You are clearly and intentionally being misleading. I'm kind of embarrassed for you.
> The exposure of the Norwegians was 2 medical xrays
A whole body CT scan delivers way significantly more radiation than a typical "medical xrays".
"The authors cite estimates that Norwegians in the hardest-hit areas were exposed to an annual radiation dose equivalent to about twice the dose one would receive from a whole-body computed tomography (CT) scan, and about 60 times the external dose from an X-ray mammogram."
Come on. That's not the same as getting an X Ray for a broken bone. This is a 1/1000 chance of fatal cancer directly from the radiation exposure.
