Before the roll-out of Wireless technology as 2G and then 3G, 4G, and 5G most of us never had exposure to Radio Frequencies or Dirty Electricity or Magnetic radiation. The only radiation we were routinely exposed to was from medical equipment.

Today five hours on your cell phone exposes you to the radiation of 16 chest x-rays, which is the daily average of Americans. This is only medical comparison you need. The Telecom industry doesn’t want consumers to know the health impacts of wireless tech—which has been documented by the military and scientists since the 1950s when the technology was developed.

The Telecom industry is using the same playbook of Tobacco concerning Lung Cancer and the Fossil Fuel industry concerning Climate Change. Find scientists and journalists who will “soft play” or lie about the effects of the industry, publish enough false information to confuse the public or create doubt.  (See the book Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming  by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway)

Scientists estimate we’re being bombarded with 18 quintillion times the amount of radiation found in nature—that’s 18 zeros. But the Telecom shills will claim that since there are forms of radiation in nature (sunshine!) that we’re okay. We’re not safe. And industry representatives admitted to a US Congressional committee that there have been no safety tests with 5G study its effects on humans –or all life on the planet.

Globally, No Insurance covers EMR Health Claims since 2015

In 2010, the insurance underwriters Lloyd’s of London began following the scientific studies on non-ionizing radiation (NIR) caused by cell phones and the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of all electronics. By 2015, there was a significant body of scientific studies, and Lloyd’s concluded that the health problems caused by non-ionizing radiation would no longer be covered by ordinary insurance policies. The whole insurance industry has followed Lloyd’s lead, classified EMF from electronics as a pollutant, and doesn’t cover health claims.

This would include the microwave radiation and electromagnetic radiation emitted from Smart Meters (AMR, AMI, PLC), from Home Area Network devices and appliances (including AC and thermostats), from Wi-Fi transmitters, from wireless devices in schools, offices, and homes, and from wireless sensors and wireless-connected fire alarms. A “smart” home is a den of NIR.

This means that your employer, school district, and government offices don’t have any liability coverage to cover health claims if your job or location subjects you to radiation that makes you ill. And courts in the EU are holding employers accountable. In the U.S. taxpayers will be paying the legal bills when there’s no insurance coverage for public institutions.

In other words, without our informed consent to being subjected to a pollutant that is dramatically harming our health, we will then be paying the legal bills for the harm it causes us.

RWTH Aachen University in Germany has a database of 39,000+ studies on the effects of wireless technology in English and German. Very little research has been done in the US since the 1980s but heavy research is conducted globally. See the database here.

Do all studies show the adverse effects of EMR? It depends on who funded the study. Professor Henry Lai at the University of Washington looked at the findings of studies and who funded the research. There was an inverse correlation: about 75% of studies funded by Telecom found No effects. If the research was funded independently, about 75% found adverse effects from Radio Frequencies (RF).

When the city of Berkley, California, passed an ordinance requiring retailers of cell phone to post Safety info, the telecom interest group immediately took the city of court. It went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled against Telecom, that the notice wasn’t a violation of Free Speech (if the retailers didn’t agree with the safety notice).

The Communications Act of 1996 hampered local governmental bodies’ rights in controlling telecom, which some communities have overcome, but, in the meantime, we are all being smothered with a pollutant that we can’t see, hear, or smell, and it harms us and every living creature. It may take years (long latency, the insurance industry calls it), but you’re being impacted. And there are multiple bills in Congress these years that would give Telecom more unfettered access for 5G installations.

Until communities organize and reclaim their authority in controlling telecom, as individuals we can (and must) take steps to reduce our exposure to this NIR. Preemptive action is necessary because full recovery from sensitivity and effects or wireless technology is nearly impossible. I haven’t met such a person yet, and that includes myself.
