The following article is under copyright, so we have only quoted the first two paragraphs. It is time that the World Health Organization (WHO) told the truth about the health consequences of ionizing radiation on the populations affected not only by the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear catastrophes but also by the uranium-filled "bunker busters" used by the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan. For 55 years, WHO has not been able to tell the truth, because of its agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a group which promotes the nuclear industry. It is left to investigative journalists like the author of this article to get the truth out. The article goes in-depth into the terrible health consequences of this agreement on affected populations. We would like to add that WHO, also in thrall to the telecommunications industry, is not telling the truth about the harmful biological effects of non-ionizing radiation (such as from wireless technologies) on people and all life.
The World Health Organization in Thrall to the Nuclearists
by Robert James Parsons, Truthout, 29 May 2014
The International Atomic Energy Agency, whose mandate is the promotion of everything nuclear, has - for the last 55 years - prevented the WHO from carrying out its public health mandate in a world ever more exposed to the lethal effects of ionizing radiation.
