Feels like they also tested taking down comms networks with the Verizon outage.Â

So, for anyone who is thinking “welll… maaaaybe”. No. The answer is just no. It’s not possible. Not even remotely possible. The science is somewhat complicated, but I’ll make a very ELI5 version of it. Your DNA is made up of a bunch of molecules. Molecules are made up of atoms. If a high energy photon of light hits an atom, there is a chance it can knock an electron loose. This is called ionizing, and yes that can give you cancer. However, the only way this can happen is if the actual photon of light has enough energy to actually do that. Only light in the ultra-violet range or light with a shorter wavelength has enough energy to do that. “How far away are radio waves?” you ask. Well they are on the opposite side. A single photon of radio wave length light doesn’t even have close to enough energy to break a nuclear bond of an electron. Their energy level is far below visible light. If a photon hit an atom, it would simply warm it up a bit (a trivial amount too, you would have to stand right in front of one of the most powerful RF antennas on earth for the heat to be significant enough to cause harm). It’s not physically possible for a radio wave at any temperature you are going to find on earth to ionize an atom. End of story.
Also:
1) This has been studied many, many times. No correlation.
2) The amount of radio waves emitted by phones is actually tiny compared to how much used to be emitted. The old brick phones used to emit over 3 Watts of power. Modern phones emit around 0.1 to 0.25 during a phone call. This is due to switching to digital, better protocols, better infrastructure, etc… Less power means your battery lasts longer. So, there was a lot of investment in this. There was no change in cancer rates among phone users. If it caused cancer, we would have seen a huge reduction as the wattage went down. We didn’t.
3) Your body is constantly bombarded by radio waves all the time. Wifi in a house, radio antennas on like… everything. Noise from the big bang (the static on the radio). Bluetooth. Etc….

I really feel that we needs just email random shit to the FDA to see if we can get RFK to announce and study it.
Did you know geese cause diarrhea? No, no not their feces. But the lightly magnetic part of their skull that allows for flight navigation, if a goose stares at you for too long , the magnowaves ™ can cause up to 5% of the US population to shit themselves. Have you ever seen a kid shit themselves at the playground? Was there a flock of geese nearby or overhead? You probably didn’t notice the evil fowls staring that child into a shitstorm.
In conclusion, we need to build windmills nationwide to deter geese. While we are at it, we could use the clean energy for aomething.

I studied Electrical Engineering as an undergraduate, and even took a course that covered how cellular networks function. I have a few questions for Sec. R >!Tapeworm!< FK…
1. Does he understand that cellphones output on the order of 10,000x less energy than cell towers?
2. Does he understand that cell towers output power on the order of a local radio station?
3. Does he understand that local radio station emissions have been around for over a century?
4. Does he understand that not all microwave frequencies are the same as what your home microwave oven produces ***by design***?
These are the questions we all should be asking.
And in case anyone’s asking about (1), I’ll share this: We’ve designed cellphones to be exceptionally low-power devices. Output EM is the most serious drain on your battery (well, after micro GPU/TPU chips, but I need to generalize since not all have that). So to preserve battery life, the output EM power is very faint. And cell towers use a lot of power (non-emission) to use narrow-pass filters & gain modulators so that they can get a clear signal from your phone.
