YT stalwart Thunderf00t has made a few videos on this very thing. I'll put up a couple here but I recommend anyone interested in this to visit
his channel for the rest - even if I do have to reign myself in each time he says "nukular".

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

No kidding. Nobody bothers questioning the media on this issue (among others), it's so goddamn annoying!

Yeah, I have a feeling this sort of frustration is gonna last a while. The media is buried so far into its own ass that I don't expect any sort of hard-hitting, thought-inspiring journalism from mainstream sources for a long time.

It bugs me that everyone is freaking out over Fukushima without ever bothering to learn real science and apply it to the situation instead of just blindly jumping on board with the media hype. It's the same as with religion: faith isn't always bad, but blind faith is terrible.
I live on facebook. Come see me there.

Fukushima comes up often in the discussion of Seastar wasting disease. It has little to do with Seastar wasting disease. Yet it always is brought up as a possibility despite the fact that studies of infected sea stars show no traces of cesium.
People seem to think that radiation is some magical, communicable substance.
In some cases it is, in most cases it is not.
It is relatively easy to under estimate the damage of bacterial infestations and viral incursions in sea stars, which seems to be the real cause of Seastar wasting disease.
Just a related topic that I find highly interesting.

Just gets so frustrating.
