The Government would have us believe that “there may be a small increase in overall exposure to radio waves when 5G is added to an existing network or in a new area” but that “there should be no consequences for public health”. Is this actually the case? On what evidence has this statement been made?
I have just read the four 5G case studies carried out this year by Professor Lennart Hardell and Mona Nilsson, in which eight people developed debilitating symptoms after the installation of 5G masts next to their accommodation, where precise radiation measurements were taken. The results put a big question mark over the Government’s statement.
Has our Government ignored the worldwide appeals and consensus statements made by independent scientists and doctors, calling for a revision of safety guidelines and a halt to the rollout of 5G on the basis of research on the much lower levels of pre-5G emissions? These include 433 scientists who have signed the EU 5G appeal, 259 scientists from 44 nations who have signed the international EMF scientist appeal and 164 scientists and medical doctors as well as 95 non-governmental organisations who have signed the EMF Call. There is also the compelling 2020 Consensus Statement of U.K. and international, medical and scientific experts on the health effects of non-ionising radiation, signed by organisations representing 3,500 medical doctors throughout the world, initiated by the Physicians’ Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment (PHIRE).
The lead author of the four 5G case studies is Professor Hardell, an oncologist and leading researcher from the Swedish Research Foundation for Environment and Cancer. He was the first in the world to publish results on elevated cancer risks with mobile phone use. His co-author, Mona Nilsson, is Director of the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation, which seeks, in the absence of information from the Government or the media, to inform people of the risks.
But before we look at the 5G case studies, let’s take a brief look about what is already known about the health risks of previous mobile communications technology. The updated Bioinitiative Report has listed thousands of studies on the adverse health effects of pre-5G technology. A clear majority of studies shows
a clear and consistent pattern of adverse effects that form the basis of the mechanisms whereby RFR [radiofrequency radiation] can cause the cancers seen in human populations. Of 261 studies looking at oxidative effects from RFR exposure, 240 (91%) showed damage. Of 346 studies on effects of RFR on genes, 224 (65%) reported genetic damage. Oxidative stress and genetic damage are the major mechanisms leading to cancer. In addition, RFR exposure causes effects on brain and behaviour. Of 336 studies published on RFR neurological effects, 73% reported effects and only 27% showed no effect.
Moving on to 5G itself, what is different about it? It does not yet use millimetre wave bands, as these will not be allocated until about 2025 for use in 70 U.K. cities. Up-to-date information about health research on millimetre waves can be found on this webpage produced by Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D. from the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. At present, 5G runs on the lower frequencies of 3.4 to 3.8 GHz in the U.K., but what is very novel is the addition of complex new technology, such as beamforming, massive MIMO and phased arrays. Professor Hardell says:
The effects of the exposure depend not only on the carrier frequency, for instance 3.5 GHz as for 5G, but also, and perhaps more importantly, on the modulation and pulsation of the signal and the peak and average intensity. Pulsed signals and simultaneous exposure to several frequencies… were considered more hazardous. The observed effects increased with duration of exposure.
The Hardell-Nilsson case studies are groundbreaking because, incredibly, they study human beings in a real-life 5G environment for the very first time.
The four 5G case studies themselves, published in January, February, April and June this year, deal with acute health effects, i.e., symptoms which come on very quickly after exposure, whereas some of the information at the start of this article refers to chronic effects, i.e., illnesses which develop over years such as cancer or Alzheimer’s.
All four studies describe how previously healthy people very quickly developed symptoms of microwave syndrome after 5G phone masts were installed above or opposite their accommodation at distances of between five and 60 metres. Most of the symptoms disappeared within days of them moving to less irradiated accommodation, but reappeared when they returned to the strongly irradiated accommodation.
Their symptoms included neurological symptoms, headaches, tinnitus, fatigue, insomnia, emotional distress, skin disorders, joint and muscle pain, cardiovascular abnormalities and blood pressure variability. Participants were asked to fill in questionnaires about their health before the 5G masts had been installed, after installation and after they had moved away to less irradiated accommodation. They were asked to grade the severity of their symptoms, with 10 being unbearable. The results are produced in tables in the studies and show that some symptoms were unbearable while near the 5G mast and even more so for the female participants.
The four studies are highly readable and full context is given. I will however mention individual features of particular interest.
Precise radiation measurements are given for different areas of the apartments in relation to the distance from the masts involved. In the first study it is noteworthy that readings of the radiation levels prior to the 5G mast deployment were available. The couple had lived in this apartment for 10 years under a 3G and 4G mast without obvious health problems and, when they heard that the mast was to be upgraded, arranged for measurements to be taken beforehand. The maximum (peak) measurement was 9,000 μW/m2. However, after installation of the 5G mast, very high RF radiation with maximum levels of 354,000, 1,690,000 and over 2,500,000 μW/m2 were measured at three occasions in the bedroom, which was located only five metres below the new 5G base station. Levels in the other three studies were similarly high after the installation of the 5G masts.
Thus it is clear that the deployment of 5G leads to a massive increase in radiation levels, contrary to what our Government has told us. The increase from 9,000 to 2,500,000 µW/m2 can hardly be described as a small increase and the symptoms arising cannot be written off with the phrase “no consequences for public health”.
Yet even these high levels are well below the limits which are supposed to be ‘safe’, according to the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation (ICNIRP). ICNIRP’s guidelines are accepted in the U.K., USA and parts of Europe, but only allow for thermal effects (i.e., assume that health will only be damaged if body tissue is heated). They allow exposure to be as high as 10,000,000 μW/m2 averaged over 30 minutes and 40,000,000 μW/m2 of local exposure averaged over six minutes.
These limits do not allow for longer exposure or chronic effects and ignore studies showing health damage below the thermal threshold. The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields has concluded that “the assumptions underlying ICNIRP’s exposure limits are invalid and continue to present a public health harm”. In addition, ICNIRP has been strongly criticised for having ties to the telecommunications industry.
In the fourth article, Hardell addresses the difference between microwave syndrome and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), which both seem to have similar symptoms,
Unlike the microwave syndrome, individuals suffering from EHS can develop debilitating symptoms at extremely low exposure levels that are tolerated by most other people. That is in contrast to the very high RF radiation levels seen in our four case studies where healthy individuals, with no prior major reactions to wireless technology, developed symptoms.
However, the participant in the second study found that, although his symptoms completely disappeared after six weeks of living in a low radiation apartment, his “arthralgia and headache reappeared rather quickly whenever he visited places with high radiation such as Stockholm City”. He estimates that “his sensitivity to RFR has increased” since living in the office below the 5G base station. Could this mean that he is on the way to developing EHS? The highest RFR measurement found in Stockholm last month was 5,271,555 µW/m2.
Set against these high levels are the vastly different safety exposure levels for RFR recommended by certain expert groups. In 2016, the European Academy of Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM) recommended limits of 0.1 to 100 µW/m2 for frequencies from 900 MHz to 5.6 GHz, depending on sensitivity and whether exposure was during the day or at night. Already in 2012, the Bioinitiative Report had suggested a limit of 30 to 60 μW/m2 and lower still for sensitive persons and children at 3 to 6 μW/m2. These recommended safety limits along with others from different advisory groups are set out in Table 1 in Hardell’s first study.
Yesterday, I spoke to Mona Nilsson, one of the authors of these 5G case studies. She is appalled that the public is now exposed to such high and clearly dangerous levels of RF radiation and not only in city centres but in people’s own homes, where they are irradiated without informed consent. Many people in this situation cannot afford to move away.
Nilsson emphasised that there is no protection against adverse health effects that are not caused by heating of tissue, nor against the effects of chronic exposure. She is shocked that there has been no request from authorities for studies proving the safety of 5G, as indeed Senator Blumenthal realised in 2019 when he said: “So there really is no research ongoing. We’re kind of flying blind here, as far as health and safety is concerned.”
In her opinion, the telecoms industry is now acting in the same way as the tobacco industry did in the past. Experts who question the safety of RFR are smeared or silenced. Journalists, decision-makers and some experts have been bought by the telecoms industry. She says that a small group of experts on RF radiation denying health harms sit on the most influential advisory boards, and that those who disagree are never invited to join them to broaden the debate, despite the fact that the dissenters may represent the majority of expert opinion.

I live in hope that his re emergence is the final death toll for the Tories and that they most definitely do not rest in peace.
Good morning HP and one and all.
Good afternoon!
Somewhat surprised to find it isn’t my turn to be Chancellor today. Disappointing.
Relax. It’s not even lunchtime yet.
Morning piggles.
And a bracing Good Morning to you HP! Once more unto the breach (between the armchair and the desk) dear friends!!
Three downvotes (at time of posting) for offering a greeting. Odd. Maybe a symptom of the aggressive nature of faceless communication.
Thanks FL. I don’t understand people downticking a genuinely kindly meant “good morning.” There are some sad characters lurking on this site at times. If I post something controversial, which I do occasionally, I expect some saddo downticks but not for “good morning.”
Personally I only very rarely downtick.
“Molly Russell coroner calls for separate social media platforms for adults and children”
I really do wish that we would stop using tragic but individual cases to try and pivot large pieces of legislation and regulation as ‘Who-evers Law’. They always end up as either some facile and poorly thought through solution, or as an overburdening of businesses to try to stop the one in a million situation, at additional cost and complexity for the other 999,999.
Indeed. It’s the whole pernicious nonsense of “if it saves just one life”. Rampant safetyism.
Give me a boy of seven on a separate social media platform to his parents and I’ll get the trans humanist agenda sorted in a generation.

The insidious march of the ‘Smart-phone’ is a truly disturbing aspect of modern times. we are sleep walking into tyranny and the clever thing about smart-phones is that people are buying the phones and paying for the contracts which are then being used to subjugate them. With the China lockdowns we could see that you needed an app on your phone to operate the security system on your housing complex, if you were not covid cleared you could not open the door out of your house.
By making smart-phone apps ‘de-rigueur’ for shopping it is an easy way in for total digital control of life. In a supermarket the other day the checkout lady told me I needed an app on my phone to operate the stores loyalty scheme, when I said I did not have a phone she seemed genuinely horrified, how did they let this sub-human low life into her shop, I thought she was going to call security and have me thrown out.
What a clever trick, to be a functioning human being in today’s world you must have and operate the instrument of your own oppression.
I don’t use one either. The supermarket which is close to my place did introduce a “loyalty scheme” with id cards and an online account, which was introduced to discourage us from taking trade to the competitors up the road, and evidently to maximise their profit one way or another. It was quite generous for a while, but I stopped using it later on. Still a good store, and I usually pay by debit card (so they know who I am, or at least my account number), but I don’t want them to have too much detail, as long as I can buy what I want.
I am fine with using my Nectar or Waitrose card, Nectar got me quite a few tanks of fuel already, and I mostly pay by card, though sometimes with cash, with which I pay all my restaurant bills now btw.
But I have not, and will refuse to to so for as long as I can, used a self-checkout.
They are the real menace and the Trojan horse to full automation and slavery.
I absolutely will not use those self checkouts. Firstly, they are depriving people of jobs and secondly they invariably don’t work. And I use cash.
Don’t worry we will be chipped at some point !
What do you think the jabs are all about.
Smart phones? Slave phones!
“The coming war on press freedom”
From my point of view, press freedom doesn’t include breaking the law to try and get some tittle-tattle on people to splash across their front pages. This is a momentous time in the world and in our society. Surely there is more to get their journalistic teeth into than some satisfying piece of trivia about Meagan Markle.? Perhaps, instead of moaning about the possibility of having their wings clipped, the papers should give it one last go at writing articles of substance about things that matter..?
…the ‘war’ came, it rewarded them well and now they are purely instruments of paid propaganda…
they wouldn’t know freedom or independent investigation if it hit their arses on the way out….
“Graham Norton….rambled on about how celebs should not comment on difficult topics like transgenderism.”
Or indeed other difficult topics like freedom of speech.
According to the left, Freedom of Speech, has become about permitting all kinds of nasty people to say all kinds of nasty things with impunity. On the contrary, Freedom of Speech is just the natural progression of ‘Freedom of Thought’, and as our society is always changing and expanding its view, new ideas, new thought, new concepts are essential to our very existence. Without it we just end up in total stagnation. By seeking to limit free speech, by association they limit free thought on ‘difficult’ topics like Transgenderism. Asking questions and being contrary is not a crime, not yet at least…
Aren’t they trying to criminalise ‘Freedom of Thought’ now in case it upsets some
loonysensitive souls?Igor Chudov and his compelling sub stack piece on quintiles of deprivation seem to blow the doors off the ‘excess deaths has nothing to do with the wonderful jab’ mendacity fest. He lays it out very clearly as per.
Second that – it’s an excellent bit of analysis. Something else for the medical establishment to studiously ignor.
The key words here are ‘after visiting hours’, which changes the claim entirely. Now, I’m fine to bash the NHS when they deserve it but new mothers need to rest and bond with their babies, having too many hangers-on everywhere all day and night is not conductive to that and it’s also a PITA for the staff. By all means visit during the allowed hours but it’s absolutely right to kick them out so the new mums can recuperate. I say this as a father by the way.

It’s a mighty book but hard to stomach in one sitting. Will try the doc.
I’m reading it but it is heavy going with all the stats it covers , however I rest easy having the book in my possession , it acts as a kind of comfort blanket , a subconscious push back against one of the most dangerous men to have ever had sway over people’s health & for such a long period of time , thanks for posting the link, I have this vision that keeps me going of Sean Connerys character in “The Offence” having Fauci in that chair instead of Ian Bannen as he loses his rag !! If Only .
Agree it’s heavy going – that’s because it’s so thorough and well documented. It’s not so much a comfort blanket as a wet blanket. For me it reveals how corrupt, rotten and cowardly our medical establishment has become. Why is it that Fauci has been able to continue his evil work for so long? We must keep vigilant, keep questioning and keep supporting all dissenters in the hope that one day the truth will prevail.
Still 3 days to go but here’s the direct link

Breaking!:
Thanks to the enormous public interest caused by our fight in the EU Parliament and the existing evidence, The @EUProsecutor has opened an investigation into the procurement of vaccines.
I call for an independent investigation without any political influence.
..he continues…
The EU Commission should immediately terminate contracts for new doses of fake #vaccines against #Covid 19 and demand the return of the 2.5 billion euros paid so far.
Everyone who lied that #vaccines prevent the spread of the virus must be held accountable.
The purchase of 4.5 billion doses of the covid-19 vaccine for 450 million EU residents is the biggest CORRUPTION SCANDAL in the history of mankind.
Johnson did a similar trick too. His bank accounts need investigating!

Correct…can’t have it falling into the ‘wrong’ hands….or how are the army of bots going to make sure that the Democrats win the next election fairly?? LOL!
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the army of people saying that Pfizer never claimed the vaccine would stop infection?
can I just remind them?….
Twitter:
“Excited to share that updated analysis from our Phase 3 study with BioNTec also showed our Covid 19 vaccine was 100% effective in preventing #Covid 19 cases in South Africa. 100%.”
Albert Bourla 4th Jan 2021
Someone should tell him…….
Also from a Pfizer press release…13th Jan 2021..
“The ability to vaccinate at speed to gain herd immunity and stop transmission is our highest priority.”…….
(I knew I’d kept all this crap on my computer for something!!??)
Because it didn’t.
It said it reduced symptomatic infection by 95%… although this was relative reduction, not absolute reduction… so intentionally misleading.
Symptomatic infection risk was only 0.88% unvaccinated, reduced to 0.04% vaccinated (hence 95% reduction) but in reality a 0.88% risk is nothing, so a 95% reduction of nothing is nothing.
Pfizer never claimed in its submissions to Regulatory Agencies that its mRNA crap stopped transmission or reduced severity of disease.
However the Pfizer CEO – who refused to attend the EU session – did falsely make these claims and the political slimeballs and useful idiots in the media did too.
On the other hand none of the companies publicly corrected the misinformation being spewed by Governments and media. So they are complicit.
Thanks for the Reuters fact check but we will beg to differ…I think when you say something is 100% effective in preventing something, and you talk about herd immunity it’s taken as read…
’None of the companies corrected the misinformation’…no because they were busy backing it up…
There are way too many ‘claims’ about the vaccine stopping transmission, from Gates, GAVI, CDC, Fauci, WHO,European Parliament..UK Government…you name it. Repeated thousands upon thousands of times in the media….If you want to think the Pharma companies just didn’t say anything because it was an oversight feel free….but no, that beggars belief..
372.000 Excess Non-Covid Natural Cause Deaths in the USA from 4.21 to 9.22.
Are they due to: Gene-therapy caused explosion in cancer and cardiac events,
or are they due to: Long Covid (as per Big Pharma, Govs, MSM).
Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3 from The Ethical Skeptic….
“Finally, we end with the most important chart of all – the chart which indicates deaths which are not from accidents, suicide, addiction, assault, abuse, despair, disruption, nor Covid-19. The Excess Non-Covid Natural Cause Mortality chart which we began monitoring on May 29th 2021. What I called then, the ‘What the hell is this?’ chart. As one can see, we have lost 372,000 younger Americans to something besides Covid and non-natural death, during the period from 3 April 2021 to 10 September 2022. The current rate of mortality in this ICD categorization, is around 5,000 – 6,700 per week (the database shows a most recent five-week, weekly average of 6,700 deaths – subject to lag of course) – which exceeds most weeks of the Covid pandemic itself (save for the absolute peak periods).
By now, if all these mortality excesses were indeed a holdover from Covid-19 itself, they should have already begun to tail off. Unfortunately they are not only not tailing off, in many cases they are still increasing.”

https://www.romania-insider.com/romania-destroyed-covid-vaccine-doses-rafila
Romania has so far destroyed about 3 million expired COVID-19 vaccine doses, health minister Alexandru Rafila said. Another 3 million doses will most likely have the same fate, as they will expire by the end of the year.
Asked how much money Romania put into the vaccines it did not use, Rafila spoke of EUR 100-200 million.
“Of course, it’s complicated to calculate because you also have to add the doses that are still in stock and that we haven’t used and are unlikely to use. I think we have about 7-8 million in stock at the moment, and with the others I told you about, we will probably reach a consistent figure. If we’re talking about 15 million vaccine doses, it’s probably EUR 100-200 million, I can’t tell you exactly….
Minister Rafila also said that, under the contract, Romania is still to receive millions of COVID-19 vaccine doses.
“It’s a delicate situation, I personally tried to find a solution. Beyond appetite, there are some contractual obligations. This year we are going to receive about 11.2 million doses of vaccine, and next year about 19 million doses of vaccine. This is the contractual provision. […] I had discussions with the Commission and the producers. I hope, and we are on the verge of obtaining a reduction of about 80% of this year’s contract, and the vaccine that should come to Romania should be with the new formula,” Alexandru Rafila said.
About a month ago, the the Health Minister said that Romania has 8 million COVID-19 vaccine doses that it might have to destroy once they expire as neither the population nor other countries are interested in them.
Only about 11% have availed themselves of the ‘latest booster’….!
WTF…can you imagine how many other countries are in the same position….the waste of money! Von Der Liar should go!…
