Understand this.........governments lie lie and lie some more.
Pregnant women, infants and children need our protection.
I had a newborn and a toddler when the China bomb hit the USA. We switched to powdered milk, dried fruits and veggies from our local co op and tried to minimize outdoor playing on the grass for a couple of months.
Nothing lost and a small semblance of peace of mind.
Keep in mind that the media are in the business of selling soap--(advertising)--and that is based on ratings, and gloom, doom, and apocalypse sell like hotcakes.
Without facts, a number of people may have adverse reactions to substances used as prophylaxis for a non-existent threat.
I note that there may well be a problem, but I'm the 'doubting Thomas' who wants to understand what, why, how (did it get there), and what to do about it. Those questions were part of the basic framework of any good news story, (Who, What, Where, When, How, and Why), and are sadly ignored in what passes for journalism in this era of hype, obfustication, and dissimilation.
By all means, take the precautions you find necessary, I won't fault anyone for that. It is just that facts seem to be conspicuously lacking.
And the MSM is known to lie and hyperventilate to push their agenda as well. The MSM is known to be infested with liberals, and liberals tend to be anti-nuclear nutbars with an reason to hype the risks here.
So who should I believe here? Scientists with hard information that can be verified or disproven independently by other scientists at some point in time? Or MSM spinners who are seldom if ever held accountable for their BS?
You have to look at the source.
Sometimes, and sometimes they don't. In this case, I don't have to listen to the government, there are independent scientists and research that I can base my opinions on. You do what you feel you have to, thats up to you, but there are others with a differing opinion and its not all because of government lies.
