Cancer and You


Rally Round!

AKOMA PARK, Maryland (CNN) – Radioactive fallout from 1950s above-ground nuclear weapons testing spread farther than researchers previously realized and most increased cancer rates in the United States, according to a scientific report.

“Any person living in the contiguous United States since 1951 has been exposed to radioactive fallout, and all organs and tissues of the body have received some radiation exposure,” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Cancer Institute said in a progress report prepared for Congress. The report was reviewed by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research.

I was born after that.

Yay.

Whew! Sure glad to be in Canada.

Any person? That’s a pretty broad statement, and pretty hard to back up. A significant portion? Possibly. Every one? Unlikely.

Plus, the article is five years old. Why bring it up now? If it is such a big deal, I would think that more would have been said.

ahh, ever since the very 1st nuclear blast every human being on this earth has been given radioactive isotopes in there body. Everybody.

Clearly we should go back in time and halt all nuclear testing! Flying monkeys, ATTACK!

No you fucking imbecile we are to use more nukes!

I’m sure the leaders of America, North Korea, India, Pakistan, and China will be completely convinced by this semi-scientific news article.
Flying Monkeys, keep attacking!

You all have been exposed to radiation. The media just over hypes it and gives it an impression that any source will kill you. If you are so afraid of radiation, stop watching tv.

Nope, that might expose them to radiation. Too bad all those above-ground nuke tests were wasted on me, I was a submariner, and thus was exposed to several times the average US background radiation. Been nice knowin’ ya!
