He said a dozen types of cancer.
Are you honestly trying to argue that exposure to Nuclear activity/radiation isn't necessarily bad for you? Because that is fucking retarded.

No he said "like a dozen cancers developed in a few years" which is nowhere near as precise as a couple of times (stomach and brain) or half a dozen ( 6 times, and I'm not going to list them).
Have you ever heard of chemotherapy. That is when they expose you to radiation to kill the cancer. So sometimes exposure to radiation is considered "good" for you, by the medical establishment.
I wasn't trying to argue any point, except maybe that we don't know what causes cancer. Claiming that some exposure 50 years ago caused the cancer isn't scientific at all, but just a guess.

What if everyone else at the same bomb site started to suffer from the same forms of cancer around the same time periods? Wouldn't it be safe to conclude that the exposure is to blame?

John. get a grip. A freekin atomic blast is an insanely large quantity of alpha, beta, gamma, neutron rays blasting thru ur entire body. Chemo doesnt actually involve any radiation. [url:705b1]http://health.howstuffworks.com/cancer8.htm[/url:705b1]
But many cancer patients also use radiation.

This radiation is a directed and controlled beam of radiation, not a wild blast of rays and particles.[/quote:705b1]
Ah, what if. That's using your brain. Fact is some got sick right away, some got sick later, and some lived many years with hardly any effect at all. Other people, with no exposure at all, also get the same types of cancers as the last group. At least Scorched Earth has an argument, although it doesn't explain why some get cancer years later and some without exposure get the same types of cancers at the same age. I didn't say exposure was a good thing, I said you don't know what causes cancer.[/quote:705b1]
Radiation is a huge cause of cancer. You cannot deny that. Chernobyl, A-bombs, and all the little animals they did tests on. If the soldiers didnt get cancer from the a-bombs then why is the government saying they did and paying the familes a very decent amount of money after the soldiers die? The soldiers actually got paid for having cancer. Yes he got it from the bomb, why did it take a while to develope? who knows, not I, I dont study cancer. And to elaborate, He had several different types of cancer that were cured but came back. that happend until he finally got a brain tumor and died. |
