日本政府承認：應該一早已派發碘化鉀藥片
Japanese government admits potassium iodide pills should have been distributed earlier

(NaturalNews) A Japanese nuclear safety official has now publicly admitted the Japanese government improperly withheld potassium iodide from the public for three days following the Fukushima power plant explosion. Kazuma Yokota says the Japanese government was "caught off guard" by the nuclear catastrophe and didn't realize its people needed potassium iodide until three days later.
（NaturalNews）一名日本核安全官員已經公開承認，日本政府不當地保留碘化鉀不給公眾三天，隨著福島電廠爆炸後。萬馬橫田說，日本政府被核災難殺個“措手不及”，及沒有認知它的人民需要碘化鉀，直到三天後。
Associated Press distributed this statement, which has been carried by hundreds of mainstream news organizations:
美聯社發布這聲明，它已被數百個主流新聞機構刋登：
"A Japanese nuclear safety official, Kazuma Yokota, acknowledged that the government only belatedly realized the need to give potassium iodide pills that help reduce chances of thyroid cancer to those living within 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the nuclear complex."
“一位日本核安全官員萬馬橫田承認，政府才剛意識到需要派發碘化鉀藥片，對那些生活在核設施12英里（20公里）內的，有助於減少甲狀腺癌的機會。”
This explanation defies logic, of course. How can a person whose job is to assure the safety of the nuclear industry not realize that an exploding nuclear power plant might be dangerous to its people? This should have been the very first action item made public: Take your potassium iodide! A nuclear plant has just exploded, and radiation is leaking into the environment... what to do?
這解釋當然是不符合邏輯，一個保證核工業安全的人如何能不意識到核電廠爆炸可能對人民是危險的呢？這本應已是第一項行動作公開：服用你的碘化鉀！核電廠剛剛爆炸，和輻射洩漏到環境之中 ...怎樣做？
That the explosion at Fukushima did not trigger an immediate announcement for people to take potassium iodide is yet more evidence of Japanese government incompetence or perhaps even a cover-up. It's almost as if the government didn't want people to think the explosion was a big deal, so they downplayed the whole scenario and didn't bother to warn people to take action. Encouraging people to take potassium iodide might have "frightened" them, they probably figured.
在福島的爆炸沒有引發對市民的即時宣布服用碘化鉀，依然是日本政府不稱職的更多證據，或可能甚至是掩蓋了。它幾乎是好像政府不想人民認為爆炸是一個大問題，所以他們淡化整個場景，及沒有理會去警告人們採取行動，鼓勵市民服用碘化鉀可能“嚇怕“他們，他們可能估計。
If that sounds familiar, it's probably because President Obama has taken exactly the same non-action in the United States, too. Last week, he publicly urged people to do nothing to prepare against the very real possibility of radioactive fallout reaching California (http://www.naturalnews.com/031735_O...).

When it comes to taking intelligent action following this nuclear catastrophe -- which already ranks as the second worst nuclear accident in the history of human civilization -- our governments all earn an "F" grade. Because they failed to warn the citizens to take because precautionary steps, and in doing so, they are setting in motion a sequence of events that will get people killed.

Thousands of cases of future cancers may be attributable to the radiation already emitted from Fukushima. Had the Japanese government acted sooner, some of those cancers might have been avoided with potassium iodide.

That's what the substance exists for, after all. If you don't use it following a nuclear power plant explosion, then why have it at all?

We will be fortunate, indeed, if the Fukushima nuclear power plant situation is resolved without further radiation leaks. A close brush with nuclear catastrophe, no doubt. One lesson we can all learn from this is that those who wait for their governments to tell them what to do may pay for their lack of action with their lives.
