Following on from both Joe Biden’s nuclear Armageddon speech, motivated by Putin’s nuclear sabre-rattling it was assumed that the US government’s purchase of a drug, Nplate, used to treat radiation poisoning, and excess bleeding, was a response to an anticipated nuclear attack upon US targets. In itself, the expensive meds would only service a small number of people; it would be used for saving the elites, not the ordinary people, who would be left to die from radiation sickness. However, it has been suggested that the meds might also have a use in dealing with paediatric patients with immune thrombocytopenia, a blood disorder resulting in low platelet counts. We will not know how this pans out, especially if the big fire crackers are thrown, and then, Nplate shortages will not be on our minds.
