During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money. When you serve coffee that is too hot to drink, it will take much longer for a person to drink their coffee, which means that McDonald’s will not have to give out as many free refills of coffee. This policy by the fast food chain is the reason the jury awarded $2.7 million dollars in punitive damages in the McDonald’s hot coffee case. Punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant for their inappropriate business practice.

You’re quoting “Hell’s Angel” which has been pretty thoroughly debunked as bullshit
You don't seem to know there is more than one kind of painkiller (US, land of the opioids, amirite?). India had banned oral opium, not for medical use; they didn't join the Metamozole banning stupidity until 2013, just in time for other countries to start legalizing it as a way to combat opioid addictions (coincidentally, the opioid epidemic in the US started about when Metamozole got banned… surely no relation).
Saint Mother Teresa, kept giving her patients acetaminophen, several orders less effective than any of the alternatives she had available.
Haven't read that, and don't plan on doing so. If what I'm saying, based on public sources, happens to match what's written in there, then you might want to revisit your definition of "pretty thoroughly debunked as bullshit".
