In Chimera Arc, why weren't the people infected by the bomb?


It's just an hypothesis, but, based on what is shown in the manga, the
situation of these people was different than

> the ones we know that died by the radioactive poisoning:

However, as @eha1234 said in the comments, it's very possible that some people
died by radiation, but, since a lot of people died for many reasons, maybe
these death were not specified among the total. So, maybe the correct answer
is that these people _were_ , in fact, infected, maybe not as strong as the
characters in question, due to reasons mentioned above.
