[ RadSafe ] Latest video from Dr. Busby

[Steven Dapra]

Sept. 13

         I did a Google search for "Fukushima children" and "heart 
attacks," and found about 1500 links.  I read the descriptions of 
about 20 of them, and most of them had Busby's name on them.  You are 
welcome to draw your own conclusions.
