As part of long-standing, ongoing efforts to be better prepared to save lives following radiological and nuclear emergencies, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is purchasing a supply of the drug Nplate from Amgen USA Inc; Nplate is approved to treat blood cell injuries that accompany acute radiation syndrome in adult and pediatric patients (ARS).
Amgen, based in Thousands Oaks, California, developed Nplate for ARS with support from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the HHS Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), as well as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health.
BARDA is using its authority provided under the 2004 Project Bioshield Act and $290 million in Project BioShield designated funding to purchase this supply of the drug. Amgen will maintain this supply in vendor-managed inventory. This approach decreases life-cycle management costs for taxpayers because doses that near expiration can be rotated into the commercial market for rapid use prior to expiry and new doses can be added to the government supply.
ARS, also known as radiation sickness, occurs when a person’s entire body is exposed to a high dose of penetrating radiation, reaching internal organs in a matter of seconds. Symptoms of ARS injuries include impaired blood clotting as a result of low platelet counts, which can lead to uncontrolled and life-threatening bleeding.
To reduce radiation-induced bleeding, Nplate stimulates the body’s production of platelets. The drug can be used to treat adults and children.
Nplate is also approved for adult and pediatric patients with immune thrombocytopenia, a blood disorder resulting in low platelet counts. Repurposing drugs for acute radiation syndrome that also are approved for a commercial indication helps to sustain availability of the product and improves healthcare provider familiarity with the drug.
About HHS, ASPR, and BARDA: HHS works to enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans, providing for effective health and human services and fostering advances in medicine, public health, and social services. ASPR leads HHS in preparing the nation to respond to and recover from adverse health effects of emergencies, supporting communities’ ability to withstand adversity, strengthening health and response systems, and enhancing national health security. Within ASPR, BARDA invests in the innovation, advanced research and development, acquisition, and manufacturing of medical countermeasures – vaccines, drugs, therapeutics, diagnostic tools, and non-pharmaceutical products – needed to combat health security threats.

Haven’t you learned anything from the COVID “vaccine” fiasco?
Your’s the most likely explanation.🤔
Ten percent fot big guy.
*the big guy.
Incredibly, Biden hasn’t even completed half his term yet. That’s still around 4 months away.
Considering the gargantuan amount of damage he has done so far in that short amount of time, I would not be surprised in the least if a full blown nuclear war breaks out involving Russia, China, Iran as he reaches year 3 or 4 of his term. If Repubs lose the midterms, 2023 is going to be hell on earth.
And think: They impeached Trump for just making a phone call.
Oh here we go again...
Its a good idea for the govt to fund research to combat radiation sickness for defense purposes and to protect the population. A side application would be for those getting radiation to treat cancer. The govt has been funding this for years. Another company that has been working on something like this is Cleveland Biolabs. I have been following it for years:

They also need fear porn to justify draining the future out of the country via that useless war in Ukraine.
It is the media that keeps yakking about nuke war. It has been mentioned only a couple of times by Russia.
To combat the possibility of Nukes we need to dig a real deep hole and put every democrat guberment official in it for safe keeping.
I passed on the vax and I’ll take a pass on these as well. Here’s an idea for the big brains running this world. DON’T HAVE A NUCLEAR WAR!!!
Charleton Heston pounding his fist on the beach screaming “YOU BLEW IT ALL TO HELL!” in front of the partially buried Statue of Liberty doesn’t seem so far-fetched anymore.
DON’T HAVE A NUCLEAR WAR!!!
************
Wars come and go. Has been the history on earth since humans
began to populate it across the various lands. And the change
in various areas has been because of the population changes to
a large extent. Just review the USA history as an example.
Rulers rule and changes are made for the good or the bad. We
can only try to reduce, change or accept it and move on with
our life until death do us part.
Have a good day.
(DON’T HAVE A NUCLEAR WAR!!!)
Gosh, that seems kinda sane and rational.
