Internet can be as dangerous in its own way as radiation

There have been concerns about technology dating back to the 19th-century Luddites, who opposed the industrial revolution. In recent years, however, the concern has been amplified by the considerable advance of technology. In particular, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the founder of Children’s Health Defense [CHD], has become a lightning rod for controversy, especially regarding his concern about vaccine safety vs effectiveness. Thus, when HHS recently released a revised schedule reducing recommended childhood immunizations from 17 to 11, not including the experimental, risky COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, whose effectiveness is questionable, but whose side effects are demonstrable, a chorus of Cassandras, supported by Big Pharma, warned that children would die. Never mind that the new schedule is the same as that of Denmark, whose children aren’t at elevated risk. Never mind that the youngest children, whose probability of catching COVID is practically infinitesimal, are in greater danger from serious complications arising from the vaccine than from the disease itself. Never mind that parents are advised to consult with their children’s pediatrician about which vaccinations to perform… We could go on and on, but it would take a full-length column to discuss the issue adequately. Our concern here is a less widely reported but equally troublesome question, of special interest to me as a recovering physicist, as to whether microwave radiation from the newest 5G (fifth generation) cell phones is hazardous to our health.

As a preliminary note, there is a world of difference between the radiation that is essentially confined to the interior of a properly shielded microwave oven and the radiation emitted by a cell phone held up to one’s ear in close proximity to the brain. Like other radiation, the primary issue is in the incidence of cancer. Regarding electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, CHD has a long list of studies, which produced some troubling results. First, the radiation-induced symptoms for earlier 2G and 3G (generation) phones were already hazardous.........
