"distance doesn't matter at all"

Same breath;

"of course being closest to the plant, that's where we would expect you to have the highest risk"

Expert?

March 2022 and looking like a good idea to get some

[blakewilliams]

The distance doesnt mater, the closest will be more exposed

[rodrigomillan]

She is right, the but she forgot the the liquids, drink lots of water, to flush system out.

"The distance doesn't matter but how close you are does"...how tf does that make sense?!

We needed it. Help you out and your family out.

It is the year 2022 and the US Government has stockpiled these pills and I'm very afraid of what could happen at any time because of the Russia vs Ukraine war that looks like other nations are peeping out what's unfolding right in front of our eyes and these outside nations have their own nuclear arsenal and a low key mobilization of Nato and non-Nato nations.

I do still ask why. If you have had a massive amount of exposure, won’t your entire body not just be ruined. Also how important is the thyroid?

Okay so how soon after my @$$ has been hit with the heat of Hell and the force of a solar flare should I start popping these chewables?

My uncle worked in a nuclear power plant for 13 years and had to take potassium iodide pills the entire time he worked there and shortly after.

If we do get the force of a 10000 suns on us will it be safe for me to give to my dog or is there an alternative I should look into

What if you can’t bring them somewhere?

2:00 What other types of radiation are released by nuclear power plants?

[TheBHAitken]

It's not like the majority of B.C. residents would be able to access potassium iodine, it would only be accessible if you have the "Premium" health care assistance.

[narucalo]

Kinda useful information. You won't die from iodine radiation but you ll die from All other radiations that coming out from the melt down.

[noahriding]

How much potassium iodide do you need? Like say you were exposed to radiation, how long would someone have to take the pills for it after initial exposure? People will say you should get and have potassium iodide but I haven't seen any of the video articles actually say how long you'd need to take the iodine pills for?

Only here because of the leave the world behind movie

[donnaphoenix]

Very suspicious that they are advertising for this right after an accidental nuclear warning message, what are they up to now?

After China's Reactor leak i am here.

If distances does not make sense than why do earth humanity study science inclusive physics biology chemistry . Distance and surrounding exposure areas and the total of all as a whole of the surrounding caculation by the measurement of sector or and by section or and by division individually or by area or by perimeter take into an account of the value of life and live.
