Cities worldwide as well as entire countries have banned,
delayed, and stopped 5G installation due to health
and safety risks. American opposition continues to increase for
a variety of reasons in addition to health and safety risks (see
1, 2, 3,
4,
5,
6,
7).
Federal agencies and reliable experts have warned that 5G
threatens jobs, national security, public safety, and weather
forecasting accuracy (see
1,
2). Nevertheless, a few months ago, Trump reintroduced his
proposal to have a
nationalized 5G plan and The
Department of Defense (DoD) wants to own and operate it with
Google. American
legislators and
organizations oppose this scenario as well.
On November 24, the U.S. Government Accountability Office
released a report about the controversial technology’s whopping
challenges.
From
Environmental Health Trust:
5G Report Released by the US Government Accountability Office
The United States Government Accountability Office quietly
released a new report “5G Wireless:
Capabilities and Challenges for an Evolving Network” on
November 24, 2020.
GAO identified key challenges could hinder 5G technology;�
Spectrum availability and efficiency, cybersecurity, privacy and
concern over possible health effects. Although the GAO Report does
note the lack of research on the long term health effects of 5G and
cites the Environmental Health Trust et al. versus FCC legal appeal
(footnote 94 on page 41) the report mischaracterizes the body of
scientific evidence and ignores the scientific appeals of hundreds
of experts in the field calling to halt the rollout.
Regarding the lack of human health research on 5G the
GAQ Report states:
“While research on the biological effects of RF energy has
been underway for decades, research on the long-term health effects
of pre-5G technology is ongoing and research on the possibility of
long-term health effects of 5G technology is largely unknown
because the technology is still new and has not been widely
deployed.â€
The GAO Report quotes an NCI scientist on the lack of
adequate human health testing:
“However, no studies have been carried out on the long-term
health effects of high-band 5G frequencies in observational
studies, such as those in settings experienced by the general
public, because the technology has not been deployed for long
enough or widely enough to conduct these studies. According to an
NCI scientist, even after high-band 5G technology has been put into
use in the coming years, the long-term health effects on people, if
any, may not be known for many years later because some health
outcomes could take decades to develop.â€
“In 2008, a committee convened by the National Research
Council (part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering,
and Medicine) reported that further research was needed to
characterize exposure to RF energy in juveniles, young children,
and pregnant women and fetuses in observational studies.97 An NCI
scientist we interviewed reiterated these unknown long-term health
effects for pre-5G technology and with respect to 5G. Further
research was also needed for non-cancer outcomes, such as
developmental and behavioral outcomes, according to the committee
proceedings and the NCI scientist. Observational studies may be
used to study health outcomes that take years and decades to
develop, such as developmental, behavioral, and cancer outcomes.
†page 42
The GAO Report put forward industry friendly
statements downplaying the issue of health effects, lacking
scientific documentation and fully ignoring the published science
finding adverse effects from non thermal levels.
“However, higher frequencies have less penetration into the
human body and therefore are thought to be less of a concern than
lower frequencies.†page 41
“The RF spectrum used in cellular communications has not been
definitively linked to cancer or other health outcomes, according
to FCC and FDA. The lower frequencies of the radio frequency
spectrum that are used for wireless communication, including 5G
communication, are considered “nonionizing radiation†because
these frequencies lack sufficient energy to remove electrons from
atoms and molecules. In contrast, X-rays are considered
“ionizing†radiation, which can have significant human health
effects and are known to increase the risk of cancer. The radio
frequencies used by cellular communications systems can lead to
tissue heating, but is not thought to emit enough RF energy to
cause harmful heating.†page 41 footnote 93
Lack of a Full Evaluation by Federal
Agencies
The GAO Report did clarify that despite what seems to be safety
assurances by the FDA and other organizations the reality is that
“each of these organizations has only reviewed a subset of the
relevant research and, of these organizations, only IEEE updates
its formal assessments regularly.â€
- On the FDA Literature Review “The assessment focused on
cancer-related animal and human studies of frequencies below 6 GHz.
The assessment did not include non-cancer outcomes or frequencies
above 6 GHz.†page 44 - On the National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP) “NCRP reviewed two larger observational
studies in its 1986 review; however, it has not published an update
since [1986].
The GAO created an “explainer video†featuring Tom Wheeler,
former Wireless industry head lobbyist and FCC Chairman. The issue
of health effects are NOT mentioned in the video and EHT executive
director Theodora Scarato calls it “propaganda by our industry
captured governmentâ€. See video

As the GAO report was released just before the Thanksgiving
holiday on November 24, 2020, it’’s release generated no media
attention however this report will be used by government officials
for years.
Dr. Joel Moskowitz
Dr. Joel Moskowitz of the University of California Berkeley
posted
an analysis of the GAO Report:
“How can these officials ignore the results of the government’s
$30 million study which proved that long-term exposure to RFR
caused cancer or the Ramazzini
Institute study which reproduced these results using much lower
intensity RFR? How can they ignore the results of
epidemiologic studies that find increased tumor risk among
heavier cell phone users?â€
“For more than two decades, FDA officials have ignored the
lack of consensus in the scientific community regarding the safety
of RFR. The majority of scientists who study RFR effects now
believe that current RFR national and international safety
standards are inadequate to protect our health. More than 240
scientists from 44 countries who have published over 2,000 papers
in professional journals on electromagnetic fields (EMF) and
biology or health have signed the International EMF Scientist
Appeal which calls for stronger safety standards and health
warnings.â€
“The GAO report also failed to mention the 5G Appeal signed by more than 400
scientists and doctors who have demanded a moratorium on the
deployment of 5G.â€

GAO Explainer Video
The GAO “explainer†video features Tom Wheeler, former head
of the Wireless Industry and FCC Chairman. Notably, health issues
are not mentioned in the video.
Since the National Academies of Sciences has determined that
American Embassy Workers were
definitely harmed by exposure to microwave energy, will this
make a difference in American 5G deployment (see
1,
2,
3)? We can only hope so.
Since 2017 doctors and scientists have been asking for
moratoriums on deployment on Earth and in space (see
1, 2, 3,
4). Since 2018 there have been reports of people and animals
experiencing symptoms and illnesses after 5G has been installed
(see
1,
2,
3,
4). In 2019,
telecom executives gave U.S. congressional testimony that they
had NO scientific evidence that 5G is safe. There is research that
has already determined exposure to 5G
and
other sources of wireless radiation are
NOT SAFE. Exposure also affects animals (see
1,
2),
insects, and plants.
Last year, the
World Health Organization warned that high levels of
Electromagnetic Fields (aka “Electrosmogâ€)
could cause health
issues in a significant percentage of the population.
Electrosmog includes 5G and wireless.
None of the above sounds like it will make America great. Adding
insult to injury, Americans have already paid to have access to
safer
high-speed internet.
