5G Panic Is the Last Thing America’s Tech Strategy Needs
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy claimed in a recent interview with USA Today that radiation from 5G towers poses a serious health risk, citing “more than 10,000 studies” allegedly showing harm. This scare is hardly new. Every generation of wireless technology has sparked fears about radiation.
What is new is who is spreading them. The science and the historical record are clear: there is no credible evidence that everyday use of modern wireless networks endangers human health. Yet in the viral age of 5G, claims once confined to conspiracy circles are now being amplified by the nation’s top health official.
