Subject: RE: BS: Japan Nuclear plant disaster, 2011
Estimating the long term impact on humans of the Fukushima disaster is quite a chore. There are the early deaths that we know about, a relative handful. There are the unborn children who are aborted intentionally or spontaneously. There are the extra cancers that appear through the years, greater than one would expect given earlier incidences, and so hard to prove the cause is radiation in a court of law. And there are the other diseases whose frequencies also increase over time.

Probably Chernobyl is the accident with the closest parallel, and experts disagree sharply on the assumptions and the numbers generated from them. I think I went over some of those reports much earlier in this thread. Maybe I'll do a review this weekend.

But I just wonder when people will wake the fuck up
