Former head of WHO’s EMF project and ICNIRP chairman says that Brundtland has created “fear of mobiles” in the population – and 3 largest newspapers in Norway publish the news SIMULTANEOUSLY! even with different wordings – Now what are the odds without tight orchestration?.

Chernobyl: the true scale of the accident?

Posted by seumasach on March 16, 2011

We have been assured that the Japanese nuclear disaster is not as serious as that at Chernobyl. But according to the WHO/IAEA the Chernobyl disaster wasn’t that serious anyway. “Good science” exponent and former head of WHO bodies ICRP and ICNIRP, Dr Michael Repacholi was, of course, in there as always with words of reassurance:

“the health effects of the accident were potentially horrific, but when you add them up using validated conclusions from good science, the public health effects were not nearly as substantial as had at first been feared.”

Repacholi has also been to the fore in reassuring us about EM radiation from the mobile phone network. In fact, Repacholi’s powers of reassurance are quite exceptional: even deadly depleted uranium is in his view “basically safe”:

“Depleted uranium is basically safe – you can touch depleted uranium for hours and not cause and radiation damage you can ingest it and it’s excreted through the body – 99 per cent of it goes within about a day – you would have to ingest a huge amount of depleted uranium dust to cause any adverse health effect.”

Still just in case you want even more reassurance here’s the WHO’s 2005 press release on Chernobyl twenty years on. There you will learn that:

“This was a very serious accident with major health consequences, especially for thousands of workers exposed in the early days who received very high radiation doses, and for the thousands more stricken with thyroid cancer. By and large, however, we have not found profound negative health impacts to the rest of the population in surrounding areas, nor have we found widespread contamination that would continue to pose a substantial threat to human health, within a few exceptional, restricted areas.”

Chernobyl: the true scale of the accident

5 SEPTEMBER 2005 | GENEVA – A total of up to 4000 people could eventually die of radiation exposure from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (NPP) accident nearly 20 years ago, an international team of more than 100 scientists has concluded.

As of mid-2005, however, fewer than 50 deaths had been directly attributed to radiation from the disaster, almost all being highly exposed rescue workers, many who died within months of the accident but others who died as late as 2004.

NOW – Repacholi Promoting Wireless/Microwave emitting Devices to Children at the Handheld Learning Conference 10-12 October 2007 in London

Repacholi:

– Admits Industry Funding – for the WHO EMF Project

– Employed by the Industry before and after the WHO EMF Project

– Emeritus Chairman of ICNIRP since 1996 – the body charged with setting ‘Safe’ International Exposure limits. [here]

– Now Promoting Wireless/Microwave emitting Devices to Children – at the Handheld Learning Conference 10-12 October 2007 in London (despite the UK’s Health Protection Agency’s own advice that under 16’s should only use Mobile Phones etc. as little as possible because they are more prone to harm from them)

 

Repacholi headed the Project into ElectroMagneticFields (EMFs) by the World Health Organisation (WHO) until July 2007.

The Guardian – scientifically challenged

Richard Bramhall

Low Level Radiation Campaign

Simon Jenkins’ opinionated and unscientific rant on Friday 8th January 2010 [1] is not worth wasting time on. However, The Guardian’s staff, reporting over that weekend (7th to 11th January 2010), have fallen victim to a long-running propaganda campaign.

Many people report symptoms of electromagnetic radiation sickness, WHO

Posted by seumasach on September 19, 2009

Medical News Today

12th September, 2005

“A lot of people report symptoms similar to yours, and there is even a name for it, electrical hypersensitivity (EHS)”, writes Chiyoji Ohkubo of the EMF-radiation project of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in an e-mail to a patient. Though the WHO confirms the problem is serious, there will be a ‘fact sheet’ by the EMF-project within a few weeks, totally denying the existence of radiation sickness. The information is based on instructions by a working group of five people in Prague, 2004. It reads like a political manifesto, to hush up the epidemic and leave the patients behind without any care.
