ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
This is a second person account, but the person in reference is dead so he cannot speak for himself. I and concerned neighbors picketed a church for two years, because of a proposed cell tower on church property, that would materially impact our neighborhood because of it close proximity to our homes. One Sunday morning Jerry, a local coach and teacher approx 50 years old (and his 12 year old son) approached me on the the picket line and asked me if I felt the WIFI in his classroom and the headset and phone he constantly had next to his head when coaching could have caused the Gioblastoma he had in his brain. I was not versed in what teachers are subject to in our district, nor did I know enough to give Jerry any kind of appropriate answer, I gave Jerry some websites to go to and felt badly that I at the time was not educated enough to give Jerry some answers. He was concerned that the WIFI and Headset and close phone usage may have caused this. Jerry Died in 2024 of geoblastoma at the age of 50 leaving a young family. I am no expert, but is a teacher standing between the WIFI and 25 laptops and probably 25 phones eminating signal a problem. That is something teachers should be concerned about. I knew nothing about this in 2022. Jerry is prematurely dead, when are we going to start really looking at this. A data base of to be able to see these complaints and possible causes would be a great tool and a great start to pinpointing world wide proximitey, assumed cause, outcome. It sickens me to see the Jerry's of the world simply forgotten for something no one told them was a concern.
