Japanese Radiation Found In US Water, Megyn Kelly Asks If We Need To Worry

video
» 16 comments

In a number of American states, trace amounts of radiation that originated in Japan has been found in the rainwater. Hearing this, most people are going to want to know whether or not we need to worry. Earlier, Megyn Kelly posed this question to Dr. Richard Firshein who said that, as of yet, we don’t need to be concerned over here.

Firshein explained that radioactive levels are measured in picocuries and that, while the radiation found is from Japan, the levels have not risen above those found in a typical glass of beer. He did say that everyone would be watching the water around Japan very intently over the next week but, when Kelly asked if we’d ever have to change where we got our drinking water from, he promised that we were still “so very far” from that type of situation.

Of course, we may not be getting the full story. I mean, what do either Kelly or the doctor think about magic?

    Oh, goody! Megyn joins the rest of the yapping class in trying to scare people over nothing. Scientist after scientist keep saying that there is no threat here and news anchor after news anchor keep ringing alarms.

    Here is a way to look at it – if the radiation from the Fukashimi Dai-ichi plant was harmful to America, than the radiation from Hiroshima should have killed all of us since it was more and blasted high into the air.

    I really hate when they go out of their way to scare people and Megyn is usually better than this.

    I don’t know how scientific this is, but I live in California and it glows when I pee.

    Um, yeah that happens in Florida, too. Comes from all the sunshine. Used to be Deco colors, but that fad is gone.

    Radiation will make a liberal glow……

    See what I mean?

    Nah, don’t be worried. You should love radiation just like Ann Coulter said so.

    Meanwhile, more people have already died being evacuated from the exclusion zone than have died, and most probably will die, from the accident.

    That which worries people over the Fukushima Daiichi incident is something they know little about. Nuclear power is replete with the same vaguely ominous terminology associated with the invisible enemy of human extinction and world-wide atomic destruction – which come in bomb form. Remember, the world’s nuclear powers blew off dozens of nuclear bombs up to the megaton range into the high atmosphere. We’re all still here.

    It’s the beginning of the zombie apocalypse, for real.

    Why is foxnews so paranoied about this radiation stuff? didn’t they tell us the media was exagerrating about it?

  • The Tea Weasel®

    I don’t know, Megyn-ecologist, maybe it’s nature’s way of saying “you have screwed up again”.

    I thought Ann Coulter was your resident radiation expert…whydontcha ask her?

    Don’t worry, Megyn, be happy!
    Besides, peroxide will probably dilute the radiation.

    It isn’t just Fox. All of them including the increasingly MSNBC-like Weather Channel have been literally foaming about this for a week or more. And every one of them has had a parade of actual nuclear physicists, radiation oncology doctors, nuclear engineers and similar bonafide experts that have consistently told them (and us) that it is not a problem and won’t be. Yet, they run with it every day and just find new experts.

    The all of the female anchors are safe! Although that does not bode well for the species as a whole.

    The real point is that it is a small world after all. What happens in Japan on our West Coast impacts the east coast and beyond. This is proof that air pollution, water pollution will travel and is changing our world. We need to be aware of what we put into the environmet. That is why it is necessary that we have the truth about “the safety of oil drilling” and the chemical cocktail used by companies in the natural gas extraction method called “fracking”.

    You go, Megyn! Stir up the wretched masses.
