RE: ARTICLE: Fallout likely caused 15,000 deaths
Jim,
Let's try to stick with the original issue of Chernobyl and the victims.
While there were no deaths following the accident phase, people may have
been traumatized by fear. Post traumatic stress needs to be recognized as
an illness and treated. I believe that this is where the help is needed.
Of course, if you would like to go and tell the residents who were displaced
that their fears are unfounded, their exposures are negligible, you will be
providing a great service to them and saving governments gobs of money.

What's true is that there were NO deaths. We just ignore the fact that
"late-effects," much less negligible late-effects, are NOT what people
consider to be "deaths and injuries from an accident" in any other arena -
EXCEPT for the "personal agenda" of the rad protectionists SOLELY INTENDED,
to defraud the public of $100s Billions!? Remember, the ICRP mafia set the
evac limits at Chernobyl at LESS THAN the AVG natural background level of
Norway, far below "high background" areas. That has been shown to have
killed thousands. But this rad pro mafia still sticks the public with a 4
mrem/year limit at Yucca Mt., and in ground water! Still claims to kill
AEC/DOE workers with occupational doses; and the whole country with fallout.
It's not I that has to look in the mirror every morming and wonder about my
personal integrity!
