... near a certain dose, and a certain amount of "statistical health" shows up. As if the "once in a life time" shock kicked
the immune system into high gear.

As the article says, this is a *hypothesis* and it pertains to *low* *doses*
of ionizing *radiation* only.

All the evidence from Hiroshima/Nagasaki, Chernobyl and Fukushima suggests
that prolonged exposure to radioactive material is dangerous for one’s
health and eventually lethal. As I explained, a damaged immune system does
not work properly, so it is quite a stretch to assume that such an immune
system would in some way repair itself. Note that *low* doses would not do
that.

To me, this argument looks a lot like wishful thinking by a clueless person.
Like “duck and cover”. Probably some people never learn.
