I still hear a lot of fear mongering about the Fukushima nuclear accident. Some call it “worse than Chernobyl”. I find no logic in that statement at all. Two and a half years later and yet not a single Fukushima power plant worker has died or is even sick!

Examples of scare mongering media manipulation headlines:

• Worse than Chernobyl: The inner threat of Fukushima crisis
• Nuclear disaster: Radiation levels at Fukushima would now be fatal within hours
• West Coast of North America to Be Hit Hard by Fukushima Radiation
• Fukushima Radiation Release Equivalent To 1,000 A-Bombs
• Fukushima leak is ‘much worse than we were led to believe’

Folks, I live in Niigata Prefecture which is the neighboring prefecture to Fukushima. If people were dying or getting sick from nuclear radiation in Fukushima, I would hear the locals talk about it. Nobody is. See Japan’s radiation disaster toll: none dead, none sick
