顿邮报》报道,该决定打击了制药公司助长了阿片类药物危机的说法。在全国范围内,已经在地方和州一级提起了数千起诉讼,要求分销阿片类药物的制药公司赔偿。在这种情况下,卡贝尔县律师 Paul Farrell 辩称,经销商应该为向社区发送处方止痛药“海啸”而承担责任,并且公司的行为在阿片类药物成瘾严重的地区是不合理和鲁莽的,美联社报道。

但据《华盛顿邮报》报道,这些公司指出,医生开出的处方有所增加,沟通不畅,药品监管局设定的产品门槛也有所提高。 Faber 驳斥了这些论点,称分销商不对阿片类药物危机的后果负责。他说,原告没有证据表明这些公司在没有适当注册的情况下向实体分发了受控物质。

“原告未能证明在卡贝尔/亨廷顿分发的处方阿片类药物的数量是由于被告的不合理行为,”他写道。

尽管诉讼指控经销商制造了“公害”,但 Faber 表示,西弗吉尼亚州最高法院仅将公害法适用于干扰公共财产或资源的行为。他写道,将法律扩大到“涵盖阿片类药物的营销和销售不符合历史和传统的滋扰观念”。

他说,根据 UPI 的说法,“善意”开药的医生决定了药店从分销商那里订购的处方阿片类药物的数量。 >>https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2022/07/05/West-Virginia-opioid-case-ruling/4081656996819/<<

“经销商无法控制医生的医疗判断。他们看不到病人,也没有决定病人是否应该服用止痛药的任务,”费伯写道。 “充其量,分销商可以检测到分配器订单的增加,这些订单可能可以追溯到可能有意或无意违反医疗标准的医生。”

亨廷顿市市长史蒂夫威廉姆斯称这项裁决“对我们的城市和社区是一个打击,但即使面对逆境,我们也能保持韧性。”

他在一份声明中说:“我们市和县的公民不应该承担确保这种规模的流行病不再发生的主要责任。”

据邮报报道,原告的律师表示他们正在考虑上诉。

据美联社报道,原告在西弗吉尼亚州寻求超过 25 亿美元的减排努力,目的是减少过量服用、过量死亡和阿片类药物使用障碍患者的数量。

去年,卡贝尔县报告了 1,067 起对疑似用药过量的紧急响应,明显高于前 3 年,至少有 158 人死亡。今年到目前为止,该县有 93,000 名居民,报告了 358 次应急响应和 465 次急诊就诊。

据美联社报道,在单独但类似的诉讼中,西弗吉尼亚州在 2019 年与 McKesson 达成了 3700 万美元的和解协议,并在 2017 年与 Cardinal Health 达成了 2000 万美元的和解协议,与 AmerisourceBergen 达成了 1600 万美元的和解协议。

一如既往,保持安全
