False claims of safety and reckless abandonment of the precautionary principle
by Steve Weller, ORSAA, Australia
Reading the latest blogs on BRHP, and witnessing first hand the rhetoric coming from many government and industry representatives about the safety of 5G, I feel compelled as a custodian of the ORSAA RF research database to provide comment.
Misinformation, disinformation and fake news appear to be the sign of the times and claims of safety in relation to 5G (and I would also include 2G, 3G, 4G, 4G LTE etc.) are not supported by any robust scientific evidence. Using airport screening unit emissions and police radar as examples (as ARPANSA has done on its website https://www.arpansa.gov.au/news/misinformation-about-australias-5g-network) to suggest that 5G is not harmful appears to be a sleight of hand. Firstly, the emissions from these devices are nothing like the signals used by 5G technology. 5G will be using complex modulations that are untested for their implications on human health. I feel it is most important that people realise that it is not necessarily the RF carrier wave that causes all the biological effects noted in RF-EMR research but it is often the complex modulation/pulsing of the carrier wave and the varying intensities these signals operate at that appears to make it more bioactive….SNIP
