The reactions to this information are quite interesting.
The evacuation 63,000 people is now known to have resulted in 2,202 deaths, cost $74 billion and still displaces 34,000 people seven years later. All for the benefit of a potential life expectancy extension a “few days” from avoidance of radiation and no known deaths prevented.
Yet somehow most people still think it was the right decision. This seems like some kind of congnitive blind spot.
