An interesting article today discussing the possibility, according to a microwave warfare expert, that the wide-spread introduction of wireless internet in schools and the household, may have long-term detrimental effects on human health.
As usual the government health agency tells us that there is insufficient research to prove that it is damaging to human (and especially children’s) health.
As always they (and most governments are the same) are ignoring the most important issue which is that there is also insufficient research and evidence to prove that it is not dangerous to human health.
Why should we be the guinea pigs? Why should governments trust industry funded testing and self-regulation when there is an extensive history of industry manipulating research results and hiding evidence in order to release a product that will provide a greater profit margin or develop a new income stream. The government benefits because they gather taxes, it is a future government that is left to deal with the problem and the consequent health related financial impact.
There are a lot of things on the market that we do not need, we should insist that anything introduced for human and animal use is proven to be safe for immediate and long-term heath. If companies really had to prove that something was safe there would be far less toxic junk in the world as the returns would no be worth their investment.
