Already had mine, and I’m pretty sure us and everyone else won’t need it. Good for business, though.
I’m taking Cesium Iodide, to be safe from both types of fallout.
It’s also wise to drink heavy water as protection against tritium and neutrons. /s
I hear that the best preventive is beer, served cold.
Ignorance and paranoia. What a comho.
Seriously unless you live within 100km of the plant this isn’t going to be a big deal. If you are that close, well then it is another matter.
Have them in every drawer in my house. 9/11 kinda put me in safety mode. Bet it’s all crazed Liberals stockpiling now.. kinda funny in a bent way.
In other news, over thirty thousand Americans were killed in traffic accidents last year.
Over one million worldwide.
Let’s see.... as I recall from my junior high days, a little potassium iodide, a little ammonia. Filter the precipitate and let it dry. Take crystals and put them where your sister is bound to step.
Sister crying, getting whomped on by Dad.
Darn. First I missed out not selling generators during Y2K, now this..

In 1910, the great fear was that the earth would pass through the tail of Halley’s Comet and cyanogen gas would kill everyone on the planet. Fail.
When I was a child in the early fifties, we lived west of the atomic proving grounds in New Mexico. The prevailing westerly wind regularly blew radioactivity right over us. We’d be playing in the snow and eating it when Mama would tap on the window and tell us to quit because they announced on the radio that the snow was radioactive. Of course, we kept playing in it.
Sometimes we got the word that our pasture, where our milk cows grazed, was contaminated. Other times we wouldn’t. Our parents did not keep the cattle off the pasture because we needed the milk, and the government directives did not emphasize the dangers of exposure.
I’m in my 70s, and a lot of people I grew up with have died of cancer, including my mother. My siblings and I have had thyroid nodules, some cancerous and others not. But we all have a fine sense of distrust of the government that didn’t care at all about our safety.
My 9/11 stock has lost some potency but is still effective and is gonna go to my kids and friend’s kids if comes to that.
Calmly but quickly go to your local health food store and buy up a bottle of Kelp capsules. We did it at lunch today. You take one a day and it will do the trick.
Americans requesting potassium iodine tablets should be given potassium cyanide in lieu. They are clearly to stupid to be allowed to continue living on this planet. I realize that this will reek havoc with Democrat/Communist/Union efforts to assemble the masses for mindless demonstrations against fiscal imperatives, but such is the price of improving the overall intelligence level of the species.
So if you have no thyroid what do they suggest?
Time to suck on that 12 gauge.
