I live in eastern WA State. Cannot find measurements for my location. I wonder why these have never been published. If you have other sources, please post to this thread.

[hinckley buzzard]

They've never been published because they are meaningless.

[qam1]

Yeah sure, give me some names of these people

This sounds like the phantom 40,000 dying each year from 2nd hand smoke or 50,000 from coal plants or the numerous others people BS death liberals make

[NoPrisoners]

Check out the subject radiation hormesis. There is some evidence that low-dose radiation actually activates radiation-protective genes.

[G Larry]

As with most anti-nuclear reports, the conclusions and the data are fabricated.

Do a search and list the credentials of the International Journal of Health Services.

Name ONE. Seriously. One person in the USA who died as a direct result of the Fukushima Fallout.

In the 1980's there were news reports which claimed that thousands of homeless people were starving to death every day. Yet, the same newspapers never had a single story of a specific homeless person dying of starvation.

14,000 in the US from one accident across the pacific? So how does that meet the smell test with only 11,000 worldwide from over 500 above ground nuke tests worldwide?

Between 1945-1980 there were over 500 atmospheric nuke blast tests all around the world. The CDC and NCI claim that worldwide it resulted in 11,000 deaths. That too was iodine-131 radiation.

The lady on the catering truck had asked me if I was taking any precautions due to the then-imminent arrival of said fallout here on the west coast. I politely laughed. This is even more hilarious. If I were not of the moral character I would have made a mint on the pills and geiger counters.

These doctors should be stripped of their licenses and the Journal shuttered.

I have enough swamp land and bridges, doc. Thanks! But if you buy a Coke you can save the polar bears.

[PGR88]

What the hell does “peer-reviewed” exactly mean anyway?

That you have had the other like-minded, tenured progressives at your State-funded University reach the same pre-determined conclusions????

[LukeL]

If this were true, as radiation would disipate as it moved eastward (maybe by the square of the distance or the cube) then we should have well over 1 million deaths in Japan and islands like Guam, Samoa, and others should have had 5-10% of their populations wiped out.

[Larry Lucido]

We just did this a week ago! Is there a shortage of unadulterated crap on FR? We’re running re-runs now??

[Larry Lucido]

It’s not only a re-run, but it should be in Bloggers, not News.

To bad FR doesn’t have a category specifically for insane bloggers.

[ElkGroveDan]

This is insane. I am shocked any reputable journal would publish it.

[cake_crumb]

Obama admin setting up a case to sue Japan for reparations?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Looks like that climatology degree is paying off for at least one “scientist”.

[HiTech RedNeck]

That was pretty darn quick. What I want to know, where are the three-eyed weasels?

[garjog]

“estimated 14,000 excess deaths”

This is bull. These are made up statistics. There is no way 14,000 people have died in such a short time. This article should be taken down as garbage.

[stylin19a]

whoa...concrete statistics here ..

nternist and toxicologist Janette Sherman, MD, said: “Based on our continuing research, the actual death count here may be as high as 18,000, with influenza and pneumonia, which were up five-fold in the period in question as a cause of death. Deaths are seen across all ages, but we continue to find that infants are hardest hit because their tissues are rapidly multiplying, they have undeveloped immune systems, and the doses of radioisotopes are proportionally greater than for adults."

18k deaths that wont be counted as caused by Climate Change or 2nd hand smoke or... interesting that US casualties exceed Japanese casualties.br /

[paul51]

the report may be total BS but it’s plenty good enough for some ambulance chasers.

[faucetman]

This is total BULL$HIT! C’Mon Man, don't fall for this crap.

Hiroshima & Nagasaki are nuclear wastelands today right? Nobody in Japan would live there today would they?
