Inside A Secret Government Warehouse Prepped For Health Catastrophes :
Places like this DO exist.. Some may be alarmed by it becuse, to them, it means the government KNOWS something we don’t. Others may be calmed since we don’t know what the government knows, they are ready. All in your point of view.
But I was amazed that their let this NPR reporter in and that such an in depth report was conducted..
From the NPR story:
A big American flag hangs from the ceiling, and shelves packed with stuff stand so tall that looking up makes me dizzy.
“We have the capability, if something bad happens, that we can intervene in a positive way, but then we don’t ever want to have to do that. So it’s kind of a strange place,” says Burel. “But we would be foolish not to prepare for those events that we could predict might happen.”
The Strategic National Stockpile got its start back in 1999, with a budget of about $50 million. Since then, even though the details aren’t public, it’s clear that it has amassed an incredible array of countermeasures against possible security threats.
The inventory includes millions of doses of vaccines against bioterrorism agents like smallpox, antivirals in case of a deadly flu pandemic, medicines used to treat radiation sickness and burns, chemical agent antidotes, wound care supplies, IV fluids and antibiotics.
That is sort of what would have envisioned .. makes sense to me.. Glad it’s there. Hope we won’t need it.
But … if “we” need it, sufficed to say, not “everyone” will get it.
