It's a valid point. The Guardian is biased. It's not their inability to make rational arguments or do math. It's more their propensity for focusing on certain facts, and figures and disregarding others to bolster their viewpoint. Much like what people call science these days. It's far less scientific than it is propaganda designed to shape public opinion. It's fine if you want to get your information from there, but you should go in with eyes wide open.
The cancer implications are similar to Three Mile Island. There was no official leak but cancer rates skyrocketed in that area. Or Simi Valley which happened in the 50s and was hidden from the public until the late 70s. Rates of a particular kind of cancer known to be caused by the particular kind of radioactive release was off the charts. Never proven. Rags like the Guardian do a disservice to the facts due to their failure to be objective.
