Mangano and Sherman say they found that the death rates in the 14 weeks following the radiation’s arrival in the United States rose 4.46 percent compared to the same time period in 2010.
We checked their numbers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) and they are close to being right on the percentage. The death rate did rise a few percentage points in the time period between March 11th and June 19th in 2011 as compared to that same period in 2010 — though according to our calculations it only rose 3.2 percent — but the pair say emphatically that the death rate was due to radiation poisoning without backing that up with scientific evidence of those deaths being linked to any kind of radiation sickness. Roughly drawn out, there were 14,000 more deaths in 2011 than in 2010.
Until Mangano and Sherman — who by all accounts have poor prior records in the nuclear science community — come back to us with some concrete evidence of their 14,000 nuclear related deaths, we’re going to have to pass on their study as a real part of this conversation.
TextSALEM — Residents living near the Artificial Island nuclear generating complex who haven’t received fresh doses of radiation-blocking potassium iodide pills can pick them up on Friday at the Salem County Health Department office. Last week, the health department distributed the potassium iodide pills, also known as KI, to residents living within the 10-mile radius from PSEG Nuclear’s three reactors in Lower Alloways Creek Township. Those who didn’t receive fresh doses of KI can pick them up at the health department offices at 98 Market St., Salem, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.

A proponent of psychic warfare, Stubblebine was involved in a U.S. Military project to create "a breed of 'super soldier'" who would "have the ability to become invisible at will and to walk through walls". Stubblebine reportedly attempted to walk through walls himself, without success.[3] He features prominently in Jon Ronson's book The Men Who Stare at Goats.

I thought this guy sounded familiar (read the book)..

I have to go with these guys.
A provocative new study released this week suggests as many as 14,000 Americans may have died as a result of exposure to radioactive particles blown here from Japan after the Fukushima nuclear reactor meltdown in March. But even though the report is gaining some attention, experts say there is no scientific basis for its claims.
Cancers typically associated with lower levels of radiation take years to develop, Maidment explained. “With leukemia, you’re talking about five to seven years,” he said. “And there’s a 10 to 20 year delay for solid tumors. I know of no mechanism that could get you instantaneous mortality from radiation at lower levels.”
Dr. Robert L. Brent agreed. “The exposure of the USA population was extremely small and could not account for any acute lethal effects of radiation,” said Brent, a member of the National Counsel for Radiation Protection and distinguished professor of pediatrics, radiology and pathology at the Jefferson Medical College and the Dupont Hospital for Children.
