If nothing else, the effects of nuclear radiation is less predictable than promoted by official sources.
A lot of it is how your body deals with cell repair and dna error checking, and that is not homogenous across everyone.
There was a video circulating on the internet a while ago of some guy who was supposedly a scientist on the Manhattan project saying that nuclear radiation is less harmful than the authorities let on. I am not sure if this is true or not. I guess it would be interesting if it is, but I sort of don't care, because radiation does cause cancer and whatever. It may just be that it occurs at lower rates than we are told.
So I distinguish between that sort of conspiracy, that nukes are actually less harmful in a long term fashion (fallout, etc.) than we are told, with the ones that say they either don't exist at all or work vastly differently (i.e. the explosions are smaller). The "nukes aren't real" ones generally come from the same places that have claimed to have "falsified the radius" (of the earth). They have not, so I won't be taking their advice about the safety of nuclear radiation.
They deny all their fears, which makes it hard to take them at face value. Space is scary, ok there's no space. The depths of the earth are creepy so earth has no depth. Scared of disease, germs are fake. Scared of nukes, uranium is a hoax.
There's no argument, just denial of things that are frightening. Like ostriches, in a way.
That's an interesting way to view it. I generally just thought of all of this as people falling into the "everything is a conspiracy" mindset, with the added complication that the governments of the world definitely have an interest in discrediting the "truth seeking" people. So basically there are absurd conspiracies that get promoted and then people who tend to view everything as a conspiracy believe them. The mother of all of these is flat earth, which seems to trace back over a century with Samuel Rowbotham.
But yeah, there is probably a human aspect to this too that a conspiracy is a convenient way to dismiss something scary.
