FUD on a massive scale. After the accident, they screened the thyroids of every child they could find in Fukushima Prefecture and found a lot of benign cysts. But since nobody had ever screened children’s thyroids before, they had no idea whether that was unusual or not.

When they later screen kids in areas far from Fukushima, they found an even greater percentage of cysts than in the Fukushima kids.

Equating benign cysts with cancer is not just false, it’s a damned lie.
