UK GOVERNMENT REVEALS PLANS TO VACCINATE CHILDREN AGAINST DRUGS
 Children may be ?vaccinated? against the effects of cocaine and other drugs in a plan recently revealed by the UK government, reports the well-regarded British newspaper, The Independent. The article explains that "Doctors would immunize children at risk of becoming smokers or drug users with an injection" and that the program would operate in a way similar to the "current nationwide measles, mumps and rubella vaccination programme." Further, the authors reveal that "such vaccinations are being developed by pharmaceutical companies and are due to hit the market within two years."

Earlier this month, the US-based Center for Cognitive Liberty & Ethics published a relevant and timely report, which addresses the imminent emergence of these same "pharmacotherapy" drugs into the US market. Among other well-documented information, the report notes that the US National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has allocated $12 million dollars to Xenova, the UK-based pharmaceutical company running trials on the "anti-cocaine" vaccine mentioned in the article.

The plan currently being researched and debated in the UK is therefore of concern to those monitoring trends in US drug policy. The CCLE's policy report, "Pharmacotherapy and the Future of the Drug War" is the first publication to address the ethical and legal dimensions of this new breed of pharmaceuticals. The report acknowledges potential benefits if these drugs are used voluntarily, but warns that coercive or compulsory use of such drugs to "immunize" drug abusers or "at risk" potential users would violate a number of legal rights and trample the fundamental human right to freedom of thought.

Richard Glen Boire, a legal scholar at the CCLE, believes that vaccinating children with "anti-drug" drugs would be "alarming and unlawful, and would signal the first time that neuropharmaceuticals were overtly used to enforce government policy."

Aside from the human rights concerns, the UK plan raises serious health questions regarding the long-term effects of these drugs on the complex neurochemistry of the brain.

The CCLE pharmacotherapy report directly addresses the potential legal and health consequences of US implementation of a compulsory "anti-drug" vaccination program, which now seems closer to reality than ever before in light of the UK government's recent announcement.

I cannot believe this.  I really had no idea it was getting this[/b] fanatical!!!  What the hell is the world coming to?  So, now they're trying to "fix" us before there's even a hint of a problem?!?!?!?!  Big Brother seems a lot bigger and badder and sicker[/b] than even George Orwell could have dreamed.  Sad, very sad...and scary, very scary!!

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with all other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.

Don't worry.  This will never come to the U.S.  Our government works very hard to keep us on drugs, so we don't care about the real issues, like how they are stealing our wealth.

We are such nice, compliant, happy slaves when we're on drugs.

The "War on Drugs" is false like our economy.  It is simply a tool for the "Big Snakes" to get all our money.

Civilized Slavery in America!!!!!!!

Professor David Nutt, a leading government drugs adviser who sits on the committee, told the IoS that anti-drug vaccines for children are likely to be among the panel's recommendations when it reports next March.

Ya' just can't make this shit up!

FDA approves new drug for alcoholism

The government approved the first new drug to treat alcohol abuse in a decade, a medicine called Campral that promises to help ward off
relapses.

"Exactly how Campral works isn't fully understood."

"In a study comparing Campral to a dummy pill, more of the people using Campral were continuously abstinent throughout their alcohol-abuse treatment, FDA said - although officials late Thursday couldn't provide the numbers to show how big the difference was."

So what's new?

New Index Measures Self-Control, Predicts Drug Abuse Vulnerability in Adolescent Boys


"...To measure emotion, for example, the researchers used the "difficult" temperament index from the Revised Dimensions of Temperament Survey. They measured behavior "undercontrol" using two diagnostic tools, the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children, as rated by the children's mothers, and the Disruptive Behavior Disorders Rating Scale, as measured by their teachers. A battery of neurological tests measured cognitive processes that depend on the prefrontal cortex. ..."
