Disease Prevention and Health Reseach

when do you decide to get a fentanyl vaccine, before deciding to take fentanyl?

 

If I understand correctly, a lot of people are dying from fentanyl they never decided to take; they decided to take something else, and didn't know their supplier had adulterated it with fentanyl.

 

A vaccine is a substance that stimulates the body's immune system to protect against...a specific disease. I would suggest vaccine is not the correct word/definition as it applies here.

 

On the contrary:

vaccine noun

1 ...

2 : a preparation or immunotherapy that is used to stimulate the body's immune response against noninfectious substances, agents, or diseases [emphasis added]

 

Will add that the botulism vaccine is against the toxin, not the microbes making it. The vaccine is effective for decades, so botox for wrinkles ain't going to work later in life for those that had the vaccine.

 

i suppose then, if you're going to begin taking illicit drugs, you should get the vaccine first, in case someone decides to slip in some fentanyl

 

Hey...let's do a nation wide mandatory with Narcan then too. You never when someone might slip us a mickey.

 

There are also unintended exposures to people who don't knowingly take any illicit drugs. These are people who have no built-up resistance, thus most susceptible.
