The text states there has been an 83% reduction in fentanyl deaths.

Infact verdict: Mostly False (27/100).

The claim of an 83% reduction in fentanyl deaths is not supported by the evidence. The sources indicate that 83% of overdose deaths involved fentanyl, not that there was an 83% reduction in such deaths. This suggests a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the data. No evidence supports the claim of a significant reduction in fentanyl-related deaths.
