My more than four decades of research in public health has taught me to be cautious about over-zealous fears or promises when it comes to new technologies. Rather than trust the well-written screed of a Harvard undergrad that spent his summer working on radar, I recommend relying on one of the founders of the field of bioelectromagnetics and a major contributor to the IEEE, James Lin, who recently concluded that the latest scientific findings on wireless radiation from the U.S. Toxicology Program and other reputable sources provide strong evidence that microwave radiation from cellphones should be regarded as a likely cause of cancer in humans, writing in The IEEE Microwave Magazine. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8866792 .

Unexplained increases in rectal, testicular and thyroid cancer in persons under age 40 may well have many explanations, but one factor that merits serious investigation is proliferating exposure to cellphone radiation. A Yale University study recently noted that those with several common specific genetic mutations have more than doubled risk of thyroid cancer with regular cell phone use.

Every drug in use today was first tested on animals. Thus, we test animals to predict impacts on humans and devise appropriate strategies. When it comes to the potential impacts of wireless radiation on health, why insist on proof of human harm before taking steps to limit exposures?
