Kuwait Ministry of Health stockpiles thyroid-blocking potassium iodide for nuclear radiation emergencies
MOORESVILLE, N.C., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ — Nukepills.com today announced the sale of 180,000 units (5.4 million doses) of ThyroShield™ Potassium Iodide to the Kuwait Ministry of Health. Worth approximately $1.4 million, the sale was brokered by Nukepills.com and signifies Kuwait's proactive course in protecting its citizens during a nuclear radiation emergency.
“This sale is the first large-scale order of ThyroShield from a foreign government. We are currently working on additional potassium iodide orders from other countries in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. We hope the new U.S. administration follows Kuwait's lead and reinstitutes the potassium iodide distribution plan to protect its citizens,” said Troy Jones, President of Nukepills.com.
Yeah, that might be a good idea, huh?
According to the CIA factbook, Kuwait has a population of 2,596,799
note: includes 1,291,354 non-nationals (July 2008 est.)
Who else are they going to provide the remaining supply to?
Gaza (?) has 1,500,202 (July 2008 est.)
That leaves 1.4 doses for what . . .Southern Lebanon?
