  1. The FDA has turned into a cross between my horoscope hippy neighbor and my crazy conspiracist uncle.

  2. “You are going to have to smear the beef tallow on the phone to block radiation. Just trust me.” – Excerpt from scientrific advice from the administration 🎪

  3. And still silence for PFAS, agricultural contamination, heavy metals and micro plastics in our water

    “OMFG. If the masses don’t have cellphones, you can’t keep track of them, RFK … wake the fuk up and get with the progrom.”

  5. omg, RADIO WAVES != radioisotope radiation, and guess what, they’re all around us — cell phone towers, FM/AM radio broadcasts, HDTV broadcasts, home wi-fi, etc…

  6. This will be how they will control the narrative. Plan to have the population fed only approved messages, news, content.

    Feels like they want to erode trust in using cellphones. 

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

    Cities are under invasion/occupation by federal forces. 

    Elected representatives and community leaders are doing nothing. 

    When will it be too much?

  8. 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….

    About time.  When I was younger my cousin got a cell phone.  And you know what happened?  15 years later he died of cancer.

    Someone needs to investigate this more.

  10. 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.

  11. Don’t forget to eat beef 3 times per day and to wash it down with gallons of whole milk.

    Vaccines are dangerous.

    Tylenol causes autism.

    If you think these people are serious about anything, you’re dumb as a rock.

  12. He’s working down the list of jackass conspiracy theories. We’re only into the Cs. We got a long way to go before Jewish Space Lasers.
    We are so fuct.

  13. These studies have already been made… maybe if US gov would just stop deleting avery scientific data they put hands on…

  14. Sasquatchasaurus on

    Phones are dangerous in that they allow people to consume stupid conspiracy theories more readily

  15. Imagine being Tim Apple and donating money into an organization that’s going to go on a witch hunt in your profit center.

  16. Let’s just reopen every crack pot conspiracy theory while cutting funding for things that actually matter like cancer research.

  17. I’m so looking forward to the days when the government isn’t taken over by low IQ people

  18. 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.

  19. Long term this might good for America. The people most likely to listen to his idiocy are the people who need a break from right wing bots.

  20. ThirdDimensionGate on

    How about doing something about all the toxic chemicals the new sham EPA is approving to poison our food or the change in environmental pollution rules that now only consider the cost to businesses and the not the health damage to the public???

    Anyone who really thinks maha or maga is doing anything beneficial is a willfully ignorant moron

  21. You know what, if this gets MAGAs and right-wingers to drop their rage consumption on social media on their phones, I’m all for it 

  22. Can RFK JR order a study on the health effects of cars? Car centric infrastructure? 

    Never walking literally anywhere might be a reason why Americans are so unhealthy. But 🤷

  23. Emotional_Reading_25 on

    This is good. People dumb enough to listen to anything this guys says should never use their phones again. The world will be a better place.

    As someone who, until recently, worked in research in radiation oncology, every single MD, MDPhD, and PhD medical physicist (all very informed in physics, radiation, oncology, and the effects of radiation on the human body, ALL kept their cell phones in their pockets throughout the day. Do with that what you will

  25. Kindly-Ad-5071 on

    This guy really is just going based on the paranoia and knee jerk reaction to the hearsay he defined himself by as a youth isn’t he.

  26. So… they’re trying to convince people *not* to take their phones everywhere… the phones they’re using to track people in real time and threaten if they “impede” ICE in the process of brutalizing and murdering people…

    Man, these fuck-ups aren’t even good at being fascists. They’re just too stupid to pull their shit together and become a real threat.

  27. Such_Step_7065 on

    RESULTS ARE IN!!! RFK JR Has determined that all cell phones, except the Trump phone, causes brain cancer. Order one now and get a 50% discount on Trump watches.

  28. As someone that used to perform SAR testing this is all BS. It’s been tested extensively and has to meet strict guidelines for human safety that are updated regularly. Just more agenda pushing by the worms in his head.

  29. CurrentlyLucid on

    Before you freak out, I was a cell phone tech for years, spent hours and hours at the sites, way more radiation than your phone. I am fine.

    Settled science from over two decades ago now on the shelf because one worm-riddled idiot can’t be taught science. It’s 1990 all over again.
