Yeah that's 12% of the population. Another source says there are about 2.5 million deaths a year in the US, listed as follows:

Heart disease: 599,413
Cancer: 567,628
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 137,353
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 128,842

Diabetes: 68,705
Influenza and Pneumonia: 53,692
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 48,935
Intentional self-harm (suicide): 36,909

Oh okay, I suppose he was talking about worldwide deaths. I'm not sure if he knew that, though.

World Deaths in millions % of deaths
Ischaemic heart disease 7.25 12.8%
Stroke and other cerebrovascular disease 6.15 10.8%
Lower respiratory infections 3.46 6.1%
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 3.28 5.8%

those were worldwide figures
also, those 10K baby deaths, I bet they don't have definitive proof that they are linked to radiation.
IDidnt they just say 10K babies died while the whole Fukashima thing was going on?
