2024-07-10 – W.H.O., what, when, where, how, and why?

1. “W.H.O. to build neglect of RF-EMF exposure hazards on flawed EHC reviews? Case study demonstrates how ‘no hazards’ conclusion is drawn from data showing hazards”

WHAT…

The above quote is the title of what Microwave News describes as “In-depth analysis of one of WHO EMF Project’s systematic reviews—on pregnancy & birth outcomes.”                                 https://x.com/MicrowaveNews/status/1811043714489327986

Excerpt from the journal-published analysis: “The errors, flaws and omissions are grave enough to render [it] unscientific and unethical, and it should therefore be retracted.”

WHEN…

The open access article was published online July 10, 2024 in the journal Reviews On Environmental Health. Please notice there is a tab for also downloading important, extensive Supplementary Material.

WHERE…

The analysis (abstract, full text journal article, and supplementary materials) is open access at                                    https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/reveh-2024-0089/html
and Dr. Joel Moskowitz’s July 10, 2024 commentary post, which includes several other excerpts, is in his ongoing coverage of “WHO Radiofrequency EMF Health Risk Assessment Monograph (EHC series)” at                                                                                                               https://www.saferemr.com/2021/09/who-radiofrequency-emf-health-risk.html

HOW…

SHARE the ANALYSIS article.
• You could repost Microwave News’ tweet (the link to it is above in my “WHAT…” section).
• The analysis article’s journal webpage (above in “WHERE…”) provides a “SHARE” button that gives the options Facebook, X/Twitter, and LinkedIn.
• In an email message, you could easily share using any of the links I have provided above.

WHY…

Certainly there is every usual reason to share an informative article regarding a neglected, widespread public health and environmental problem (and solutions to it). In addition, as a non-scientist, my opinion is that the flawed publication that was analyzed is like an insult to my (and anyone’s!) intelligence. I am thankful that the expert scientific community is actively raising awareness about academically rejecting such nonsense. Readers of this UPDATE, please support the spread of such awareness in any way you can.

2. Often, cell tower/antenna proponents seem to strive (a) to have everyone involved feel terrified about wireless connectivity during emergency situations and (b) to have everyone keep that fear top-of-mind when making decisions. However…

(Following are U.S. and Canada details but considering some of the general details mentioned in it, wherever you live likely something similar is there, so I hope you will ask your local telecom and police/emergency organizations for your local details so that you can inform people of the facts. Fyi: in Canada, the company Rogers is a major telecommunications company. Spoiler: According to Rogers, a cellphone that does NOT have a SIM card in it, i.e., the same as a cellphone that is not subscribed to any cellphone account, might more successfully connect to 9-1-1. [Yes, really!])

(My sharing the following details with you is not me promoting wireless radiation emissions; I am only providing details/sources that may be of use to you in some situations.)

For all the six items below, they do not mention it but the phone does need to have some charge in it (battery, or plugged into a power source).

EVERY time any proponent (any company, government representative, government staff, emergency responder, medical professional, citizen, etc.) claims there is a reason to mostly worry about wireless connectivity for emergency services such as 9-1-1, here are SIX points of solid reference, INCLUDING TWO THAT ARE OFFICIAL ROGERS HEAD OFFICE WEBSITE PAGES. In any situation, if you want to confirm such details in a locality, simply phone the non-emergency phone number of the local police station and ask them to confirm it — if the person at the police station claims it is wrong most likely it is not wrong and it is only that particular person who does not know, or it could be that you need to ask in case it is a locality that is not served by a system like 9-1-1 (there are a few, usually remote, that have a different type of emergency system).

According to Rogers

https://www.rogers.com/support/mobility/can-i-call-911-if-my-sim-card-is-not-working

Q: “Can I call 911 if my SIM card is not working?”

A: “Yes, you can call 911 at ANY time, with or without a SIM card. [Barb’s note: this means even from a cellphone that has no mobile account.]

– TWO –

Also according to Rogers                                          https://www.rogers.com/support/mobility/911-emergency-service

Probably it is advisable for anyone to read more on that webpage than this excerpt:

“If you still cannot complete your emergency call, remove your SIM card and/or turn off the E-SIM in your device’s settings, and try calling 9-1-1 again. Note: Text with 9-1-1 (T9-1-1), a service offered to Deaf, Deafened, Hard of Hearing or Speech Impaired (DHHSI) subscribers, will not function without a SIM card.”

Government authority, question number 10 at                                           https://fayettecountypa.org/FAQ.aspx?QID=90

Q: “Is it true that deactivated cell phones can call 911?

A: “Yes. For this reason, we ask that if you have an old, unused phone and know somebody who may need it in an emergency, give it to them. Be advised, however, that these deactivated phones are not toys for children. Several times a day we receive 911 calls from deactivated cell phones that children are playing with, during the investigation of which, we are tying up a call taker from answering emergency calls. If you have an old cell phone that you are going to let your child play with, please, take out the battery!”

Government of New Brunswick. Its website mentions regarding all cell phones in all of North America, a bit below halfway down this webpage                                                                                      https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/public-safety/security_emergencies/content/nb_911_bureau/what-happens-when-i-call-9-1-1.html

Q: “Can I call 9-1-1 even if my mobile phone is no longer active?”

A: “Yes – deactivated phones can still call 9-1-1 and connect to emergency services. Every cell phone in North America is required to be able to dial 9-1-1, even if there is no plan or SIM card.”

Please do read the article at the above link, as it includes many, many points. The article’s headline is: ”We asked the experts how you can reach 911 in the event of a similar Rogers fiasco. It starts with a paper clip”

Excerpts:

“Rogers says it plans to launch satellite-to-mobile phone service in 2024, beginning with SMS texting and mass notifications and expanding to voice and data.”

“A spokesperson for the company said the services will be available only to Rogers customers, but everyone will have access to 911, even if their provider doesn’t have service in the area.”
