LETTER: Stop 5G, please

5G Networks are already being deployed.

The electromagnetic fields associated with 5G technology is employed on smart cars and enables global tracking and personal surveillance at a level of detail that is unprecedented.

A growing body of peer reviewed medical research links the existing radiofrequency exposure (4G/3G/Smart Meters) with DNA damage and a variety of health conditions, including premature Alzheimer’s, autism, cardiac disease, infertility and cancer.

As a family physician, I would not have thought to ask patients with insomnia, headaches, tinnitus, paresthesia, or anxiety about their habits when using cell phones, or proximity to a “smart” meter.

The media has ignored the factual reality.

The FCC is permitting regulatory changes as submitted by the telecommunications industry without a single medical impact review.

5G includes the goal of covering every square foot on Earth 24/7/365 with 5G radiation.

Scientists, including Martin Pall, PhD, a leading expert on the biological effects of radiation, are warning that “high power 5G signals will pose risks to all life on earth: people, animals, insects and plants.

Despite no research proving 5G WiFi to be safe, all of this is happening thanks to deceptive marketing, under-informed politicians, and academics who look the other way to protect their careers.”

These effects are cumulative.

Please urge Sen. Patty Murray, Sen. Maria Cantwell and Rep. Kilmer to courageously lead an effort to halt 5G in Washington state and in our country, before we cause irreparable damage to all life on Earth.
