Abstract

Abstract Summary

Overview

In 2017, a significant discussion arose concerning the WHO's refusal to acknowledge the health hazards of wireless phone use. A parallel can be seen today with the European Union (EU), who, despite substantial evidence, has not recognized the dangers of radiofrequency radiation. This refusal persists amidst the rollout of 5G technologies known for their adverse health impacts.

Findings

  • Despite clear evidence of harm, the EU continues to ignore expert and scientific appeals for a halt in the deployment of 5G due to its significant health risks.
  • The complex waveforms and millimeter waves of 5G add greatly to the existing electromagnetic pollution, posing severe risks to human health and the environment.
  • Experts tied to the WHO and the EU, with industry conflicts of interest, prioritize economic benefits over health, compromising both human and planetary well-being.

Conclusion

The EU's disregard for the escalating evidence of health impacts from wireless technologies and subsequent inaction on protective measures position it in a similar stance to the WHO—as 'a hard nut to crack.' This necessitates urgent unbiased risk assessments free from industry influence.
