Virginia Hall grew up in Maryland, learned several languages, and attended college in both America and Europe. She wanted work for the U.S. State Department, and maybe work her way up to diplomat. Instead she got a job in Turkey as a clerk. While there, she has a hunting accident in 1933 that destroyed her left foot. Gangrene forced the amputation of half her leg. That injury precluded her working for the State Department, as they only took able-bodied employees at the time. But Hall still wanted travel and adventure, so she went to France in 1939. She made contact with the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), which considered her potential as a spy.
Hall's work in occupied France became so legendary that the Gestapo looked for la dame qui boite, or "the lady with a limp." She escaped by walking through the Pyrenees Mountains to Spain alone, on a wooden prosthetic leg. But then she returned to France in disguise to continue her work!

Addiction can be treated only by relieving craving, not by making addiction more expensive. Raising the price of one's fix destroys the individual and societal goals.
Treatment of addiction by increasing in an appropriate fashion the brain levels of two neuro-transmitters,dopamine and serotonin, is available now in what is called the PURSOR protocol. Unfortunately, while it is cheap, not toxic and employs only natural substances, levodopa and 5-HTP, it makes not a penny for PHARMA or the experts. Since the same protocol also remits depression and anxiety, it must be vigorously stopped. I should know, they effectively stopped me ten years ago.

For christ's sake.. weather or not they're Vaccanated they're still addicts and need guidence and help...*forheadpalms*
Sounds like it builds up a resistance rather than curing the addiction.
