US Fukushima Deaths 27,752

These figures are compiled from the 30 latest Mortality statistics published from the Centers For Disease Control through July 30.

NOTE:

Here's some math to consider:

Chernobyl killed nearly one million people and counting, according to the New York Academy of Sciences.  Many deaths will never be included in the official count, because their cancers won't be connected to Chernobyl.  The long term impact of a compromised immune system and the subsequent health challenges will never be officially traced to Chernobyl

Only one Chernobyl reactor blew, and it was only three months old with relatively little radiation.
It burned out of control for only 10 days.

Dr Ernest Sternglass of University of Pittsburg presented the following infant mortality rate for the Pacific states, following chernobyl fallout in May 1986, just one month after Chernobyl:

   *  May 1986    54% increase infant mortality in Washington state
   *  May 1986    48% increase infant mortality in California compared to previous June
   *  June 1986   245% increase deaths per thousand live births in Washington state
   *  June 1986   900% increse infant mortality rate per live births in Massachusetts

Notice how the numbers increase with time?

Fukushima Reactors have been operating for 40 years, and would hold about 40 times more radiation than Chernobyl.

Fukushima continues to spray deadly radiation 24 hours a day for almost 150 days with no end in sight.

Three of the reactors have melted through with no hopes of containing them.

Recent on site reports confirm 10 Sieverts per hour, which is considered a lethal dose, in a few weeks, after a few minutes exposure. The area is too hot to work on and continues to release radiation. The number of radioactive particles may diminish with distribution but the  STRENGTH  of each particle does not diminish.

The unfettered, deliberate release of radioactive water into the ocean has consequences.

The increased pneumonia rates began showing up in Japan within about 30 days.

The increased infant mortality began being reported by the CDC in the US, for the period ending May 30, it was around 35-48% increase. These percentages will increase with time due to the increased exposure and further weakening of the immune system.

Using the 1,000,000 deaths from 10 days of Chernobyl with 1 reactor would equal about 100,000 deaths daily for each day that it burned out of control.

We are almost 150 days into Fukushima being out of control, with 3 confirmed melt throughs.

Would it be reasonably conservative to estimate that on that basis alone Fukushima is minimally 3 times worse than Chernobyl? Although all credible scientific evidence estimate it's horrifically worse.

On that basis, without considering other reactors and without considering that melt throughs are far worse, isn't it also a conservative estimate to equate each day that Fukushima is out of control it could equal 300,000 eventual deaths?

300,000 deaths x 150 days, and counting, amounts to 45,000,000 eventual Fukushima related deaths. Each day the deadly poisons circle the Northern Hemisphere means more deaths and suffering.

Even as shocking and dismal as these numbers are, not every living organism will die. The strong will survive better if they minimize the free radical bombardment.
