[ RadSafe ] BARDA grants $15m contract to RxBio radiomitigantcountermeasure drug

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

An interesting news release that doesn't actually compare their product
with anything other than itself, and that provides no information upon
which to base a conclusion as to it efficacy.  Nor does it even hint at
a proposed mechanism by with it achieves it myriad of miracles.  

I suspect that in addition to its claimed uses, you can use it to
lubricate snakes to keep them from squeaking.

I would like to see  Mr McCool expose himself to 10 Sv and watch him
wait 
for 24 hrs before giving him his own "medicine" as the only treatment!

I have a VERY hard time believing this stuff really works to the level 
described in this PR.
