This is an informational site from the CDC that gives resources about how to obtain potassium iodide.

1. This is for thyroid only, does not protect against radiation otherwise

If you have had your thyroid removed or killed, don't bother taking any. It prevents the thyroid from taking up radiation and killing the thyroid.

Already 1/3 people in the USA have malfunctioning thryoids due to varied factors in our modern world. Good to protect what you have left if radiation is an issue.

3. Just had my pharmacy check and their supplier is totally out. Other pharmacist said could

sell me some Lugol's Solution but at this point wanted an Rx to cover themselves. I think you can buy it in aquarium supply stores too. Heh.

4. Yes, that's what I got from the pharmacy too

But the CDC website on potassium iodide for radially exposure gave three websites where you can order it. I wanted it in my hands today but when that wasn't going to happen, I ordered from one of the three websites they listed.
