The title does not seem to be supported by the article.
Title: “Fentanyl poisoning is the #1 killer for people ages 18-45”
TFA: “Drug Poisonings are a leading cause of death for Americans ages 18-45, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)… almost 70% of these deaths were caused by fentanyl and other synthetic opioids.”
Unless I'm mistaken, the article says drug overdoses is a leading cause of deaths in that category.
1) That's not THE leading, necessarily
2) only 70% of those drug cases were from fentanyl.
It's a hell of a drug and a hell of an epidemic, but if my reading is correct, let's keep headlines more accurate.
The first sentence says "Drug Poisonings are a leading cause of death for Americans ages 18-45, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)."

Something like 0.1% of fentanyl comes in with migrants entering illegally or seeking asylum
You are listening to dishonest and misinformed sources and repeating their disinfo with glee
edit: Your link doesn't counter that. Learn to read
