"What the public doesn’t know is that the fundamental assumption of radiation safety and regulation simply isn’t true. This is the case against Linear No-Threshold."

I found this video getting more interesting the further it went on. No relationship between cancer and radiation? And cancer rates go down for those with radiation exposure? You may be radiation deficient?

I found this very compelling, but when he started praising the current presidential administration it began sounding more like libertarian anti-regulation propaganda than a legitimate critique.

The sources seem good so there's merit for review, but I don't think the solution is "assume everyone has the same level of biological repair ability and abolish the current safety measures of the industry".

Cancer is also not the only harmful thing radiation does - you can also get infertility, birth defects, etc at lower doses.

This is a good point. eg, there was even mention of decreases in all cause mortality associated with 'low' dose radiation, but there's quantity of life and quality of life. "Oh yeah, you'll live 6 months longer than anyone, but we have to take a random body part each couple of years"

Contain your zealotry. It's possible for the bad guys to be correct sometimes.
