San Francisco had some of the strictest Covid lockdowns in the country yet their biggest killer last year was actually Fentanyl.

City Hall hands out nearly 4.5 million syringes a year to intravenous drug users in San Francisco.

A record 621 people died of Fentanyl overdoses in “progressive” San Francisco in 2020 compared to 173 Covid-19 deaths.

According to city data, people overdosing in San Francisco live in government-funded buildings for the homeless or low-income housing units. Many others died on sidewalks and parks around the city.

In 2019, approximately 70,000 Americans died of drug overdoses so there was a 30% increase in drug-related fatalities in 2020 – despite this shocking jump in drug overdoses, the Democrat-media complex will continue to claim the lockdowns saved lives.
