Even after the tragic accident on March 11th, at the Fukushima nuclear power plant the government and TEPCO continued to underestimate and underreport the severity of the accident and the potential effects on the surrounding population.

The mainstream media followed this lead by not questioning the information they were getting from the government and TEPCO and simply passed along what they were being told, always telling the best case scenario.

OurPlanet-TV has been covering the whole incident and given transparent information about the incident as opposed to the mass media. We especially have been focusing on children’s health issue and safety problems related to people’s daily life. For parents living close to the nuclear incidents epicenter, it has been crucial for them to have access to objective information regarding the disastrous situation.

By giving donations to Our Planet TV, we will be able to provide diverse perspectives that rarely heard in the corporate-sponsored Japanese media to people in Japan and all around the world.

And right at the start when the Japanese medical Authorities were clamping down on information and stopping testing being done, Our Planet TV interviewed a brave health worker (a former health worker in Belarus) who was prepared to speak out against all odds. they also, did some preliminary epidemiological surveys and then gave the results on Our Planet TV.

this was before the terribly high findings of thyroid cysts in children.. and helps to explain the high rates of thyroid abnormalities.. To date the Japan Thyroid Association has done very little surveys and published no papers for peer view approval this year! says alot?

And here is the excellent interview and results..
