Americans are also having birth problems.

As I mentioned before, there is a serious birth problem happening due to the radioactive contamination from Fukushima. It seems Japanese pregnant women must have more problem than the Americans across the Pacific Ocean. No body knows what is going on about the birth rate in Japan because of the China-like censorship. In Fukushima, the local government says it is OK to use the pool in schools. No body knows how far birth rate nor the nose bleeding shows serious problem. Here is my another guess, the birth defect might go at peak around October, 6 months after the accident. I'm talking from what I read and learned. It's not for scaring people because people don't talk about the problems people might face. They only try to look away.

U.S. babies are dying at an increased rate. While the United States spends billions on medical care, as of 2006, the US ranked 28th in the world in infant mortality, more than twice that of the lowest ranked countries. (DHHS, CDC, National Center for Health Statistics. Health United States 2010, Table 20, p. 131, February 2011.)

The recent CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report indicates that eight cities in the northwest U.S. (Boise ID, Seattle WA, Portland OR, plus the northern California cities of Santa Cruz, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, and Berkeley) reported the following data on deaths among those younger than one year of age:

4 weeks ending March 19, 2011 - 37 deaths (avg. 9.25 per week)
10 weeks ending May 28, 2011 - 125 deaths (avg.12.50 per week)

This amounts to an increase of 35% (the total for the entire U.S. rose about 2.3%), and is statistically significant. Of further significance is that those dates include the four weeks before and the ten weeks after the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant disaster. In 2001 the infant mortality was 6.834 per 1000 live births, increasing to 6.845 in 2007. All years from 2002 to 2007 were higher than the 2001 rate.
