Texas scientists create fentanyl vaccine

[Dallas Morning News] To combat the nation’s fentanyl epidemic, researchers at the University of Houston have created a fentanyl vaccine that could help prevent overdoses. They aim to test the vaccine in a human trial within the next year.

The vaccine will need FDA approval before people can use it. According to Johns Hopkins University, that process can take five to 15 years, and sometimes longer. The process can be sped up during a public health emergency where no alternate treatments exist. The first COVID-19 vaccines were created, tested and given emergency use authorization by the FDA in under a year.
I wonder who would authorize another 'public health emergency'?
In the published study, Haile’s team said the vaccine successfully produced antibodies against fentanyl in rats. The vaccine also blocked one of the effects of fentanyl: pain relief. Compared to unvaccinated rats, vaccinated rats also had decreased fentanyl levels in their brains when fentanyl was administered 20 weeks after their first vaccination.

"The effect was pretty incredible," Haile said. "I’ve never seen anything like this, ever."
Fentanyl antibodies? But other drugs are not affected. Pretty incredible, for sure!

#1 Chemists can come up with fentanyl analogues faster than they can invent vaccines to block them.

I'm sure Houston can provide plenty of guinea pig starting today. Pass it on to the EM teams for a go/no-go test. Probably can't kill many more than the Jab so far.

#3 A neurosurgeon I knew once told me he expected the day would come where all addiction impulses will be eradicable via a "gamma knife" type procedure.

He said it would probably come with an unanticipated downside but might be necessary for people who just can't help themselves.

#4 FDA will slow walk this, CDC will deride.

#5 The cynic in me still wonders if the whole fentanyl epidemic is the purposeful creation of the Davos crowd.

#6 /\ Same with the pandemic. How many of those foks are found lifeless upon landing aboard their Gulfstream IV's ?

Appears some in the upper strata either got the word or have some unique meds.
