Fukushima's Children are Dying

[FBaggins]

24. So...um... that's 6-0 in my favor, eh?

THESE ARE PEOPLE'S LIVES AND SUFFERING YOU DISMISS WITH A WAVE OF YOUR TOTALLY NON-CREDENTIALED HAND.

Nope... that's entirely your imagination.

Because... totally lacking from your post is anything that refutes what I said. No evidence of a genetic abnormality passed from one generation to the next. No evidence that, for instance, radioiodine exposure in a parent caused thyroid damage in the child.

Instead... what the post evidences is:

1: Damage to offsprint that were in-utero at the time of the parent's exposure. That's a child receiving his own dose at the most vulnerable part of the development process - not inheriting mom's damage (which would be impossible since the DNA has already been inherited)
2: Parents with high doses of radiation being unable to gestate healthy children (entirely different from the child inheriting the parent's damage).
3:Children who were themselves dosed (obviously different)

Nearly all of the children under ten years of age developed injuries to the thyroid.

Nearly all of the children exposed to much MUCH MUCH higher levels of I131? That's supposed to be a surprise? It's well established that high doses of radioiodine (particularly to young children) can damage the thyroid. The problem with drawing conclusions from that is:

1: The children of Fukushima didn't receive such high doses
2: Your claim doesn't rest on the established fact that radioiodine in large doses can damage the thyroid... it rests on the notion that such damage would be inherited by three generations of children (70 years later).
