By preventing the euphoria in the user, I would assume that it also prevents or disables parts of the human body as well, whilst not affecting any physical dependancy whatsoever. To me, this "vaccine" (also a drug) doesn't seem as safe, nor as natural as cocaine or heroin itself, thats my two cents.
Am i the only one that this bothers? This is just taking another step to take away your free will. Sure it's only coke, heroin, and whatever else but that is just wrong. The child will have no choice whatsoever, and what else may happen to that part of his brain?! This is a disgrace IMO.
Ministers consider vaccination scheme. Heroin, cocaine and nicotine targeted
Children to get jabs against drug addiction
A radical scheme to vaccinate children against future drug addiction is being considered by ministers, The Independent on Sunday can reveal.
Under the plans, doctors would immunise children at risk of becoming smokers or drug users with an injection. The scheme could operate in a similar way to the current nationwide measles, mumps and rubella vaccination programme.
Childhood immunisation would provide adults with protection from the euphoria that is experienced by users, making drugs such as heroin and cocaine pointless to take. Such vaccinations are being developed by pharmaceutical companies and are due to hit the market within two years.
