Science is clear that there is harm, and the industry who’s profiting from that harm, it keeps repeating the same lie over and over again in hopes that it becomes the truth. And that lie is that wireless radiation is harmless, and in fact, it’s not.” stated Professor Kent Chamberlin, President of Environmental Health Trust in the CBS8 article.
