No safety studies have been done on 5G and cell phone science has many parallels to tobacco science. Studies paid for by industry are unlikely to find any evidence of hazard while research funded from independent sources are much more likely to find evidence of harm. Insurance companies are aware of the true EMF risks and refuse coverage to the wireless industry.
The FCC is considered to be a captured agency by Harvard ethicists with prior commissioners having strong ties to industry. For that reason, the agency grants the telecom companies whatever they want in terms of expansion of wireless systems without addressing significant safety concerns. The FDA and EPA which could have a role in regulating health and environmental impacts are also captured. EMF hazards also cause harm to trees, birds, bees, and other insects.
A 2021 lawsuit against the FCC was won by Children’s Health Defense and the Environmental Health Trust. The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled the FCC’s 2019 decision that its 1996 guidelines adequately protect the public from non-cancer harms from 5G and wireless-based technologies was capricious, arbitrary and not evidence-based. Unfortunately, the FCC has ignored the court’s mandate and has not updated its safety guidelines. Please take action to update these standards immediately.
