Tests

When new products and procedures are introduced to the general public the government often times will vouch for the safety of these things. Recall between 1951 and 1962, one hundred above ground nuclear bombs were tested in the Navada desert. At the time the government allowed many soldiers, along with scientist and press people to observe these tests. Over the years about 400,000 soldiers witnessed these tests and they were told there was no danger. Studies later showed that these tests led to health problems that are still happening today. There are statistically higher rates of leukemia, thyroid cancer and respiratory cancers. A 1997 study estimated 10,000 to 75,000 potential thyroid cancer cases from fallout.
