You could make the case that giving Tylenol to people in 3rd world countries is terrible, because they might only seek medical attention if they have a severe fever, and if they can take medicine to keep their fever down, they might not seek medical attention in time, and it might cause some more people to die. Or, you could see it as a super simple, potentially life-saving drug for people in 3rd world countries that die from a fever (and whatever is associated with that...dehydration, etc.) and that access to that medication saves more lives than it would take...
It's almost the same argument as narcan, yet the world has decided that over the counter access to Tylenol is something that should be a basic human right.
But wait! What if you don't have a professional to administer the narcan properly or in a proper dosage?!?
Well, same with Tylenol. It can cause really serious liver damage, and yet, the benefits outweigh the costs.
I would like to see Narcan be over the counter, handed out like lollipops to potential drug seekers at their doctor's office when they go in for a check up, or they go to the dentist for their messed up teeth, or they get released from jail for a drug charge, or they see a court mandated social worker for a drug issue...
It's a cheap drug. It will do more good than harm.
