First-of-its-kind fentanyl vaccine to prevent overdoses gears up for human trials
NY Post ^ | 1-3-25 | Melissa Rudy

A vaccine to protect against fentanyl’s deadly effects is headed for clinical trials in humans.

The vaccine, which showed positive results in studies of mice and rats, is designed to block fentanyl from entering the brain, blocking its effects and preventing overdoses.

If approved, it would become the first treatment to prevent overdoses of fentanyl, which is the leading cause of drug overdose death, statistics show.

This is different than treatments like naloxone, which reverse the effects after an overdose.

How it works The vaccine is designed to create antibodies against fentanyl, which keeps the drug from crossing the blood–brain barrier.

It contains a synthetic fragment of fentanyl attached to a protein called CRM197, along with dmLT, an immune-activating compound.

It may prevent other pan killers from working. Surgery and dental work won't be fun. Also, how do you force addicts to take it?

They’ll want to inject 5 year-olds with this to go to school

Because, you know, “we have to protect the public.”

precisely; I’ve had a few major surgeries the past few years, and the anesthitist in the OR would tell me, “this is fentanyl” (which is about the last thing I’d remember happening) If you are immune to fentanyl, what are they going to give you for big surgeries?

The definition of “vaccine” has really gone into the toilet, yes?

Methadone was supposed to end the Heroin problem.
Using drugs to fight other drugs is not a solution.

This is a really really very very dumb idea.

Making people immune to pain killers is a bad idea.

Illegal drug use is supposed to hurt. Stupid is supposed to hurt.

They pulled this trick with AIDS/HIV. They made a prophylactic AIDS pill you take to avoid the consequences of homosexualism.

Try as they might, God always has the last laugh. Take it to the bank.

Bad idea for drug addicts. Just like NARCAN it should NEVER be used on drug addicts. They get what they deserve and giving them NARCAN or a vaccine just lets them do it over and over.

God made homsexuals so he could laugh at them?

this is a stupid idea IMO, it does not get rid of the root issues.
