Oh please..."at a distance of 13cm" from a high powered transmitter. They saw a statistical difference of a minute effect, in a small animal. And if you actually look at the data, they did the statistics incorrectly.

There are researchers at U of Toronto using microwaves to break down the blood brain barrier to get cancer drugs into the brain. It's not easy, and what they have shown is that even when they can do it, the barrier can repeatedly repair itself.

People who leave scientific links on the internet without understanding them are just as bad as RFK Jr.

What in my post makes you believe I don't understand the posted study? Did you not see the "While I'm not worried myself due to the sheer number of null studies that exist" part?

I was a developer and researcher at a mobile phone manufacturer for 15 years. We kept well up to date on this topic.

So we can agree you know nothing about primary biomedical research.

I'm sure some idiots strapped a rat to a radio tower at some point, to prove some stupid point.

I don't want to be that guy, but do you think the manufacturers would be telling anyone if there really were issues?

[-] troed@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

Actually, yeah. I never got the impression anyone was trying to hide something. Mobile network & phone manufacturers sponsored research that was freely published. There was a time when it wasn't as clear as it is today that there were no long term issue risks.

Example here: https://dceg.cancer.gov/fellowship-training/training-resources-for-fellows-and-staff/radiation-epidemiology-course/cell-phones-cancer-risk.pdf

no you dont, Medical/biology research isnt equal to being a phone researcher. you dont even study the same fields. do you have a degree in biology? did research in biology, even botany? if you dint you know nothing about it.

Thank you. For those of us who know nothing about that, I think a comment with a bit of a different premise could help. Like:

be careful if you see someone claiming there is a study to back him up because the most supportive studies entailed comparatively extreme conditions and a bunch of null studies exist too.

(Disclaimer, I have spent zero years at a mobile phone manufacturer and have done little reading on the topic)
