Nothing like a good dose of radiation panic to boost those ratings! The meme highlights the classic disconnect between scientific risk assessment and media coverage. When Japan released treated Fukushima wastewater that meets international safety standards (and is actually more dilute than what's already in your tap), journalists suddenly became nuclear physicists. The irony is delicious - we're swimming in a sea of much more dangerous everyday chemicals that never make headlines. Remember folks, the dose makes the poison... and apparently, the clickbait too.
