ForbiddTV | The first Fukushima radiation death now reported @ForbiddTV | Uploaded October 2018 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
The Fukushima disaster exposed some nuclear power plant workers to levels of radiation that might induce some radiation related deaths eventually.
In September 2018 one death has now been reported by the Japan Health, labor and Welfare Ministry, or has it? After thousands of views and hundreds of comments on this video, not a single person has presented information of my challenge. It appears the reporting of the "first death" was indeed fake news.
Follow up video I did three weeks later: youtube.com/watch?v=RWhGhb5tzW8
The Japan Health, Labor & Health Ministry official website:
mhlw.go.jp/english
Kōrō-shō
mhlw.go.jp/index.html
Press releases for September 2018: mhlw.go.jp/stf/houdou/houdou_list_201809.html
This appears to be the earliest version of this story, connectshape.com/japan-acknowledges-first-radiation-linked-death-out-of-fukushima but it appears they made it up. There is no evidence that the Japan Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare ministry ever made such a statement. Additionally, the links they provide "according to Reuters" and "the BBC reported" all point to stories with dates AFTER this story was created on September 4th 2018, so they obviously edited the story later. Fake news. I have written to them with my accusation, will post results here if I ever get a response.
Other early appearances that basically just repeat the fake one above:
