14,000 U.S. Deaths Tied to Fukushima Reactor Disaster Fallout ... Impact Seen As Roughly Comparable to Radiation-Related Deaths After Chernobyl; Infants Are Hardest Hit, With Continuing Research Showing Even Higher Possible Death Count ...

Make a person's world insupportable without an extremely complex infrastructure and that person will be far more malleable than one who can survive on little.
