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

[Lemieux, Bryan P]

All I can say about it is that I know some of the researchers involved and have nothing but the upmost respect for them and the work that they do.  I believe that the work is legitimate.  Hesitant to get into any details because most of the information that I know about it is by virtue of my position.

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.
