Re: Anti radiation vaccine?

It isn't really a vaccine as such, More a drug that could be administered to people who have to work in high radiation zones.

Life evolved on Earth back when the natural environment was a lot more radioactive than it is today. Some of it still has that heritage.

There is also the issue of immediate LD50 radiation dose and long term background dose. Humans can survive a fair amount of total radiation dose provided that it is over a longer period of time. 200cGy in total except that 15cGy/day is OK for 100 days (total dose 1500cGy).

See para 8. below:

That is why it is so important to spend the first 2 days (at least) and preferably the first 2 weeks in a heavily shielded facility if there is nuclear fallout. Radiation levels from a nuclear blast decreases by a factor of 10 for each 7 fold increase in time from an hour after t0.

URGENT: RUSSIAN MISSILES ON THE MOVE - COUNTRY-WIDE

Something is taking place inside Russia which signals a terrifying and dangerous escalation is taking place: Numerous Russian Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) trucks have come out of storage and are traversing snow-covered back roads throughout the entire nation of Russia.

Or it signals something a lot less terrifying - Putin is indulging in attention-seeking behavior.

Like Trump, he might - in theory - be mad enough to think about doing something really stupid - but, like Trump he is surrounded by people who owe their position to not carping about his lunacies, but have enough sense to realise that being top dog in a smoking heap of rubble isn't an attractive prospect.
