Consider the implications: I've known people whose insulin pumps shut off when they're in a crowd of cell phone users. I know of a man whose cardiac pacemaker kept malfunctioning when "smart" meters were installed his neighborhood. The pacemaker didn't function properly until analog meters were restored to his home and his neighbors' homes.
I know of a man who had a cardiac pacemaker and a deep brain stimulator. Then, he got a cochlear implant. The signals from these implants interfered with each other, causing this man--who happens to be an MD--tremendous discomfort. His surgeons suggested repairing his home's electrical system. They did not believe that implants could interfere with each other. They can.
I know a diabetic who was hospitalized for ketoacidosis, excess blood acids. Her blood pressure did not normalize until the wireless heart monitor clipped to her robe was removed and replaced with a corded one.
I'm not saying that the wireless monitor kept her sick. I'm saying that we need to take a pause: No new deployment of an EMR-emitting device until it is proven harmless for pregnant women, infants, children, people with medical implants, 200 pound males and bee colonies--whether exposure lasts for a few seconds per day or continues 24/7.
We also need a regulatory environment that protects our health and ecosystem.
I'm especially concerned about the risks of EMR exposure to children. In 2014, Dr. Hugh Taylor, the head of Yale Medical School's ob/gyn department, warned pregnant women and children that exposure to cell phone and Wi-Fi radiation may increase aggressive behavior in children.
After schools install or upgrade their Wi-Fi, parents and teachers report that some children begin bleeding from their noses and ears. Some go on beta-blockers for high blood pressure. Some get strange rashes and become constantly nauseous. In a Canadian school district, several teenagers had heart attacks. Rather than eliminate the Wi-Fi, this school district installed defibrillators, as if teenaged heart attacks are normal.
Other countries have are taking proactive measures: The Israeli Supreme Court is considering banning Wi-Fi in schools.
