Instead of Protecting People, Governments Cover Up by Raising “Safe” Radiation Levels
Does that mean that we don’t have to worry about radiation from Fukushima?
It is a little hard to know, given that what is deemed a “safe level”
of radiation is determined by politics … rather than science. For
example, current safety standards are based on the ridiculous assumption
that everyone
exposed is a healthy man in his 20s – and that radioactive particles
ingested into the body cause no more damage than radiation hitting the
outside of the body.
And one of the main advisors to the Japanese government on Fukushima announced:
If you smile, the radiation will not affect you.
In the real world, however, even low doses of radiation
can cause cancer. Moreover, small particles of radiation – called
“internal emitters” – which get inside the body are much more dangerous
than general exposures to radiation. See this and this. And radiation affects small children much more than full-grown adults.
Indeed, instead of doing much to try to protect their citizens from Fukushima, Japan, the U.S. and the EU all just raised the radiation levels they deem “safe”.
Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen says
that high-level friends in the State Department told him that Hillary
Clinton signed a pact with her counterpart in Japan agreeing that the
U.S. will continue buying seafood from Japan, despite that food not being tested for radioactive materials.
