If WWIII starts and the nukes were to fly, no pill is going save anyone! If there's a nuclear detonation anywhere on the planet the radioactive elements/ash are propelled into the upper atmosphere. Where they go from there depends on wind and weather. For my purposes potassium iodide would be no protection at all from a 'local' nuclear blast. They are useful if fallout starts arriving from a blast (or blasts) somewhere else. Much like what happened in eastern Europe and Scandanavia after Chernobyl. Fun fact: to find a human body that does not have radioactive trace elements (origin nuclear detonation) in its bones, you have to exhume one that was buried before 1946. After that year, every body has acquired trace elements. Including ours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

70gto 142 Posted March 15, 2022 what kills me is only the rich old men and generals think a nuke war can be won. usually by striking first, no winners here. better idea let the powers that think this particular war is a great idea, get into a ring and duke it out b4 men have to die. War there is a time and place but I am not so sure this is the one to throw all the aces down. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In this area you'll be lucky to last two months. Just sayin'. Unless you are a person of substantial means, there is little prepping for armageddon and the apocalypse. Not that I think it will ever come to that. I hope. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob2222 316 Posted March 17, 2022 NJ nuclear targets from the NY Times (1985. Reagan-era. Remember how Reagan was going to start WW3? Not defeat the Soviet Union without firing a shot. Yeah, right!) https://www.nytimes.com/1985/11/24/nyregion/experts-list-potential-targets-for-bombing-in-nuclear-war.html Fort Monmouth hasn't been active for years -- but the blast radius from other targets like Earle overlaps. Other than the extreme northwestern corner of the state, the Pine Barrens and Cape May, the state looks pretty bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob2222 316 Posted March 17, 2022 "The FDA recommends that young adults (between the ages of 18 and 40 years) internally contaminated with (or likely to be internally contaminated with) radioactive iodine take the recommended dose of KI (potassium iodide). Young adults are less sensitive to the effects of radioactive iodine than are children." https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/emergencies/ki.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zelig 21 Posted March 17, 2022 Potassium iodide (KI) only prevents thyroid cancer, the most curable tumor. It's available OTC. It frequently causes allergic reactions. I am a pharmacist with advanced training, and practiced for many years, mostly as a cancer researcher. I volunteer as a first responder with my County Medical Reserve Corps and have taken FEMA trainings on nuclear events. New Jersey (and FEMA) are as well-prepared as possible, have stockpiled KI which would available. If you want to have it in advance, I would not use powder or crystals since doses are low and hard to measure.

How would you characterize a large organization whose agents show up around dawn with 20+ people in armored vehicles with full auto weapons drawn to arrest multiple individuals still in their pajamas, or in front of their children? Oh, and sometimes they even alert specific media to ensure coverage of their 'event'. And those arrested are always in opposition to the organizations command structure and policies. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's one reason why you would do this if you are the US. To Increase the price of natural gas and make a profit. The answer is to saying that's not a good explanation would naturally be... but greedy bankers!!!! There's about a hundred reasons you wouldn't do this if you are the US. The least of it is losing the midterms and presidency as inflation and fuel prices become the number one issue for voters. In there you also have the issue that it keeps inflation high. Which means even more interest rate hikes past the ~5% total the fed has been hinting at. These would be very bad for banker types, and they generally like having a predictable number to plan around even if that number is undesirable as an absolute. Another is that it strengthens Russia's negotiating position. For Russia, you get plausible deniability while increasing your non-nuclear options for forcing capitulation of NATO countries and crushing Ukrainian resistance by killing their support. Nobody will believe it, but they won't be able to prove anything sufficiently to justify escalation. This is the least stupid scenario, but it's still kind of stupid. The issue here is that we don't trust that are government isn't run by evil morons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
