AILEEN MIOKO SMITH: Yes, we’re very concerned that a health study is starting at the end of this month. This is concerning the effects of the Fukushima residents, on the prefectural citizens. It’s headed by a Dr. Shunichi Yama#a, who’s at the Atomic Bomb Research Institute. He’s the radiological health safety risk management adviser for the prefecture. He’s widely shown on national TV.
He speaks widely in the prefecture, always saying there’s absolutely no concern with the levels of radiation in Fukushima.
This doctor is quoted as saying, “The effects of radiation do not come to people that are happy and laughing. They come to people that are weak-spirited, that brood and fret.” This is a direct quote. And he’s heading the study. And so, the citizens in Fukushima are very concerned. [...]
He says that mothers, even mothers exposed to 100 millisieverts, pregnant mothers, will not have any effect, health effect. Remember the number 100. Compared to that, the Soviet Union required a mandatory evacuation during Chernobyl at five millisieverts.

He ad of Fukushima health study: 100 mSv/yr OK for pregnant moms — “Effects of radiation do not come to people that are happy… They come to people that are weak-spirited”
The guy who's saying this :

But this is nothing compared to this :

That is CRAZY... what's next? If you shoot yourself in the head with a shotgun, if you believe you will live, you will survive? Not even crazy suicide bombers think they gonna survive when they blow themselves up!
Or even this :

And this guy will head the Fukushima health study? IS THIS A JOKE? Whoever gave him this job/diploma needs to get his butt kicked.
Some of you probably ate asbestos, remember I know some of y'all snacked on those lead paint chips!

Whats next telling us to feed our children asbestos to help them grow or start rubbing acid in your eyes to see better the most amazing thing is that the majority of people in Japan believe nonsense like this and are just going about their business thinking everything is fine and that hard work and letting the government lies wash over them will save the day. Even an well educated friend of mine who has lived in Japan believes the bull# and has moved closer to Tokoyo I have told him repeatidly to get home and that if he stays he will get cancer or worse. I used to really respect the Japanese and wanted to visit but now I think they are the biggest country of sheeple going.

LMAO what a joke... Fox had Anne Coulture on spewing the same garbage saying that radiation was actually good for you.
So after all the decades of being told radiation was one of the worst things on earth to be exposed too now they turn it around and all of a sudden radiation is actually good for you........if you need cancer or a third arm. I mean come on who can say that and keep a straight face?
IMO the study that is being done is just an exercise in futility and no matter what data they collect they will skew their numbers to make it sound like things aren't as bad as they are. I put no faith whatsoever in any government "investigation".
... who can say that and keep a straight face?

At this time, there is no public health threat in the U.S. related to radiation exposure. FDA, together with other agencies, is carefully monitoring any possibility for distribution of radiation to the United States.
At this time, theoretical models do not indicate that significant amounts of radiation will reach the U.S. coast or affect U.S. fishing waters.

EPA officials, however, [color=limegreen]refused to answer questions or make staff members available to explain the exact location and number of monitors, or the levels of radiation, if any, being recorded at existing monitors in California.
Margot Perez-Sullivan, a spokeswoman at the EPA’s regional headquarters in San Francisco, said the agency’s written statement would stand on its own.
In the unlikely scenario that pollutants could affect fish that have traveled to the U.S., FDA will work with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to test seafood caught in those areas. Together, FDA and NOAA will also inspect facilities that process and sell seafood from those areas.
The FDA has claimed that there is no need to test Pacific fish for Japan nuclear radiation reports the Anchorage Daily News but when drilled on details by the reporter, the FDA [color=limegreen]refused to answer questions and gave the reporter the run-around.
The FDA says there will be no testing of fish until NOAA testing finds cause for alarm but NOAA [color=limegreen]refuses to answer questions on what kind of monitoring has been done.
