The English media is making a total mess of this, as usual. The Japanese media might not be so much better in terms of real information distribution, but they seem much less inclined to fan the fires.<br /><br />Companies are running out of Potassium Iodide in the USA because people have been so scared by the alarmist reporting.

They do it an hour after someone else does it for them, which makes them look devious, even if it is just PR-incompetence. It's a great way to make people panic.Ἀντισθένηςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199983680204710885noreply@blogger.com
