This is from a blog, http://sherriequestioningall.blogspot.com/2011/03/us-government-seized-all-supplies-of.html
“The U.S. Government SEIZED ALL supplies of Potassium Iodide? that is why people can’t get it now? Also Govt. Considering a Policy on KI Pills.
Let me get this straight. The U.S. government is seizing all supplies of potassium iodide and that is why people are not able to get their orders from suppliers? So the government is not allowing the people of the U.S. decide for themselves if they feel they need KI (potassium iodide) pills?
I have been hearing every single MSM network tell people not to get KI pills over and over again today. Fox news went as far as ridiculing people for buying or wanting KI pills. The press is absolutely going against people getting the KI pills to protect themselves. It is quite a force out there.
After hearing this all day and hearing the network talking heads constantly blast it and saying there will be no radiation exposure in the U.S. from the Japan reactors, I almost started believing them.
Then I read this article. It hit me, yeah they are ridiculing the people because the government is seizing the supplies of them so people will not be able to get them anymore. The government is obviously protecting themselves first. You will also see where the govt. is now considering creating a “policy” for the KI pills.
This is so outrageous!”
There is more in her site that look more substantial.
I will make a second post for it.
Here is the second post from the blog:
“A number of stores across the west coast are reporting that they are completely sold out. And a pharmacist at a Walgreen’s in California told us that they would not be getting anymore because the government has seized all supplies.
Fleming Pharmaceuticals, maker of ThyroShield a potassium iodide used in nuclear emergencies, said in a press release today that before the Japanese Quake the federal government already has stockpiled millions of doses. The company claims that some of the federal stockpile has expired and the remaining supply is set to expire over the year.
White House chief spokesman Jay Carney continued to tell the press that the U.S. is not in danger, but wouldn’t comment on the governments stockpiling program.”
“UPDATE: 3-15-2011 11:24p.m pst
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a statement about potassium iodide policy.
Dori Salcido, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health, said that they will be looking into “every aspect” of the Japanese disaster including “”Policy options relating to KI distribution.”
I would like to know what policy options they are thinking about.... making it where it is not available to the U.S. people over the counter?”
I thought some of her stories had links, they didn’t.
