RF Safe Amplifies Voter Awareness Campaign, Emphasizes Urgent Health Risks from RF Radiation

RF Safe, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about the potential health risks of radiofrequency (RF) radiation, has launched a voter awareness campaign titled “A Vote for Kamala Harris Is a Vote for Brain Cancer.” The campaign aims to inform the public about what RF Safe describes as critical issues regarding outdated RF radiation safety standards and the urgent need for regulatory reform.

According to John Coates, founder of RF Safe, the rapid expansion of wireless technology—including 5G networks and an increasing number of cell towers—has led to exponentially higher exposure to RF radiation. Coates asserts that prolonged exposure poses serious health risks, including brain tumors, cancer, and neurological disorders.

“The science is clear,” Coates stated. “Multiple studies have indicated that current RF radiation safety guidelines are insufficient to protect public health, especially given the technological advancements since these standards were set.”

Concerns Over Outdated FCC Guidelines and Court Orders

RF Safe highlights that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continues to rely on safety guidelines established in 1996. The organization points out that these guidelines focus solely on the thermal effects of RF radiation and do not account for non-thermal biological effects, which recent studies suggest may have significant health implications.

“The FCC continues to use outdated standards despite being court-ordered to update them after the courts reviewed a substantial body of scientific evidence indicating potential health risks,” Coates said. “It’s imperative that these guidelines be updated to reflect modern science.”

In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the FCC had failed to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect against harmful effects of exposure to RF radiation unrelated to cancer. RF Safe asserts that the Biden-Harris administration has not enforced this mandate, leaving the public without updated protections.

Scientific Studies Raising Alarms

The campaign references several key studies, including a decade-long, $30 million investigation by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP). This study reported findings of increased cancer rates in lab animals exposed to RF radiation levels similar to those emitted by cell phones. Additionally, the Ramazzini Institute in Italy conducted research that corroborated the NTP’s findings, showing similar results at even lower exposure levels.

In 2024, a study analyzing tumors from the Ramazzini Institute’s research found morphological similarities and shared genetic mutations between tumors in rats and certain human cancers, further suggesting a potential link between RF radiation exposure and cancer in humans.

Criticism of the Current Administration

RF Safe criticizes the Biden-Harris administration for what it perceives as inaction on these concerns. The organization alleges that funding for the NTP’s research was diverted to military projects, effectively halting critical studies into the health effects of RF radiation.

“Redirecting funds away from essential cancer research sends a troubling message about the administration’s priorities regarding public health,” Coates remarked.

The organization contends that Vice President Kamala Harris has aligned herself with policies that allow the telecommunications industry to operate under outdated safety standards, potentially putting millions at risk.

Calls to Action Ahead of the Election

As the election approaches, RF Safe urges voters to consider candidates’ positions on RF radiation safety. The organization highlights the contrasting stances of other political figures who have advocated for updated safety standards and increased research funding.

RF Safe’s campaign calls for:

• Updating FCC Safety Guidelines: Revising standards to incorporate current scientific research on both thermal and non-thermal effects of RF radiation.
• Restarting NTP Research: Reinstating and expanding the National Toxicology Program’s studies on RF radiation to inform future safety regulations.
• Ensuring Regulatory Independence: Reducing corporate influence over the FCC to prioritize public health in regulatory decisions.

“We believe that voters have the power to effect change by supporting candidates who prioritize public health over corporate interests,” Coates stated. “Our future depends on the actions we take today to address these pressing concerns.”

Highlighting a Vast Body of Scientific Research

John Coates, founder of RF Safe, emphasizes that the concern over RF radiation is not based on a handful of studies but on thousands of peer-reviewed papers indicating non-thermal bioeffects. These studies suggest that exposure to cell phone-level electromagnetic radiation may pose significant health risks, including cancer, neurological disorders, and reproductive issues.

“There is a substantial body of research indicating potential health risks associated with electromagnetic radiation at levels emitted by cell phones and other wireless devices,” Coates stated. “It’s absurd to dismiss these potential risks when so much credible scientific evidence exists.”

Key studies and reports referenced by RF Safe include:

• Interphone Study: A multinational case-control study examining the relationship between mobile phone use and brain tumors.
• Hardell Group Studies: Research led by Dr. Lennart Hardell, indicating an association between long-term mobile phone use and certain types of brain tumors.
• CERENAT Study: A French study that found a higher risk of brain tumors among heavy mobile phone users.
• U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP): A $30 million, decade-long study that reported increased cancer rates in lab animals exposed to RF radiation.
• Ramazzini Institute Study: An Italian study that corroborated the NTP’s findings at even lower exposure levels.
• REFLEX Project: A European Union-funded research project that observed DNA damage in cells exposed to RF radiation.
• BioInitiative Report: A comprehensive review by an international group of scientists summarizing over 1,800 studies on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields.

Misclassification Hindering Medical Advancements

RF Safe argues that the misclassification of RF radiation risks has not only public health implications but also hampers medical progress. Recent reviews suggest that RF-EMF treatment has untapped therapeutic potential, particularly in targeting cancer cells while minimizing adverse effects on healthy tissue.

“This may be one of the most crucial issues of our modern era,” Coates asserted. “Advancements in RF radiation research show biological interactions beyond thermal effects, opening doors for life-saving medical interventions.”

An example cited is the FDA-approved TheraBionic treatment, which employs RF radiation at power levels significantly lower than those emitted by cell phones. This treatment has effectively managed inoperable liver cancer through non-thermal interactions at the cellular or molecular level, including resonance effects and modulation of the immune system.

Calls for Immediate Regulatory Action

RF Safe contends that current Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines are outdated and fail to account for non-thermal biological effects. The organization emphasizes that the FCC has been court-ordered to update these standards after judicial review of substantial scientific evidence indicating potential health risks.

“The FCC continues to use outdated standards despite being court-ordered to update them,” Coates said. “It’s imperative that these guidelines be updated to reflect modern science.”

Additionally, RF Safe criticizes the diversion of funding from the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) cancer research, which was halted under the current administration. The organization calls for the immediate reinstatement and expansion of NTP’s studies to provide a scientific basis for new safety regulations.

Critique of the Current Administration

The voter awareness campaign underscores RF Safe’s concerns regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’s alignment with policies that the organization believes allow the telecommunications industry to operate under outdated safety standards. RF Safe asserts that this poses significant health risks to the public.

“Voting for candidates who support the status quo on RF radiation could have dire consequences for public health,” Coates warned. “We need leaders who will prioritize public health over corporate interests.”

Advocacy for Updated Safety Standards and Research Funding

RF Safe’s campaign advocates for several key actions:

1. Updating FCC Safety Guidelines: Revising standards to incorporate current scientific research on both thermal and non-thermal effects of RF radiation.
2. Restarting NTP Research: Reinstating and expanding the National Toxicology Program’s studies on RF radiation to inform future safety regulations.
3. Ensuring Regulatory Independence: Reducing corporate influence over the FCC to prioritize public health in regulatory decisions.

Engaging the Public Ahead of the Election

As the election approaches, RF Safe urges voters to consider candidates’ positions on RF radiation safety. The organization highlights the importance of electing officials who are committed to updating safety guidelines based on current scientific research and who will reinstate funding for critical health studies.

“This election is more than a political contest; it’s a referendum on our priorities as a nation,” Coates stated. “Do we value the health of our citizens, or do we allow corporate interests to dictate policies that put us at risk?”

Candidate Stances: Know Where They Stand

Understanding where candidates stand on RF-EMF safety and research is vital for voters concerned about public health and technological advancement. RF Safe is compiling information on the positions of key candidates:

• Kamala Harris

Despite the 2021 U.S. Court of Appeals ruling that the FCC had failed to properly justify maintaining outdated RF radiation exposure guidelines, the Biden-Harris administration has allowed these antiquated standards to persist. Rather than enforcing the court’s mandate to reassess these guidelines in light of new scientific evidence, the administration has remained passive, effectively allowing the FCC to continue neglecting public health.

What’s worse, under Vice President Kamala Harris, the National Toxicology Program (NTP)—which conducted one of the most comprehensive studies linking RF radiation to cancer—was allowed to run out of funding. This halted further research that could have provided even more concrete evidence that the current FCC guidelines fail to protect the public, especially vulnerable populations like children.

In short, Harris has not made any effort to safeguard public health from a threat that has been clearly recognized by the courts. Her inaction has left millions, including children, exposed to potential risks from RF radiation, even as scientific and legal findings demand urgent reform.

Voting for Harris in 2024 is not just a vote for corporate interests—it’s a vote that could directly impact the public’s health, putting millions at risk of developing brain tumors and other serious conditions.

• Donald Trump

During his first term as president, Donald Trump’s FCC appointees maintained the status quo, favoring corporate interests in the rollout of 5G technology. One of his key appointees, Ajit Pai, a former Verizon lawyer, was criticized for not prioritizing public health in updating RF radiation safety standards. This approach allowed the telecommunications industry to push forward without proper oversight, perpetuating outdated safety guidelines set in 1996, long before today’s wireless technology boom.

However, in his current campaign, Trump has acknowledged his past mistakes. Through discussions with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump has expressed a commitment to rectifying these oversights. Both figures have recognized the long-standing issue of regulatory capture at the FCC, where the agency has been influenced by the industries it is supposed to regulate. This capture has led to decades of inaction on RF radiation safety standards despite growing scientific evidence linking RF exposure to cancer, neurological disorders, and other health risks.

In this campaign, Trump has vowed to team up with RFK Jr MAHA:

• Restore funding for the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) research on RF radiation, which was halted during the Biden administration despite findings linking RF radiation to cancer.
• Overhaul the FCC, breaking the stronghold of the telecommunications industry and ensuring that public health is a priority.
• Update RF safety standards to reflect the latest scientific evidence on both thermal and non-thermal effects of RF radiation.

With RFK Jr.’s expertise and relentless advocacy in holding regulatory agencies accountable, Trump sees an opportunity for real change. A Trump-Kennedy partnership would focus on reforming the FCC, ensuring that it serves public health rather than corporate profits. Trump’s promise not to repeat the mistakes of his first term signals a potential shift in the government’s approach to RF radiation safety, offering hope for long-overdue reform in 2024.

• Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

In stark contrast to Harris, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been a tireless advocate for RF radiation safety. His 2021 lawsuit against the FCC resulted in a historic court ruling that the agency had “failed to justify” its outdated safety standards. Kennedy has long pushed for a complete overhaul of these guidelines, emphasizing the need for regulatory bodies to recognize the dangers posed by non-thermal RF radiation exposure.

Kennedy’s stance is firmly rooted in science. He has pointed to major studies, including the NTP’s decade-long investigation, which found increased rates of brain and heart tumors in animals exposed to cell phone radiation. Kennedy has also criticized the FCC’s cozy relationship with the telecommunications industry, calling for independent research and stricter oversight to protect the public from the dangers of wireless radiation.

A vote for Kennedy in 2024 is a vote for updated safety guidelines and a government that prioritizes public health over corporate profits.
