(152,126 posts)That much is certain, since the die-off started before the Fukushima disaster. And that's the problem with your post.
By attempting to link things to Fukushima that are not linked to it, you dilute your argument. And, like homeopathic remedies, dilution reduces the value of things. For homeopathy, the dilution continues until there is nothing left of the active principle at all. With Fukushima, every dilution detracts from the real issue, which is that nuclear power generation is not safe, and cannot be made to be safe.
The realities of Fukushima are more than adequate as a condemnation of Tepco and how this was all handled. Your introduction of an irrelevant and unconnected situation serves only to dilute the discussion.
Further, you dilute your own credibility, which further limits your capacity to make your point. I strongly urge you to step back, avoid enenews, which does not even bother to fact check the material it posts, and look for real reasons to discuss Fukushima and its impact. Focus on real information that is credible and correct, and you will have more impact. Focus on what is nonsense and incorrect, and you lose the argument every time.
Just a suggestion...
