“For the eight years prior to 1986, only five cases of childhood (less than 15 years old on the day of accident) thyroid cancer were seen in Minsk, which is the main Belarussian centre for thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment for children (De94). From 1986 to 1989, 3 to 6 cases of thyroid cancer in children were seen annually in Belarus. In 1990, the number jumped to 31, to 62 in 1991, then to 87 in 1993. By the end of 1998 the total had reached over 600 in Belarus. “
Do you know the real reason why begging in the 70s in Western nations and later in the East block the rates for certain cancers, asthma etc really went up? DIAGNOSTICS. Kids were dying of leukemia in 1860, no one knew better. The kid just died. Many diseases have increased on paper because of the availability of diagnostic equipment as well as identification of disease. Hell, AIDS was killing people for a while and no one really knew what it was and that wasn't all that long ago! When the wall cam down in 1989, they were still using reusable syringe's in the DDR, officially they had no AIDS and guess what, once unification happened, the hepatitis rates shot through the roof, not because of the West, but because it simply wasn't tested, reported and tracked prior to that. You're talking about the East Block in 1986.....
No one looking before 1986, genius!
*** America, look at this man “ransomnote,” this is the result of a poor public education.
Still trying, Red6? I explained in my post 34 why, after reading your post 30, your posts were not worth my time. You destroyed your credibility upthread and insist on having it back now? Skip!
