Physicians refute World Health Organisation’s disinformation on Fukushima radiation

In contrast to WHO disinformation and what may only be described as pro-nuclear propaganda, a report from the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) has analyzed some of the available data from Japan and found “[t]he initial health consequences of the nuclear catastrophe are now, two years after the incident, scientifically verifiable” (9).

Depending on which demographic group is included in the survey and the radiation level that is considered a risk, the IPPNW estimated that upwards to 136,872 cancer cases or serious illnesses, apparently not including precancerous tumors on children, could occur.

World Health Organisation lies Refuted: Physicians Group predicts 100,000+ Fukushima Cancer Incidences/Deaths, rense.com,  By Richard Wilcox, PhD, 14 March 2013“………WHOM Do You Trust?

The WHO published their Fukushima report just before the two-year anniversary of the March 11, 2011 nuclear disaster, and – incredibly – announced that there will be practically no ill health effects to the public despite documented evidence to the contrary. A typical “mainstream media” headline reads that thyroid radiation doses in Fukushima infants are well within safe limits (2). Imagine that, the world’s “premiere” health organization and supposedly top medical “watchdog” stating for the record that the most vulnerable population within the most radiated zone is somehow magically “within safe limits.”

The continuing and endlessly repeated message from the media based on WHO’s report is that health damage from the Fukushima nuclear disaster is more psychological than actual (3). If you are worried about radiation you are probably paranoid, and that victims “should smile often” to reduce the negative health impacts of radiation. These depraved assertions are indicative of the specious and insidious lengths WHO and their media lackeys are prepared to go in order to obfuscate and cover-up what is one of the most severe threats to human health in modern history.

Even though the global media is controlled by just a handful of mega-corporations (4; 5), some people (perhaps too few of them) – to their credit – do not instantly accept the WHO’s findings and are now becoming more vocal in their demands for accurate information. 

The results of an investigation are only as good as the effort put into it. Many observers have criticized the WHO for ignoring relevant data and basing their conclusions on theoretical assumptions, a biased selection process and insufficient empirical data. According to Simply Info:

The methodology used for the WHO cancer projection risk report fails in a number of ways. Instead of attempting to build a few sample detailed profiles of exposure, they used highly generalized on paper estimates then applied them to entire populations. The WHO study is not based off of real world recorded exposure data in humans. It is instead very rough on paper estimates based off of government environmental radiation readings and food testing. The WHO study also threw out all data from the evacuation zone, where most people were actually exposed. Their study completely lacks this important data in their calculations (6).

The WHO threw out or otherwise selectively omitted data from the very areas where people were most affected. This is fraudulent science at best if not flatly criminal in intent. As nuclear critic Paul Zimmerman has found in his lengthy investigation of the radiation industry, “a clever campaign of misinformation has succeeded in making malignant deeds appear benign.” It is typical of governments that “[f]ollowing a radiation release, [they] avoid adequate radiation monitoring” because it is costly and might alarm the public (p. 23; pp. 209 – 211) (7). There is little concern for the number of people contaminated as the Japanese government’s mishandling of the Fukushima tragedy has clearly shown (8).

Physicians Who Do No Harm

In contrast to WHO disinformation and what may only be described as pro-nuclear propaganda, a report from the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) has analyzed some of the available data from Japan and found “[t]he initial health consequences of the nuclear catastrophe are now, two years after the incident, scientifically verifiable” (9).

Depending on which demographic group is included in the survey and the radiation level that is considered a risk, the IPPNW estimated that upwards to 136,872 cancer cases or serious illnesses, apparently not including precancerous tumors on children, could occur. Bear in mind that the IPPNW findings are conservative compared to some general estimates that put potential cancer incidences as high as a million (10; 11; 12)…….

Despite these shortcomings we should consider the IPPNW report as an important starting point for understanding the extent of health damages caused by the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Much to their credit, this is the first attempt by independent researchers to analyze available empirical data according to the ECRR’s critical methodology, which is the reason the numbers of deaths that may occur is quite startling and in stark contrast to the mainstream discourse and disinformation campaign being waged…. http://rense.com/general95/wholies.html
