You can get some from Vance in Old Town.

oddeye - 2011-03-16 No need for the rad-x or rad-away if your endurance is high enough, you take the right perks and you carry around an (advanced) radiation suit with you.

Iron Xides - 2011-03-16 character resources are too limited to use them on minor obstacles like radiation. drugs and money are good enough to counter radiation; perks and stats should be evaluated based on combat utility.
this is basic stuff man come on.

You can keep all the stockpiled pills next to the piles of duct tape you stockpiled after 9/11...
The surgeon general position is now the Ronald McDonald of the government.

Hammer Falls - 2011-03-16 I don't remember Koop being loopy. Now, he advertises for the "I've fallen and can't get up" company.

A disaster in Japan? How can we, as Americans, make it about us?

spikestoyiu - 2011-03-16 Just wait a couple of months until there's minor flooding somewhere so that we can call it "our tsunami". Again.

Hammer Falls - 2011-03-16 I live near a nuclear power plant. After 9/11, they were handing out these pills to anyone, and there was plenty of people lining up for them, just in case a power plant in south eastern PA was a prime target for terrorists.

I was so ready to type
"Sanjay would have never have done this."
but after listening to the interview, *she doesn't actually tell people to go out and buy iodine*
The reporter asks her about people stalking up on iodine at about 1:11, and she seems a little confused about the question and responds by saying it's a precaution, and then clarifies to ask if the reporter means in the US (as opposed to Japan). It'd be nice if she said "no need to buy iodine here, it's very unlikely that any radiation fallout will come to the west coast of the US", but she really just seemed to brush off the question.
I still haven't seen any real evidence of people raiding the iodine shelves in the US.

gmol - 2011-03-16 Fair enough. My point still stands as far as I can tell. I think she misspoke in a fashion that is pretty understandable; she didn't "tell people to stock up on anti-radiation drugs".

I don't think she's really recommending it. I've worked in public health for a long time, and she's just covering the basic "be prepared" motto. She's not saying, "GO OUT AND BUY IODINE NOW!" I think she realizes that some nutjob will still want to buy tons of potassium iodide. So, at least it won't hurt them, other than financially.

Well as long as she doesn't say it's okay for teenagers to masturbate, her job should be safe
