Nukepills are nonsense.

They are very effective towards protecting the thyroid gland, but only the
thyroid gland.

To say they are nonsense altogether is, well, nonsense. During the Cold War,
the Soviets distributed them en masse to their subjects, apparently determining
they had some efficacy. Our government felt that nationwide distribution,
while tactically adviseable, would be "alarming" to the citizenry and so the
idea was quietly shelved. The pills are probably much cheaper ordered through
a drugstore than from anywhere else though.
