About damn time we go after the ones prescribing the pills.

Dr Thomas Ballard & his entire clinic assuming they are tried & found guilty need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law! We commend CDCgov & DEA for this bust & arrests!

Dr Thomas Ballard III when tried & assuming he is found guilty deserves to be punished to the fullest extent of the law! Those of us who are ethical doctors & practice medicine above the standard of care commend law enforcement for catching these disgraceful health practitioners!

Arrest the govt officials who empowered them to do so then you’ll make common sense idiots

Don't stop there, the distributors, the manufacturers and the members of Congress that are protecting them. You can start with the members of Congress who voted for the Tom Marino Bill. The drug industry reportedly spent $105 million lobbying Congress on the Bill before passage.

Hope ya guys been hitting up the ethics book.
