The Latest Headline Which Isn't

What is going on here?  A study was done which appears to show that people living in high background radiation areas live longer than those who don't.  I can't read the actually study, and am relying on this linked article.

The article states that the study proves the LNT "hypothesis" (it's actually a theory, which the headline gets correct) is wrong.  

NO, it doesn't.

The LNT theory applies to cancer, not longevity.  So even if the study is valid, the interpretation is not.

I dislike quoting the MAGAt Trump, but..."FAKE NEWS!"

  

James Conca - Addicted To Lying About Radiation

 He continues to perpetuate his lies at that renowned scientific journal, Forbes. 

 He really should attempt to do something productive, but seems to lack the skills.

Liar

Another DeNiAr at Forbes...Shocking Not

Under the seemingly innocent title, "Can Nuclear Medicine Rehabilitate Nuclear Power?", the author seems to think the nuclear power industry has never attempted to link itself to the beneficial uses of radioactive materials in medicine.

Of course, the nuclear industry has been doing this for decades.  It usually follows the repetitive, "did you know bananas are radioactive?".

But also in the propaganda piece is the real message...some people don't believe in the LNT model.

Deny, deny, deny....

Anyway, to answer his last question,  "Nuclear power could use a little therapy.  Is that at hand?"

No.

P.S.  The physician named in the propaganda is also a SARI member.

Shocking.  Not.

Fracking Leads To Radioactive & Hazardous Waste Spread

Oh, the irony considering the fossil fuel industry has no problem with radio-phobia.

Large Australian study fails to find cause and effect.

And guess what?  These "undies" won't protect you from something that isn't harmful to begin with.
