The age-old adage First Do No Harm should be the tempering goal of not only medicine, but government and industry, especially when they team up to deploy new technologies, set policies and serve the people.

This blog exists to reveal and analyze areas in which these powerful groups are failing to "first do no harm."

FCC questions if protecting children from RF damage is "useful or counterproductive" = WRONG QUESTION

Microwave News (MWN) announced that the FCC has now "issued a package of rules and information requestst related to RF health and safety. The document is long and complex."
 
See their "short take" for the basic information.
 
MWN includes the following quote from the new FCC rules:

One of the key issues on the table is whether there is a need for precautionary policies, specifically to protect children (see ¶¶5-7 and ¶¶236-243):
[W]e ask whether any precautionary action would be either useful or counterproductive, given that there is a lack of scientific consensus about the possibility of adverse health effects at exposure levels at or below our existing limits. [¶6]
 

THE CORRECT QUESTION TO ASK IS:
"We ask whether precautionary actions should be implemented to potentially save lives despite the fact there is a lack of scientific consensus, which is divided down lines of industry-funded and independent studies. We also ask if it is ethical for regulatory bodies to ignore thousands of recent peer-reviewed studies and medical experts, both pediatric and environmental medicine practitioners, warning of unacceptable risks, especially to our most vulnerable populations, and including DNA damage - which could impact human life forever." 
 
Imagine the FCC continues to ignore at least half the science.
Say the chance was 50/50 that even as we speak
non-thermal pulsed microwaves/radiofrequencies were damaging your
family members' DNA, interrupting their heart and neurological function,
stunting fetal brains, shrinking children's cognitive abilities,
seeding cancers, and basically destroying people's quality
and quantity of life through sleep problems, eye, sperm problems,
unnecessary biological anxiety/depression/nervousness/irritability,
unnecessary medicines they wouldn't have needed,
unnecessary chronic and unusual health problems.

Say the odds of harm were 50/50 and one day next year, or five years down the road
"they" found out that they were 99% WRONG.
Oops, says the FCC.
Oops, says the industry.
Oops oops says the healthcare system
that denied any problem,
Oh, no, say consumers
who were not warned
or did not listen when they were.

Since when is technology more important than life?
Since when is it "counterproductive" to protect the vulnerable?

Poetry against smart meters

Poets have begun pouring out expressions against forced smart meters. If you know of any others, please let us know so we can post them. (all copyrights retained by the authors.)

Dear Someone,
Please pull the
cell towers
down in my
neighborhood
so I can
concentrate
enough to
do homework

Please turn off
the Wi-Fi
at my school
so I don’t
have to take
medicine
for my heart

And please change
back our smart
meters to
safer ones
so mom can
stop sleeping
in her car
on the street

Ode to the Toxic Smart Meter



Smartmeter Poem: “The Devil” by Ellen Cecil

Adapted from an original Poem by Anonymous

 
 
Wish List (of people sensitive to microwave emissions)

We yearn for just a few towns with less cell towers, Wi-Fi and smart meters
where we could live without getting sick. If not towns then how about
neighborhoods with people who care about our needs. No such
places? We’d welcome a sprinkling of rural houses out of
range of wireless broadband. With no guarantee of that,
we would accept one fully shielded room in our homes
or apartments if we could afford it – but many of us
can’t. Okay, okay, we understand, you won’t
give up your gadgets and apps so we must
take what we can get: the only
microwave-safe abodes,
6-foot deep in the
grassy slope.

FCC negligence on enforcing wireless antenna limits EXPOSED: workers and public AT RISK


The wireless industry's failure to comply with FCC regulations protecting the public and workers from RF Radiation exposure is exposed in this intelligent INVESTIGATIVE REPORT by the EMR Policy Institute. They did numerous professional level measurements at antenna sites and document their correspondance and calls to FCC and wireless providers to get safety information and enforcement.
Share this press release and these shocking videos with lawmakers, the media, public safety officials, wireless workers and your dear ones. American workers and the public deserve better than this.
