Protecting public and environmental health even with a lack of evidence of damage from new products and processes is the foundation for the Precautionary Principle. So what happens when the scientific evidence on the dangers of wireless radiation is proven, but public health and safety agencies ignore it?
For scientists, researchers, and public health advocates, you issue a clarion call.
Epidemiological rock stars Dr. John William Frank and Dr. Anthony B. Miller are issuing that call, joining the international appeal of hundreds of scientists for a moratorium on the rollout of 5G networks.
In their first interview ever together, they join EHT President and Founder Dr. Devra Davis to discuss the science of radiofrequency radiation (RF-EMF), the epidemiological evidence for effects, and the precise technology that should be included in studies on the impacts of 5G.
The three will also reveal the ways national telecommunications regulatory authorities use and misuse science to determine RF-EMF safety rules and how they attempt to circumvent conflicts of interest.
Frank, chairman of Public Health Research and Policy at the Usher Institute of Population Health Sciences and Informatics at University of Edinburgh, is one of the world’s leading scientists studying the social and nonscientific determinants influencing public health policies.
In his recent publication, “Electromagnetic fields, 5G and health: what about the precautionary principle?”, published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, Frank notes that despite the claims of scientific advisory committees that there’s no proof of harm, the science is most certainly leaning toward taking a cautious approach.
“Until we know more about what we are getting into, from a health and ecological point of view, those putative gains (from 5G) need to wait,” Frank writes.
Miller, Professor Emeritus at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at University of Toronto and former Director of the Epidemiology Unit at the National Cancer Institute of Canada, has authored hundreds of publications on environmental health and cancer, including research documenting the scientific evidence confirming that wireless radiofrequency is a human carcinogen.
Join the conversation and discover why it’s time for policymakers to halt 5G and to recognize the growing body of scientific evidence on the health effects of RF-EMFs.
