Seems like there is a lot of unwarranted criticism of this, and I think it is from a misunderstanding of how it would be used. This is meant to be a treatment targeted to people who are addicted to opioids. It would prevent overdose deaths due to heroin and pills which have unexpectedly large amounts of fentanyl (e.g. due to mistakes made when the supplier cut the drug). If taken in combination with proposed heroin and oxy vaccines, it could prevent many opioids from being effective - that could be a tool someone uses to help stop themselves from relapsing in the future. Someone taking this would have to way the benefits against the risks of not being able to take fentanyl when needed (e.g. for surgery).
