WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Impact Seen As Roughly Comparable to Radiation-Related Deaths After Chernobyl; Infants Are Hardest Hit, With Continuing Research Showing Even Higher Possible Death Count.
An estimated 14,000 excess deaths in the United States are linked to the radioactive fallout from the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan, according to a major new article in the December 2011 edition of the International Journal of Health Services. This is the first peer-reviewed study published in a medical journal documenting the health hazards of Fukushima.Authors Joseph Mangano and Janette Sherman note that their estimate of 14,000 excess U.S. deaths in the 14 weeks after the Fukushima meltdowns is comparable to the 16,500 excess deaths in the 17 weeks after the Chernobyl meltdown
Epidemiologist Joseph Mangano, MPH MBA, said: "This study of Fukushima health hazards is the first to be published in a scientific journal. It raises concerns, and strongly suggests that health studies continue, to understand the true impact of Fukushima in Japan and around the world.

I hate knowing that I'm right down wind from that thing. The Jet Stream roles right through here
Things are only going to get worse. They won't be able to hide it for much longer.

I'm also shocked that they were able to keep it under wraps for so long. There has been so much conflicting information, I personally think that's how the authorities wanted it to be so we would have less knowledge of what's really happening.
This study seems legit. It's peer reviewed, and I did a quick search on the two authors and it looks credible. This is the real deal in my opinion.

This sure is the real deal - unfortunately. I don't know what the answer is - but surely we don't all have to lie down and die without fighting to live.

I really can understand your lack of will to continue pursuing this horror and agree that 'what's done is done' hence, the apathy among the population - it's the 'I don't want to know because there's isn't anything I can do about it' that gets me.
There is things we can do and we need to get up off our arses and search them out. ie. the correct doses of medication or moving house.
The reason for searching out an answer is because when you're dying you will given anything - and I mean anything to live just one more day.
No we can't suddenly provide our selves a healthy future - TPTB have ensured that - but just stop and think - Do you really for one moment think they haven't found medical protection for themselves - because I don't.
When I plotted a best-fit line to the data (in blue), Excel calculated a very slight decrease in the infant mortality rate. Only by explicitly excluding data from January and February were Sherman and Mangano able to froth up their specious statistical scaremongering.
On the subject of Fukushima hysteria, here is a guest post by Alexey Goldin. It's a rebuttal of claims, by activists Joseph Mangano and Janette Sherman, that lethal amounts of fallout have reached North America, and that there is a "dramatic increase" in infant mortality in US cities. (!) Of course they have no evidence for a causal link, just correlation. Of course they didn't explain how on earth the microscopic amount of fallout observed in the US could cause any health effects, let alone lethal acute radiation poisoning; or how the obvious symptoms of such a deadly disease are going completely unnoticed. They haven't merely not-demonstrated causation -- they haven't even hit plausibility.
The Commission is of the opinion that "Radioactive Strontium-90 in Baby Teeth of New Jersey Children and the Link with Cancer: A Special Report," is a flawed report, with substantial errors in methodology and invalid statistics. As a result, any information gathered through this project would not stand up to the scrutiny of the scientific community. There is also no evidence to support the allegation that the State of New Jersey has a problem with the release of Sr-90 into the environment from nuclear generating plants: more than 30 years of environmental monitoring data refute this.
