Japan Govn’t Criticized for Lack of Comprehensive Care

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to health Anand Grover has made public statements criticizing the Japanese government for lack of comprehensive care of all those affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster. This is really inexcusable on the part of Japan and is somewhat shocking if it was not providing rigorous, consistent, comprehensive, and long-term testing, monitoring, and care for all those affected by the disaster.

Here on the United States west coast I am appalled at the lack of response by local, state, and the federal government. Right now there should be rigorous testing of for example the Alaskan wild salmon fish stock for radiation. There should be rigorous testing and publicly released data on what sorts of ongoing and routine monitoring of air, soil, and water are being done, how many monitoring stations there are, etc.

But we are living in a time of an information war where there is an explicit agenda to obfuscate information.
