[ RadSafe ] Re: Serious reporting on Chernobyl - and the LNT

[howard long]

Radiophobia was severely aggravated by the Assoc of American Catholic Bishops
tortuously, like the media generally now, associating radiation exposure with illness,
falsely implying causation when the actual incidence of cancer was generally LESS.
 
Millions of lives were disrupted by that fear then, not the radiation itself (except = USA auto deaths on any weekend). Worse, that manufactured fear and panic would kill many Americans
fleeing from a "dirty bomb" unnecessarily
