In a recent government meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding the health impacts of Wi-Fi and radio frequency radiation. A speaker highlighted that there are over 10,000 studies indicating potential thermal effects from such radiation, contradicting the common belief that only high levels of exposure can cause harm. The discussion emphasized that human cells function like antennas, regulating electrical currents essential for bodily functions, and that exposure to radiation from cell towers could disrupt these processes.

The speaker recounted a successful lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which had been accused of neglecting the need for updated regulations on radiation exposure. This lawsuit, won during the Trump administration, mandated the FCC to initiate a new rulemaking process to assess the health risks associated with Wi-Fi radiation. However, the speaker criticized the FCC for being influenced by industry lobbyists, suggesting that this has hindered progress on addressing these health concerns.

Paul Roe, an expert invited to the meeting, supported the claims by stating that the scientific community has long been aware of the health effects of electromagnetic radiation. He argued that the prevailing belief that such radiation is harmless is based on flawed reasoning and outdated standards, which were shaped by commercial interests during the rise of microwave technology. Roe asserted that the arguments used to downplay the risks—non-ionizing radiation, low emission levels, and lack of explanatory mechanisms—are scientifically unfounded.

The meeting concluded with a call for more rigorous scientific inquiry into the effects of electromagnetic radiation on human health, emphasizing the need for regulatory bodies to take these findings seriously and act accordingly.
