A Health and Human Services purchase that was announced this week had a lot of people talking on social media.
They bought $290 million worth of a drug used to counter negative health outcomes that result from nuclear emergencies — that is, a nuclear attack or accident. Many wondered why the Biden Administration would suddenly be purchasing something you might need for radiation or nuclear emergencies.
The drug, “Nplate” is produced by Amgen USA Inc and “is approved to treat blood cell injuries that accompany acute radiation syndrome [ARS] in adult and pediatric patients.” ARS “occurs when a person’s entire body is exposed to a high dose of penetrating radiation, reaching internal organs in a matter of seconds” that can cause “impaired blood clotting as a result of low platelet counts, which can lead to uncontrolled and life-threatening bleeding.” [….]
The drug was approved by the FDA in January 2021 for use in people suffering from acute radiation syndrome following “a nuclear explosion, an accident at a nuclear reactor, a radiotherapy accident, or the escape of radioactive waste.”
If that wasn’t enough, now Joe Biden just made some concerning comments during a Democratic fundraiser — that the threat of “nuclear Armageddon” was at its highest level since 1962.
Speaking at a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin was “a guy I know fairly well” and the Russian leader was “not joking when he talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons.”
Biden added, “We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis.” He suggested the threat from Putin is real “because his military is — you might say — significantly underperforming.”
Seriously? Is he truly saying we face Armageddon? What are they trying to sell us here? The Cuban Missile Crisis was a real threat, that almost brought us to the brink of annihilation. We have Biden in office for 18 months. Not only has he crushed our economy and opened our borders, but he’s brought us to the brink of destruction. Funny how we didn’t have any real threat under President Donald Trump. We went from sanity to the lunacy that we have now under Biden.
But if you didn’t think that was wild enough, let’s hear from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, who called for “pre-emptive strikes” to prevent Russia from doing a nuclear strike.
That caused such a furor his people had to rush out to clarify that he meant “preventative sanctions” (although that’s not what it sounded like).
The bottom line here? Even Biden is admitting privately the dangerous place his actions have brought us.
Vote as though your life depended on it. Because it just might.
