Vanguard Blog: A premiere dedication

So how why is it that vanguard didn't even recognize the whole oil leek thing that's been going on? I mean it's great that they want to cover things like the inevitable flow of drugs into the US, but there are more important things going on...

Wow! This was very interesting and insightful! I love how it was captured, through the eyes of the people who were addicted too such an easy drug-addiction and yet the same people who were ashamed and lost loved ones because of what they were doing while talking about their close loved ones while doing the easy drug-addictions that cost them their loved ones.
It really showed how people were so selfish and just want to give up on everything.
It really shows how pathetic people are, willing to travel to a different state to spend about $700.00 on prescription drugs that are killing them and they're families.
This really needs to stop. They're the ones responsible for law changes, and more punishment on the rest of the Country. I think something drastic needs to happen that can't happen by little laws and regulations but by the people, the people that don't deserve to be responsible for our tax dollars to build you more jail cells, the younger generation to be apart of the aftershock to either clean up or fuse the pandemic of selfishness, our decisions to create and build rehab facilities (that don't work), when we can be using our time and creativity to produce art, music and technology.
Nothing seems or has to be fair anymore. We're giving in to easy, these are people who need attention so bad they have to kill themselves to get it, and we're giving them everything we got.
This needs to stop.

I watched the premiere on Hulu about a week ago. You have done a fantastic job! My friends and I are excited for next Wednesday to see the another stunning piece of journalism. Keep it up!

marianna, i have never been so blown away by anything before in my sad little life, ill be real with you, i cried at the end when todd's mom said he'd never recover with a straight face, thats about as real as anything can get, i live in broward county and i was oblivious to the gritty reality around me, you have opened up my eyes. i went on to rave about vanguard and the oxycontin express episode on facebook (lame i know) and its effect on me and hopefully on the masses. this is the type of show that deserves the attention of everyone and i cant tell you enough how damn relevant and important your episode and the show "vanguard" is to the future of the world, just look at the reaction firsthand youre getting just by pointing a camera straight into this ugly sore no one else will cover, from threats to being followed youre putting yourself into the front lines and at harms length, i admire the hell out of you and everyone else involved and i honestly believe you guys are singlehandedly progressing the concept of journalism. please, please stay safe and keep doing what youre doing, you have inspired me and i know in turn thousands others who will be captivated by the simplicity with which you capture the gritty reality we are so denied by the "news you can trust". thank you from the bottom of my heart. i look forward to seeing more of this from this network i am loving more and more everyday. and please DONT SELL OUT!! YOU HOLD THE TORCH TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE!!

UNBELIEVABLE, sadly it is actually very believable, considering the greed of the whole system. What is very interesting is the company that manufactures Oxycontin and similar drugs also has the market sewn up in the manufacture of laxatives. So this company gives you the shaft from both ends.

WOW! That was an eye opening episode! After having 3 friends die as a result of overdosing on OxyContin, I thought I knew about the pain medication problem. But you have told the whole story. Thank You!

I know a pain management doctor who would be more than willing to talk on camera about the epidemic. I'd be honored to add some input to your eye opening story!
Stay Human,
