United States: The FCC Must Prioritize Public Health Over Telecom Profits

The FCC Must Prioritize Public Health Over Telecom Profits
By The ANH Team, anh-usa.org/, 4 April 2025

For years the FCC has enabled the telecoms industry to treat us like guinea pigs—it’s time to push back. Action Alert!

Listen to the audio version of this article:

• 
  The FCC has been prioritizing telecom profits over public health by failing to update outdated safety standards for wireless radiation, despite growing scientific evidence linking RF exposure to serious health issues like cancer and neurological disorders.

• The agency relies heavily on industry-funded research and self-reported data, with outdated testing protocols that don’t account for children’s vulnerability, while resisting calls for independent testing and transparency.

• Federal actions and proposed legislation have undermined local governments’ ability to regulate 5G infrastructure. We must call for accountability, updated safety guidelines, and a moratorium on 5G expansion until independent research verifies its safety.

Imagine tucking your child into bed at night, unaware that just outside your home, a newly installed 5G tower is exposing your family to levels of wireless radiation that scientists warn could have serious health consequences. Or consider the headache that won’t go away after hours on your smartphone—could it be linked to years of exposure to electromagnetic radiation? While you do your best to protect your loved ones, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is working behind closed doors to make it easier for telecom giants to expand their networks with minimal oversight, all while ignoring growing evidence of health risks. Now, the FCC is asking for public input on regulatory reform—but will it finally prioritize public health over corporate profits, or will it continue to allow the wireless industry to dictate the rules?

20 Minutes [France] corrects on the sly its article on glioblastoma
By : Phonegate Team • 2 Apr 2025

Thanks to Phonegate Alert’s intervention, an initial correction was made to the 20 Minutes article on glioblastomas. We would like to thank the Quebec journalist André Fauteux, who did not hesitate to question the press departments of Santé Publique France (SPF) and the Institut National du Cancer (INCa). However, several major problems remain in the writing of the article, requiring immediate action to re-establish the scientific truth.

INCa’s “imprecise” response

“The only inaccuracy we note in the article concerns the sentence below: “However, the disease remains ‘fairly rare’ in the general population, i.e. 20% of the nearly 5,900 cancers of the central nervous system diagnosed per year according to INCa, and even more so in young people.” This should read “However, the disease remains ‘fairly rare’ in the general population of adolescents and young adults, accounting for 20% of the nearly 5,900 central nervous system cancers diagnosed per year according to INCa”.”

Smartphone and Illness - Commentary

"Smartphone and illness"

Letter of the Day by Meris Michaels published by the Tribune de Genève 2 April 2025 - translation

It is time to consider the potential link between regularly carrying a cell phone in one's trouser pocket and the rising incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults.

A recent study conducted in Chile (De Kun Li et al) concluded that people carrying a cell phone below the waist were four times more likely to develop tumors. According to the study abstract, “young people have been shown to carry their cell phones in their trouser pockets for several hours a day, resulting in significant exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the colorectal region. Intestinal epithelial cells are among the most sensitive tissue cells to radiation exposure”.

Cell phone user manuals advise against carrying a phone on the abdomen, particularly for pregnant women, due to the risk of radiation exposure. Cell phone users, especially young adults, are advised to take precautions to limit their exposure: by using speaker mode or wired earphones, and by avoiding carrying their phone directly on their body.

Article published by the Tribune de Genève related to this commentary:

"Colorectal cancer is unexplainably increasing among "young people" :

Excerpt: This is worrying because, at present, there is no explanation for this early onset. "The risk factors are probably the same as for the older population, namely a combination of non-modifiable causes – including genetics – but above all an increase in modifiable factors – tobacco, alcohol, red meat, a sedentary lifestyle, excess weight, etc. What we don't understand is what this patient was exposed to differently compared to the previous generation."

Glioblastomas: we ask 20 Minutes to correct its article

Glioblastomas: we ask 20 Minutes to correct its article
By : Phonegate Team • 28 Mar 2025

On March 15, 2025, the newspaper 20 Minutes published an article on glioblastomas in 15-39 year-olds, these particularly aggressive brain tumors. While we welcome the interest shown in this crucial public health issue, we feel that some of the information contained in the article is inaccurate or imprecise, and could mislead the public. Despite our exchanges with the editorial team and the experts quoted in the article, no corrections have been made to date. Once again, we return to the facts to set the record straight.

20 Minutes article: questionable figures and wording

In its March 15 article, 20 Minutes cites figures for the incidence of glioblastoma in France that contradict official data published by Santé Publique France (SPF). The article states that glioblastomas represent “20% of the 5900 central nervous system cancers diagnosed each year”, i.e. around 1180 cases per year. However, according to SPF‘s 2019 and 2021 reports, the number of glioblastomas was estimated at 3,481 cases in 2018, representing around 56% of central nervous system cancers.

U.S. Honeybee Deaths Reach Record High: Survey
By: Cristen Hemingway Jaynes, ecowatch.com, 25 March 2025

Honeybee deaths in the United States have surged to record highs, with commercial beekeepers reporting having lost an average of 62 percent of their colonies over the winter, according to an ongoing survey by nonprofit Project Apis m.

Data for the survey was collected from 702 respondents who are responsible for roughly 1.84 million colonies — about 68 percent of the country’s bees.

“The start of the 2025 almond pollination season was met with unprecedented colony losses which have shaken the beekeeping industry. In response, Project Apis m. conducted a widespread survey to assess the breadth and severity of colony die offs within the United States,” a press release from Project Apis m. said. “These alarming numbers could significantly impact crop pollination of essential foods and harm the profitability of the nation’s agriculture industry.”

Switzerland: 5G antenna in Murgenthal: health and environment remain disregarded

5G antenna in Murgenthal: health and environment remain disregarded

zofingertagblatt.ch

Despite 124 appeals and numerous concerns, Sunrise is holding on to the planned 5G antenna in the middle of a residential area. Alternative locations are rejected for economic reasons, while health and ecological risks are ignored. Radiation critics warn of the possible impact of increased electromagnetic stress on residents, especially children, the elderly and electro-sensitive people.

The speakers demand that social and health aspects influence decision-making. The federal constitution does not guarantee the right to unrestricted mobile radio, but certainly the protection of one's own apartment. An antenna in a densely populated area exposes unnecessary radiation to hundreds of people. Instead of technological expansion at any cost, the association pleads protection against radiation in order to put economic interests in the background for the first time and instead put the protection of the population in the focus.

United States: Georgia Man Wins $2 Billion in Roundup Weedkiller Lawsuit

Georgia Man Wins $2 Billion in Roundup Weedkiller Lawsuit, as Governor Weighs Law to Protect Chemical Makers From Liability
by Carey Gillam, childrenshealthdefense.org, March 25. 2025

A jury found that Bayer, which bought Roundup-maker Monsanto in 2018, failed to warn users of years of scientific evidence that exposure to Roundup could cause cancer. The verdict rocked Bayer investors, driving down the German company’s shares more than 8% on Monday.

A Georgia jury verdict ordering Bayer AG to pay over $2 billion to a man suffering from cancer he blamed on his use of Roundup weedkiller comes as that state’s governor weighs whether to sign into law a measure that would effectively bar such cases from going to trial in the future.

The March 24 verdict rocked Bayer investors, driving down the German company’s shares more than 8% on Monday.

The jury found that Bayer, which bought Roundup-maker Monsanto in 2018, failed to properly warn users of years of scientific evidence that exposure to Roundup could cause cancer, awarding plaintiff John Barnes $2 billion in punitive damages and $65 million in compensatory damages.
