Exposing the Truth: How FCC Guidelines Have Failed Us Since 1996

The FCC’s radiofrequency (RF) guidelines, established in 1996, have been fundamentally flawed from the beginning. These guidelines ignored a wealth of evidence on non-thermal risks and were designed to serve industry interests rather than protect public health.

The Fraudulent Foundation of FCC Guidelines
The guidelines, based on outdated thermal-only paradigms, were never legitimate. In 1996, substantial evidence already existed showing non-thermal biological effects from RF radiation. Even industry-funded studies indicated potential harm beyond heating effects. The guidelines were crafted by engineers, not medical experts, leading to industry-friendly standards that misrepresented the real health risks.

The Impact on Public Health
By transferring oversight from the EPA, which has medical expertise, to the FCC, which lacks this background, the guidelines have failed to protect the public from the non-thermal effects of RF radiation. This has resulted in a lack of real protection and contributed to a public health crisis.

Conclusion
The time has come to re-examine and overhaul these flawed guidelines. Public health should take precedence over industry interests. It’s essential to ensure that safety guidelines are based on comprehensive scientific evidence and genuinely protect the public.
