Temporary is a bit of an understatement, to this day there are large numbers of people in the Ukraine and in Eastern Poland as well as areas of Russia that ended up with Thyroid cancer due to this.

Nobody knows that. That’s pure speculation based on the linear no-threshold model.
It’s not conclusive it’s far from speculation.

I think that needs a 'but' in there somewhere, and for Eastern Poland/Ukraine the figures are quite a bit higher than for Turkey.

See: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14752799/ and many other studies done with similar objectives such as https://www.medpagetoday.org/meetingcoverage/ata/54237?vpass... . It is not something that sits well with various politicians because the liability question was never really answered and so this is just another inconvenient truth.

It does, thank you.
