If you want to accuse someone of [[deceit]], I suggest you accuse the [[Soviet Union]], because they executed such a good cover-up that 20 years later your article says only 50 people have died. The actual number of indisputable, directly confirmend deaths is 56, and all estimates say that thousands, the WHO says 4000, will eventually die from causes related to this tragedy. If 4000 deaths isn't a disaster, I don't know what is. [[User:Bohdan|Bohdan]] 00:21, 3 October 2007 (EDT)

==About the hype==
Ed, i added those 4000 deaths that the study predicted to the article, those early estimates where offcourse allso estimates of the total number of casualties, not just people who died right after the incident. And those estimates wheren't only the estimates of enviromentalists or liberals, those where made by medical and other professionals who did the best they could based on the information they got from the accident.
Allso, how can you actually say that the distress of people living in those areas is caused by the "hype around environmentalist predictions" I would bet that their distress has bit more to do with the fact that an nuclear powerplant exploded at their backyard and that even with the new predictions around 4000 people will die eventually because of that. Allso when there has been around 4000 thyroid cancer cases, i would say that most of them actually have a reason to be afraid. [[User:WillM|WillM]] 06:51, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
