A sign of the times? First human drug trial in US for a pill that reverses nuclear radiation poisoning
UK Daily Mail ^ | May 18, 2023 | Luke Andrews

The first human trial of a pill to reverse nuclear radiation poisoning has been launched in the United States.

In the trial, 42 participants will receive the drug — named HOPO 14-1 — as an oral pill in Plymouth, Michigan, and then be monitored to see how well it is absorbed and removed from the body.

If the trial is successful, the treatment could become available by 2024, according to the National Institute on Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is funding the research.

News of the trial comes amid heightened fears about nuclear war as Russia continues to issue threats about using nukes as it continues its war in Ukraine.

President Putin repeatedly threatened to deploy nuclear weapons in the early days of the war, while his supporters have called for nukes to be used to obliterate US allies such as the United Kingdom.

Do they make one that keeps you from being blown to smithereens in the initial blast? That’s the one I want to take.

We’re probably going to need it if war mongers like President Retard stay in office

If you think that a nuke war is coming, get some potassium iodine pills.

If it works, it helps make long duration space travel outside the Van Allen belts, by humans, feasible.

Yes, it’s a red pill that causes you to go live in the country and far away from a major city.

They could test it on some Fukushima survivors, if there are any left.

“… to reverse nuclear radiation poisoning…”

This is a lie. The drug only chelates the heavy, radioactive metals to help flush them out of the body but does nothing to treat the damage done by radiation.

Another example of the mix of poor command of English with low-level scientific knowledge.

If the trial is successful, the treatment could become available by 2024 and we can commence in a nuclear conflict with Russia or china. Is the Brooklyn bridge for sale? Don’t worry people of America we have the cure (don’t tell them its bullsh##)

Looking more and more like—if Putin doesn’t drop one Zelenskyy will build a dirty bomb and hit Russia with it (and say its a false flag attack) —If not the CIA or FBI will—Maybe drop it on Miralago and blame Russia. The Media will eat up the lie and we have, just like that, instant Nuke War. I believe that To get Trump the Gov. would gladly kill 10,000 MAGA People. I hope I am wrong.

They’re just testing its metabolism through the body - how the drug is filtered out.
