11. Antinukes, like members of any cult, like to cite one another.

Helen Caldicott is a pathetic idiot, who like most antinukes doesn't or didn't (if she's still alive to spread her toxic and deadly rhetoric) give a shit about air pollution deaths or climate change.

On a way it's a good thing that she put her medical career aside to work in the toxic antinuke cults. I can't imagine she was a competent physician since she worked so hard to perpetuate the use of fossil fuels which kill people.

Decades ago I used to very much enjoy the late great Professor Bernard L Cohen's take down of her and his detailed expositions of just what an idiot she was.

Dr. Cohen's been dead a long time of course, but his absence did not make Caldicott's rhetoric any more or less toxic r deadly.

A member of the antinuke cults citing Dr. Candicott is about as convincing as someone citing Franklin Graham to prove the existence of Jesus.

The problem with cults is that the membership is terrified of stepping out of its closed circle of dogmatists to see the world at large.

In the case of antinuke cults, like antivax cults, the price paid is a vast scale of death.
