5G is a Wake up Call

 

Protecting public and environmental health even with a lack of evidence of damage from new products and processes is the foundation for the Precautionary Principle. So what happens when the scientific evidence on the dangers of wireless radiation is proven, but public health and safety agencies ignore it?

For scientists, researchers, and public health advocates, you issue a clarion call.

Epidemiological rock stars Dr. John William Frank and Dr. Anthony B. Miller are joining that call, adding their names to an international appeal by hundreds of scientists for a moratorium on the rollout of 5G networks.

In their first interview ever together, they joined EHT President and Founder Dr. Devra Davis to discuss the science of radiofrequency radiation (RF-EMF), the epidemiological evidence for effects, and the precise technology that should be included in studies on the impacts of 5G.

Frank, chairman of Public Health Research and Policy at the Usher Institute of Population Health Sciences and Informatics at University of Edinburgh, is one of the world’s leading scientists studying the social and nonscientific determinants influencing public health policies.

In his recent publication, “Electromagnetic fields, 5G and health: what about the precautionary principle?”, published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, Frank notes that despite the claims of scientific advisory committees that there’s no proof of harm, the science is most certainly leaning toward taking a cautious approach.

“Until we know more about what we are getting into, from a health and ecological point of view, those putative gains (from 5G) need to wait,” Frank writes.

Miller, Professor Emeritus at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at University of Toronto and former Director of the Epidemiology Unit at the National Cancer Institute of Canada, has authored hundreds of publications on environmental health and cancer, including research documenting the scientific evidence confirming that wireless radiofrequency is a human carcinogen. 

Highlights From the Conversation

 

The telecom industry is one of, if not, the most powerful and profitable industries in the world. The FCC is captured by Telecom and the amount of funding from the telecoms to Democrats and Republicans in Washington, D.C., is rivaling Big Pharma.

• Reliable information is not being provided to the public by those with vested interests. The public must demand arms-length regulatory relationships and base policy on science.

• Myelination, the formation of fatty protective sheets around neurons in the brain, is not fully complete until people are in their mid- to late-20s. Studies show that myelination can be interrupted by the electronic signals from cell phones and yes even airbuds.

 

• A thyroid cancer case control study done at Yale University found that people who used their phone a lot and had a particular and fairly common genetic characteristic had a four-fold increase in thyroid cancer than those who didn’t use their phone as often.

• Saying animal studies don’t prove anything is incorrect. Every agent that we know that produces cancer in people has produced cancer in animals with adequate testing. 

• Honey bees are essential to pollination and agriculture. They are endangered to the point that trucks are driving around with hives to be released in fields where bees can pollinate crops and then they are gathered up and moved to the next field. Studies show 5G mmW exposure fully resonates with honey bees and RF radiation can interfere with their ability to pollinate crops. 

• Your phone is “smart”, the harder it works, the more radiation it puts out. The closer it’s held to you, the more exposure is radiated into your body. They are not directional. When a signal is weak, don’t use a phone unless it really is an emergency.
