RFK Jr., the MAHA Report, and the Dangerous Game of Delay

Why America’s Children Can’t Wait Another Century for Wireless Safety

History Repeating Itself: The Century-Long Deception

In the late 1800s, when public health first realized cigarettes posed a threat to children, government officials acted—but not by regulating the industry. Instead, they merely banned cigarette sales to minors. It took an entire century—nearly 100 years of avoidable harm—before explicit warnings of cancer and heart disease appeared on cigarette packages in the 1980s.

Today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s proposal to ban cell phones in schools, while acknowledging radiation risks, feels chillingly familiar. Similarly, the recent 2025 MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) report’s cursory handling of electromagnetic field (EMF) risks feels more like symbolic action than serious reform.

Why is history repeating itself? Because just as with Big Tobacco, delaying meaningful regulation is politically expedient. Superficial measures provide the illusion of care, all the while allowing powerful industries—this time trillion-dollar telecom giants—to evade genuine accountability for another generation.

Smoke and Mirrors: RFK Jr.’s Phone Ban is a Distraction

While RFK Jr.’s proposal to ban cell phones in schools initially seems reasonable, it’s crucial to see this move for what it really is: a delay tactic. By focusing solely on children’s personal device usage, it deflects public attention from the far greater issue—corporate-controlled microwave radiation infrastructure that relentlessly exposes children everywhere they go.

Cell towers, routers, and wireless networks emit continuous radiation at biologically active levels, compromising mitochondrial health and driving metabolic, neurological, and autoimmune diseases. Banning handheld phones while ignoring the invisible towers looming just yards away from classrooms is like banning kids from holding matches in a house that’s already on fire.

This isn’t protecting our children. It’s a smokescreen—pure political theater, just as Big Tobacco once played by limiting cigarette sales to minors rather than regulating cigarettes themselves.

The MAHA Report’s Outdated Science: An Intentional Blind Spot

The MAHA report promised Americans the latest science. Astonishingly, however, it presents no EMF studies newer than 2022, omitting critical recent findings.

MAHA HIDES TRUTH! Uses Outdated Data MAHA cites four papers—Frank 2021, Yu 2021, Melnick 2020, Bodewein 2022—none later than mid-2022.

It omits the WHO “high-certainty” reviews released in 2024 (male fertility) and 2025 (cancer).

The most groundbreaking studies, like the Ramazzini Institute and National Toxicology Program (NTP) reports, it should be noted that their most important findings were absent. Both studies confirm non-linear, low-level radiation effects with catastrophic health implications at exposures far lower than previously imagined.

In other words, the MAHA report is dangerously behind the science, ignoring clear evidence that even low-level, chronic EMF exposure from towers hundreds—even thousands—of feet away is harmful.

Why would such a report ignore such crucial and recent findings? Because outdated science is easier to manage politically. It avoids confronting industry-backed narratives, allowing policy makers to claim they’re “looking into” EMF concerns while actually maintaining the status quo.

Corporate Influence: The MAHA Report’s Selective Blindness

Most disturbingly, the MAHA report highlights corporate biases in pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and processed foods but mysteriously ignores the best-documented corporate distortion of them all: wireless-industry funding bias. Extensive analyses by Henry Lai and Huss et al. prove industry-funded EMF studies consistently underreport harm compared to independent research.

Yet, the MAHA authors chose silence, ignoring decades of corporate manipulation designed to confuse the public and delay meaningful regulation. This selective blindness ensures the wireless industry continues profiting unchecked, externalizing immense health costs onto families and communities.

Section 704: A Constitutional Crisis Fueled by Industry

At the root of this crisis is Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, effectively preventing local communities from resisting cell towers based on health concerns. This unconstitutional provision violates our First Amendment rights and Tenth Amendment local control, safeguarding telecom giants’ profits over public health.

Meanwhile, the FCC—an agency without medical professionals—continues relying on decades-old thermal-only standards that ignore mountains of modern biological evidence. These fraudulent standards were never designed for safety but for profit protection.

Public Law 90-602: Ignored and Defunded

Public Law 90-602 explicitly demands continuous research and regular safety updates for radiation-emitting technologies. Yet, following the groundbreaking NTP study proving clear evidence of RF-induced cancers, the Biden administration defunded the program, actively ignoring federal law and enabling ongoing public harm.

The New Scientific Reality: Nonlinear Biological Harm

Critically, recent research—including the NTP and Ramazzini studies—reveals EMF harm is not linear. Contrary to FCC assumptions (“more radiation equals more harm”), lower doses of radiation can paradoxically cause greater harm due to intricate biological interference, entirely independent of thermal heating effects. This demolishes the outdated thermal-only paradigm that underpins current guidelines.

Further, studies now highlight the “Four-Hour Worst Effect”—revealing short intermittent radiation exposures, like those experienced by students at schools, cause significant oxidative stress without allowing adequate cellular recovery.

Ethical Imperative: Children as Our Moral Responsibility

Our children, whose thin skulls and rapid cell divisions render them especially vulnerable, bear the brunt of these corporate-driven decisions. It is morally indefensible to continue subjecting them to chronic radiation while waiting for incremental solutions and “further studies.” Immediate, decisive action isn’t just responsible—it is ethically required.

Real Leadership Demands Bold Action, Not Symbolic Gestures

Mr. Kennedy, the time for incremental, politically convenient policies has passed. Americans trusted you to confront corporate capture head-on. You must act swiftly, decisively, and courageously:

1. Repeal or Amend Section 704: Restore communities’ constitutional rights immediately.

2. Replace FCC Fraudulent Standards: Adopt biologically based safety guidelines recognizing nonlinear biological harm.

3. Re-fund and Restart the NTP: Fully comply with Public Law 90-602 to ensure continual, independent EMF safety research.

4. Mandate Li-Fi and Safer Technologies: Shift away from microwave radiation toward safer communication technologies immediately.

5. Investigate Corporate Capture: Launch a full congressional investigation into how telecom industries shaped harmful EMF regulations.

RFK Jr., Don’t Repeat Big Tobacco’s Deadly Mistake

In the 1880s, politicians banned cigarettes for children while allowing Big Tobacco free reign, delaying regulation until the 1980s—a century of tragedy. Your proposed cell-phone ban mirrors this dangerous delay. Don’t repeat history.

America’s children urgently deserve genuine protection, not another century-long wait. Their lives and health demand more than symbolic gestures. It demands real change.

RFK Jr., the ball is in your court. America’s parents and children are watching closely.

Come to Bauder Elementary School in Seminole, Florida. Stand beneath the massive cell tower just 465 feet from my daughter Melanie’s classroom. See firsthand the danger our children face every day.

Then show the courage needed. Take real, immediate action. End the delay. Protect our children now—not a century later.

Immediate Actions You Can Take:

• Contact Congressional representatives demanding repeal or reform of Section 704.

• Call for independent EMF oversight by medically qualified agencies.

• Demand immediate reinstatement of NTP research funding and updated safety standards.

• Advocate for safer technologies—Li-Fi mandates for all devices.

• Share this message widely, exposing corporate manipulation and demanding immediate accountability.

Our children’s health cannot wait another century. Real leadership must happen today.
