A commenter describing medical and research training requests more study before wider 5G and 6G deploymen…

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I have an M.D. degree and am also a graduate of Harvard Medical School's Global Clinical Scholars Research Training program. and have read some of the research to date on possible adverse effects of EMFs, RF radiation, and wireless radiation exposure and have concerns for my own health and the health of my family. Based on research that I have read to date, I believe that HHS should further investigate. Because of my concerns about 5G wireless radiation, when I needed a new phone recently, I purchase a 4G phone which was somewhat difficult to obtain because almost every company has "upgraded" to 5G, and I have read that we are rushing toward 6G now, without sufficient research on the human health effects, though what is available to read is highly concerning in my opinion. Although I have not been personally involved in radiation research, my research training at Harvard has trained me to read research critically, and I believe what we do know to date should urge us to investigate the potential for harm before we rush headlong into an even higher potential level of risk.. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.
