- pessimizer 4y agoOpioid overdoses are typically due to overestimation of one's tolerance or underestimation of the strength of the drug being taken, and what you are responding to is a way that a weakened fentanyl effect could lead to that.
- elil17 4y agoYou could still OD, but it would not be a fentanyl OD, because the fentanyl in the drug would not be able to interact with the brain. If you took this vaccine, it seems like you would be just as likely to OD from heroin as you would from fentanyl+heroin.
- orblivion 4y agoYeah that did cross my mind. I wonder if it really blocks it at the same level that you're talking about.
- elil17 4y agoThat is part of the goal of the vaccines, but I don't think there is enough trial data to know yet.
