24. Lol... the part where it applies to the conversation.
You might try reading before replying.

There is no "clear statistical evidence" for a particular person hundreds of miles away.

If the person lived twenty miles away and developed thyroid cancer you would have pretty "clear statistical evidence" that Chernobyl was the cause (though you could still be wrong, it would at least be reasonable). But immune disorders in Sweden? Did they even increase by 5% (after factoring out AIDS)? There is no "clear statistical evidence" that could possibly point any one case toward that cause. There are quite a few environmental sources of radiation in Sweden.
