So, FCC says Cell Phone Towers pose no health issues and has allowed them to be constructed, basically everywhere.
Do we take FCC's words even though many researches and studies have shown noticeable and replicable non-thermal health effects? Has FCC focused its studies on "looking for the wrong things"?
These are a few of the many "mistakes" of our government and various authorities we trust. We can easily draw parallels to the case of Cell Phone Towers near schools and large groups of children.
1. Thalidomide - estimated 10K - 20K birth defects in 1950s-1960s worldwide. Numbers unknown in the USA but much less than other countries because one person on FDA committee withheld her approval. (see post)
2. Lead Poisoning -
A) Lead Paint - focus of studies was wrong, ignoring airborne. Slow and delayed national legislation.
B) Leaded Gasoline - ignoring deaths and illnesses in 1924. Industry dominated investigatory committee. Surgeon General ruled in 1926, "no good grounds for prohibiting" even though panel's conclusion was "seven months was not sufficient to produce detectable symptoms of lead poisoning in experimental subjects because of the very slow gestation of that toxicological syndrome." By 1970s when EPA finally started phasing down leaded gasoline, lead was already in the air, water and soil. (see post)
3.Tobacco
4. Agent Orange
