Exactly. I got the impression from the posts that were here when I made mine that people had never even heard of this being something that has been "debated" in the scientific community but just some random idea RFK Jr had himself.

IIRC there was real worry in the late 90s due to the thermal effect mobiles back then had, which in the 00s transformed into electromagnetism and the blood-brain barrier instead. The thing that really gives away the non-scientific backing for those still trying to push this is that they keep trying to blame newer versions of the mobile networks "4G bad vs 3G!" "5G bad vs 4G!" when in reality every newer network standard has less penetrating energy and also, due to towers being much closer spaced, less transmitting energy overall from the phone.

NMT back in the 80s however? I'd probably be somewhat cautious today tbh.
