…Narcan?
*Actually decided to click through to the article for this one.
Since 2020, Griswold has made available at least $5 million in grant money for more physical security at election sites, which has allowed counties to take measures such as installing bulletproof glass or having Narcan on hand in case fentanyl is deployed as a chemical weapon.
I know fentanyl is the big scary drug of the decade but…is that something that happens? That sounds insane.
Whether it’s because of a silly reason or not, it’s never a bad idea to stock up on Narcan at events where lots of people will be present.
That is pretty insane. Opiates seem like they would make terrible chemical weapons.
Apparently the Narcan is “in case fentanyl is deployed as a chemical weapon.” How often does this happen? I can find one instance of Russia using aerosolized fentanyl against Chechen separatists during a hostage situation in 2002.
This doesn’t strike me as an especially efficient way to increase security.
It killed 150 of the hostages. Holy shit.
So it makes even less sense when you realize that it would have to be ingested or aerosolized to have meaningful effect.
As “famous” as it is for being absorbed through the skin, fentanyl can’t be easily absorbed through the skin- it takes a particular formulation and long exposures to it (ie skin patch,)
Thanks, Trump
So glad I early voted.
I’m grateful my state employs tracked mail-in voting, makes it easy, safe, and trackable.
