When some here at Dagblog were posting IAEA pablum that Fukushima was a notch under 3 Mile Island I was surprised anyone would believe that crap.</p><p>The one thing in the piece about the<em> '35% increase in child mortality</em>' in the US northwest, is not supported by the wider data for child mortality over that period, see<a href="http://nuclearpoweryesplease.org/blog/2011/06/17/shame-on-you-janette-sherman-and-joseph-mangano/" target="_blank"> link</a>.</p><p>To have some scientific validity, one would have to show a mechanism as to how the radiation in Japan caused mortality in US infants, and then show the infants involved died for that reason. A wider range of the infant data is at the link and sheds doubt on the significance of the data slice in the article, calling it 'cherry picking' numbers.</p></div></div></div> Fri, 17 Jun 2011 04:28:42 +0000 NCD comment 124677 at http://dagblog.com
