I can find lots of places where you claim it was said... what I can't find is a single example of anyone actually saying it in March 2011.

Surely you can provide a link since you're using quotation marks?

On edit - My apologies. I did a more thorough search and find that in fact you've been pitching that strawman since three weeks after Fukushima... not "about a year".

I found it particularly interesting to note that the first instance was in reply to someone else who claimed expertise and recommended that people look at the thyroid cancer spikes around TMI... when in fact there have been no statistically significant increase in thyroid cancer around TMI.
