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:ece4d]http://health.howstuffworks.com/cancer8.htm[/url:ece4d]
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.
