NHK: Thyroid cancer found in 18 Fukushima children

[FBaggins]

29. No rational person could read that post as anything but a hypothetical.

But should I be surprised that you went there rather than deal with reality?

We both know that there's no chance that these cancers can be associated with Fukushima... but you're unwilling to admit it because it's more convenient to let the gullible believe the lies.

* It's too soon after the accident. Even MUCH higher dose rates at Chernobyl didn't pop thyroid cancer rates this soon
* They measured whole-body dose rates for these kids as well as calculated their thyroid dose... and the number is FAR too low to result in thyroid cancer (let alone this early).
* They've shown conclusively that the abnormality rate among Japanese kids that were not exposed to radioiodine are higher than (really the same as) the kids who were.

So there's no question that these 18 kids actually benefitted from the massive baseline screening program, since they can all receive treatment for a condition that very likely would not have been discovered for many years (if at all).
