Primary effect of the radiation is not death though.
This is a complicated topic, as willfully or not a lot of the numbers that people used to throw around (contamination level of water, air, child cancer numbers etc.) have been reajusted in the last years, and health effects are not explicitely labelled as “radiation related”, making it difficult to just throw a “look, told you so” kind of press article at people in online discussions.
There’s a lot of conspiracy theories, but a lot of gov. bullshitting as well. Overall my understanding is radiations (including from the rain in the first days, and from the food/soil that has been moved) had some ambient effect, but not to tv drama proportions.
