The smoking analogy is not nonsense.
Also, you said the study is flawed, so how can you use its findings to support your loony conspiracy theory conclusion?
That ridiculous "loony" Nature article asserted that astronauts that purportedly went to the moon suffered from elevated cardiovascular diseases when compared with astronauts that hadn't. It was a laughable, dubious and desperate attempt to use pseudo-scientific (biomedical authority) and the article was justifiably ridiculed because the findings had no academic merit whatsoever. But if that is the scientific reference used by believers, then are slain by their own sword.
Meanwhile, the radiation hazard is considered by NASA themselves to be the actual barrier to safe moon travel. The problem is that they impute that there was no cosmic radiation danger at the time when all this moon travel and visitation took place. This is a preposterous claim. Humans couldn't leave the magnetosphere (traversal of radiation belts, notwithstanding) and enter deep space in full exposure to the Solar Wind and cosmic rays from outer space. Not in the 60s / 70s and probably not, now.
