I’m pretty sure that iodine has no affect against nuclear flash, thermal release, and concussive blast.

I hear it works well against NATO/Biden propaganda.

That’s why Russian sunscreen also comes in a 50,000,000SPF version.

It also has NO effect on the absorbed ionising radiation dose from the fallout. None. It does absolutely nothing against damage from injesting or inhaling other common radionuclides in a nuclear war scenario.

It is NOT a “radiation pill”.

It only protects a very limited part of your body against a very specific danger - accumulation of radioactive iodine-131.

It would be useful in a civilian reactor emergency like if there is a release of I-131, but a total gimmick in virtually any other scenario.

Hopefully the people paying a premium for KI pills realise this.
