Cancer risk 70% higher for females in Fukushima area, says WHO

11. Grasping at straws.

Surely you can do better than a German pediatrician on the board of an anti-nuke organization falsely criticizing a different assessment?

written mainly by the IAEA and collaborating nuclear institutions

The actual report from the OP lists 16 physicians from the WHO and 21 physicians from (among others):

Japan's National Institute of Radiological Sciences
Germany's Federal Office of Radiation Protection
Switzerland's Federal Office of Public Health
The UK's Health Protection Agency
Japan's Radiation Effects Research Foundation
The CDC
Frances's Institut de Radioprotection et de Surete Nucleaire
The National Cancer Institute (US)
The EPA
Finaland's Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority
The Russian Federation's Urals Research Center for Radiation Medicine
And the Universities of Utah, Tampere, Wurzburg, Manchester, Bremen and Indiana University.

But by all means... let's listen instead to a pediatrician with no relevant expertise from Helen Caldicott's anti-nuke crusaders. That's where we'll find reality.


And on further review - the earlier piece (the one his reply actually relates to)... only three of the forty people involved were from the IAEA and only one of them was part of the nine primary contributors.
