ANSES 5G report: Phonegate Alert and Robin des Toits denounce in their counter-expertise a position openly favorable to the industrial lobby and which endangers public health!

Access to analysis report on ANSES study

Our work of analysis, bibliographical research and putting into perspective the scientific elements presented, leads us to take a detailed critical look at this new ANSES report on 5G. In our opinion, it is more of a report on policy than a scientific report!

In order to understand why we are able to denounce the falsely reassuring communication around the release of the report, we invite you to read our comments and proposals in a joint document of counter-expertise of 52 pages that will be submitted to ANSES in the context of the public consultation that ends on June 1:

The various requests for a moratorium before the implementation of 5G, including the one signed in 2017 by more than 170 international experts and doctors including Prof. Dominique Belpomme and Dr. Marc Arazi, already justified by the lack of scientific studies specific to these new frequencies, are fully validated by this report by ANSES. However, although the agency acknowledges the lack of scientific data throughout the 241 pages, it does not draw the necessary conclusions. By acting in this way, ANSES, and also ANFR, which was involved in the work, is clearly and deliberately putting both the people living near relay antennas and mobile phone users at risk, relegating them to the status of guinea pigs.

> We recall the need for a moratorium at national and European level

This report demonstrates a total disproportion between the resources allocated to scientific studies on 5G and the hundreds of billions spent by manufacturers and operators to market these new frequencies. In France, we see the same imbalance between the sale of frequencies for nearly 3 billion euros to operators and a few hundred thousand euros reallocated by the public authorities for the protection of the population. This is even more obvious at European level through the European Commission’s funding.

> The resources allocated by the State to independent scientific studies must be increased in line with public health issues.

The choice of ANSES to align itself without any reservations with the ICNIRP recommendations corresponds, in our opinion, to a political takeover of the agency by the supervisory ministries under the influence of the mobile phone industry lobby. Thus this report marks a very notable departure from its own previous, rather courageous reports of 2016 and 2019 (totally absent here) which allowed the Phonegate scandal to be revealed and thus highlighted certain elements of the overexposure of users to the radio waves of their mobile phones due to the serious failings of the ICNIRP standards in terms of protecting users’ health.

> ANSES must have the independence to critically review ICNIRP’s recommendations and the conflicts of interest surrounding them.
