I found three links, with two linking to the same story in the first link below. The two remaining are:
http://www.infowars.com/u-s-government-blocking-americans-from-obtaining-potassium-iodide/
http://offgridsurvival.com/potassiumiodidesupplies/
Not sure about either source.
Having lived in Europe during Chernobyl, I’ve researched nuclear stuff quite a bit. Certainly no expert, but as bad as the Japan issue sounds, I don’t think we are in much danger.
The operative word being....
“yet”
I don’t think we were at this time, either.
But the idea that the gov is out there grabbing this stuff is completely outrageous. I live sort of near one of the nuclear plants in SoCal. Never mind there might be a dirty bomb someday, God forbid.
Just trying to help out Quix with fleshing this out, see what is real.
Thanks for the links!

“Yesterday afternoon (roughly 1400PST), the Urgent Care in Ventura, California, denied me a prescription for KI (potassium iodide): an over the counter, salt,” writes Michael (surname withheld). “The reason for denying me a prescription was predicated upon the Doctors conversation, with both CDC and DHSC representatives, whom discouraged it. After asking her if she took government orders, she replied, “No, but I do take their recommendations.”
“The U.S. government has so far refused to stockpile supplies of the drug despite the threat of a nuclear disaster nearing the scale of Chernobyl.
“The federal government has never purchased enough to meet that standard,” reports CNN. “There is currently only enough of the medication available for populations living within 10 miles of nuclear reactors in the United States, according to U.S. officials.”
Turns out the second link “OffGridSurvival” looks to be the source for my post from posts 67 and 70, SherriQuestioningAll.
This so far this is from blogs, I haven’t a seen real news source yet.
