I haven’t got access to heroin. Any ideas?

Heroin is not especially dissimilar to other opioids and was used medically for a long time before falling out of favor for other opioids with marginally less addictive potential. Has to do with its ease of crossing the blood-brain barrier. Black-market heroin is markedly less safe due variability in purity and adulterants, as well as the absence of medical supervision compound with those factors to increase overdose risk.

Heroin is still used in some countries where they don’t have a lot of strong opioid options. It actually tends to agree with people better than even morphine at an equivalent dose.

Depends on the dose. Too much of it can cause inconveniences.

If vaccines were herion people would be a lot more receptive.

That’s actually a brilliant idea. Make a bersion that contains a low dose of an opiate for “injection pain” make it way lower then what someone who is addicted could get high off (that way people don’t want to steal vaccines).
I would get my flu shot every year haha.

Pretty sure that’s bloodletting.
…and yes, probably clueless about vaccination.

It’s literally a painting of Edward Jenner inventing vaccination…

Painter must have been stood there for an awfully long time.
Painter: Have you finished inventing the vaccine yet?
Edward: For the 1000th time just shut up and let me work, I’ll tell you once it done.

The event was 1796 and he was born 1877.
