There have been no deaths attributable to radiation or other direct effects of Fukushima. There have, however, been a number of deaths due to the hysterical ways of responding to it.

Yep. When I looked for the source of the numbers I recalled, it turned out that none were due to actual health effects of radiation and all were linked to increased stress due to relocation away from communities, or unnecessary panic over the radiation which then impacted their health far more significantly.

For the avoidance of doubt, my view is now that there have been zero deaths due to radiation at or from Fukushima and there are expected to remain zero deaths in the future.
