John Gofman, a pioneering nuclear physicist who subsequently became an award-winning medical researcher, has called it the “perfect crime” — you know people are being killed, you know the cause of death, you know the perpetrator, but you can’t actually prove it. And indeed, these two international agencies have done absolutely nothing to help gather the evidence that might have made it possible to prove something — i.e. Thyroid cancers have one of the shortest latency periods, especially in young children, so that disease is one of the first things to look for. In the Fukushima region, childhood thyroid cancers are already so much greater than anticipated that it is difficult to escape the conclusion that these burgeoning cancers are radiation-caused. It is likely that this dietary iodine is the cause of the dramatic spike in thyroid cancer cases among Japanese children.
