HHS purchases drug for use in radiological and nuclear emergencies

As part of long-standing, ongoing efforts to be better prepared to save lives following radiological and nuclear emergencies, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is purchasing a supply of the drug Nplate from Amgen USA Inc; Nplate is approved to treat blood cell injuries that accompany acute radiation syndrome in adult and pediatric patients (ARS).

Amgen, based in Thousands Oaks, California, developed Nplate for ARS with support from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the HHS Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), as well as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health.

BARDA is using its authority provided under the 2004 Project Bioshield Act and $290 million in Project BioShield designated funding to purchase this supply of the drug. Amgen will maintain this supply in vendor-managed inventory. This approach decreases life-cycle management costs for taxpayers because doses that near expiration can be rotated into the commercial market for rapid use prior to expiry and new doses can be added to the government supply.

ARS, also known as radiation sickness, occurs when a person’s entire body is exposed to a high dose of penetrating radiation, reaching internal organs in a matter of seconds. Symptoms of ARS injuries include impaired blood clotting as a result of low platelet counts, which can lead to uncontrolled and life-threatening bleeding.

To reduce radiation-induced bleeding, Nplate stimulates the body’s production of platelets. The drug can be used to treat adults and children.

Nplate is also approved for adult and pediatric patients with immune thrombocytopenia, a blood disorder resulting in low platelet counts. Repurposing drugs for acute radiation syndrome that also are approved for a commercial indication helps to sustain availability of the product and improves healthcare provider familiarity with the drug.

“The US government said the procurement of Nplate was not in response to the war in Ukraine,” The Telegraph reported.

And in other news, the U.S. Government has indicated that Covid-19 Vaccines are safe, the southern border is secure, and inflation is under control.

When will they stop trying to give us some kind of shot??? I wouldn’t trust this anymore than I do the VAX. I don’t believe there is a injectable protection from radiation.

Sure it’s not. Give me a break -- if there was no threat (which clearly there is based on Putin’s recent speach) then why buy this stuff now?? Nuclear war is on the horizon………….

Putin did not threaten the US with nukes in his speeches. I read them. He mentioned the US threats against Russia.

You should also consider adding to your other preps while you are there.

LEF.org also has iodine tablets, along with good health advice. I got some yesterday! Potassium iodide tablets will flood the thyroid gland, making it less likely to pickup radio active iodine, which can cause cancer later in life. This is especially important for children, however at a reduced dose, contact your MD!

At typical price per dose that’s about 250,000 doses…..or enough to provide for most of the Federal Bureaucracy. They are NOT acquiring this for “we the people”.
