The US government has purchased a significant supply of radiation-injury drugs as the Russian president threatened the use of nuclear weapons, The Telegraph reports. A $290 million procurement of the drug Nplate, to treat acute radiation syndrome (ARS), was announced by the US Health and Human Services (HSS). The government confirmed it was the first purchase of the drug, manufactured by the California pharmaceutical company Amgen.
The purchase comes after Vladimir Putin renewed his threat of nuclear war. In a speech last month he vowed to use “all the means at our disposal” to protect Russia and its people. “This is not a bluff,” he said.
The US government said the procurement of Nplate was not in response to the war in Ukraine.
An HSS spokesman told The Telegraph: “This is part of our ongoing work for preparedness and radiological security. It has not been accelerated by the situation in Ukraine.”

And how did Amgen get the “rights” to produce this wonder drug?????
When asked on Thursday about the government’s procurement of the $290 million drug Nplate, President Biden told reporters, “I don’t like to toot my own horn, but I must say that although Donald Trump deserves credit for the production of the anti virus vaccine, I have procured a drug to help Americans cope with Putin’s nuclear bombs when he delivers them to our shores.”
“And that’s certainly not chopped liver,” Biden boasted. “Nuclear bombs are life threatening. No really, I’m serious about that, man. There have been scientific studies that showed that nuclear weapons can be harmful to your long-term health. And that’s why, if anyone manages to survive Putin’s nukes, they should vote for me in 2024. I’m serious about that, man!”
Anti-vaxers, anti-depop injections, run for the radiation drugs quickly before they’re sold out.
