Mr. President, the health and safety of the American people have been compromised for far too long by a system that defies both science and common sense. Imagine this: we are legally bound to follow a health safety standard that was not created by doctors or scientists but by engineers—engineers whose primary goal was not […]

Mr. President, it is time to address one of the most egregious betrayals of the American people—a betrayal that stems from a broken regulatory framework, unconstitutional laws, and unscientific safety standards that have left our children vulnerable to harm. The SAR guidelines, enforced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), are not only unscientific—they are legally […]
When you pull back the curtain on how wireless safety is regulated in America, you find a perfect storm of legislative failure, corporate capture, and scientific neglect. At the heart of this catastrophe lies Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, a provision that has systematically silenced communities, shielded industry from scrutiny, and forced […]
By John Coates, Founder of RF Safe “I lost one daughter to a tragic birth defect; now I watch my youngest sit 465 feet from a massive cell tower—yet I’m legally barred from speaking a word about health risks.” —John Coates My name is John Coates, and I am the founder of RF Safe. I […]
Why It’s Time to Dismantle the RF Hoax and Demand Accountability Introduction: A Call to Reclaim America’s Greatness and Health In 1996, the United States made decisions that would have far-reaching consequences for public health, constitutional freedoms, and environmental accountability. The passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, particularly Section 704, marked a turning point—one […]
Key Aspects of the Problem Scientific Integrity and Transparency Non-Thermal Effects: The outdated focus on thermal effects of RF radiation has blinded regulators and the public to mounting evidence of non-thermal biological impacts, including DNA damage, oxidative stress, and neurological disruptions. Stalled Research: The defunding of critical studies like the National Toxicology Program (NTP) research […]
In the spring of 1993, as headlines warned of possible links between cell phone radiation and brain tumors, two FDA scientists penned a memo that should have sparked a seismic shift in public health policy. Instead, Drs. Mays Swicord and Larry Cress’s findings, which stated that microwaves could “accelerate the development of cancer,” were tucked […]
In the realm of public-health advocacy, few stories resonate with the emotional depth and scientific rigor behind RF Safe. Founded by John Coates, RF Safe traces its inception to a life-altering tragedy—the loss of Coates’s daughter, Angel Leigh Coates, to a rare neural tube defect (NTD) at birth. What began as a father’s heartbreak evolved […]
As a parent and an advocate for RF safety, I believe our children’s health and future should be prioritized above all else. Current data from studies like the BioInitiative Report makes it clear: cell towers should not be placed within 500 meters (1,500 feet) of schools to reduce the risk of excessive RF radiation exposure. […]
As a parent, I should have the right to protect my child. But I don’t. My name is John Coates, and I’m the founder of RF Safe. For decades, I’ve worked to educate the public on the dangers of radiofrequency (RF) radiation and advocate for safer technology. But today, I’m not writing as an advocate—I’m […]
