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.

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?
Like fentanyl? Buy this vaccine and party on! Maybe you won’t die. spit
Methadone was supposed to end the Heroin problem.
Using drugs to fight other drugs is not a solution.
Ok, this is stupid.
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.
I’m sure nothing can go wrong with this.....
Agree fentanyl is a blessing after surgery it helped me a lot.
If successful,
The CCP will be deeply saddened to hear this news.
“It may prevent other pan killers from working”
Please read your OP.
“Try as they might, God always has the last laugh.”
God made homsexuals so he could laugh at them?
No. God did not make homosexuals.
this is a stupid idea IMO, it does not get rid of the root issues.
Not the Bee?
Who created them?
Great. Take that stuff ... it will make surgery and recovery a lot more fun.
