Vaccinated Against Vices?

Smoke Me A Kipper writes "The Independent is reporting that the latest UK government sponsored quango, charged with looking at the problems of drug abuse, is to recommend a national anti-addiction 'vaccination' scheme. Apparantly, trials are already in progress. No details as to whether it would be mandatory. Personally I find such an idea utterly shocking - what happens when you find yourself injured in later life and morphine based painkillers no longer work? I wouldn't be surprised to find existing phamaceutical companies excited by this, having to replace cheap drugs with something new, which they can patent and control."

...will those who are 'vaccinated' become physically ill every time someone plays Beethoven's No. 9?

Interesting idea. I would personally have myself vaccinated to become physically ill every time mainstream music plays.

It used to be an insult to say "you've been hiding upder a rock". But now, I think it's a comment. Screw civilization, it's been bastardized by those seeking to control it at the expense of the masses.

Yes siree bob...i'm finding me a BIG ROCK to hind under. But i'll still keep an eye out on the world for my own safety. ;)

What's really foul and unfair is the delivery method of the "anti-cocaine" vaccination in development:

This anti-drug medication is expected to be available to users within the next two years in the form of a nasal spray.

Is that poetry or what?

What's worse is that the anti-heroin vaccination has to be heated on a grubby tea spoon before being injected.
