I live in Japan. I walked around with a Geiger counter and detected hotspots when reactor 4 exploded. I have seen the effects, the thyroid cancers, the total abandonment of Fukushima and I think this downplay of the dangers is irresponsible and propagandistic.
And how do those readings compare to before the incident, and now?
Any of you downvoters want to visit? Come and do the Obama drinks flint water to prove how hardcore you believe in this?
Naw. Of course not. It won't affect you personally. So easy to dismiss other peoples actual suffering and concern isn't it. Hope all of your children live forever.
Dude, I live here, too. I was here when the earthquake happened. I wasn’t in Fukushima, no, but was here in Japan through all the panics, the flyjin, the electricity conservations, grocery shopping where food displayed radiation testing, all of that. You’re being a smidge hyperbolic here.
I would come there but I likely would be exposed to more radiation on the flight over than what I would find on the ground.
I'd love to visit Japan! Will you pay for my tickets?
Obviously I'm not going to fly out to Japan just to prove some random commenter wrong.
But the American ambassador to Japan will do it.
