EU Effort Underway to Ban 'Harmful' Wi-Fi

Ok so wifi is harmful, what about the radar that the airport by my work uses, that's radio waves, what about the cellular systems we have set up? Are people really this stupid!

Call The Doctor, a quick sonicing from the screwdriver should fix that right up, if not the TARDIS can.

Wi-fi generates these negative effects.

Something must be done.

The recent press reports, said EC spokeswoman Aikaterini Apostola, “result from an unfortunate confusion.”

First off, explained Apostola, “The Council of Europe is not an institution of the European Union and has no authority on the European Union,” so whatever the organization decides on Wi-Fi may well prove to be irrelevant.

Indeed, the Council of Europe (CoE), which boasts 47 member countries, is an intergovernmental body whose core objective is purportedly “to preserve and promote human rights, democracy and the rule of law.” Lacking the basic authority to implement its decisions, the CoE relies on the European Court of Human Rights for formulating, promoting and implementing “human rights standards.”

When it comes to actual EU regulations, Apostola said all mobile phones and wifi equipment present on the EU market must comply with Directive 1999/5/EC on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment.

“All such equipment is presumed to be safe,” said Apostola, who explained that presumption of conformity was provided by European technical standards “developed to respect the exposure limits proposed by Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC on the limitation of the exposure of the general public to EMF. The purpose of these exposure limits is to provide a high level of protection of the health of the general public.”

This scientific validity is assessed regularly, Apostola added, noting that the latest assessment – by the independent Scientific Committee for Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) - had even been made since the adoption of the Council Recommendation.

According to that assessment, and after a “complete review” of all the scientific evidence, “no scientific rationale could be found that would justify a change in the exposure limits.”

"EU Effort Underway to Ban 'Harmful' Wi-Fi"

um that is not what the title says....

Apparently there's a proposal in the EU to ban all WiFi and cellular technology in schools to "protect" the children

The odd proposal dubbed “The potential dangers of electromagnetic fields and their effect on the environment,” says the potential health effects of telecommunications and mobile telephony appear to be “more or less potentially harmful” to plants, animals and humans.

In light of the above considerations, the Assembly recommends that the member states of the Council of Europe:

And what happens when your kids have to leave the house and visit friends, go to school, go to McDonald's or Starbucks?

How's this for hard evidence?

So over a few weeks I did a series of "Off and On" tests with the WiFi. To my astonishment, I discovered each time I turned it off, my kids symptoms improved. Each time I turned it back on, they returned with a vengeance!

So.. Smoking is just as bad as WiFi?

Give me a freakin' break. Also, they didn't say which frequency they were using. Were they using 2.4GHz or 5GHz? Which channel?

Time to whip out the Faraday cages everyone.

How's this for hard evidence?

In 2005 my son started suffering immense medical problems ranging from heart rhythm issues, persistent headaches, insomnia, and a few other things. The strange thing is our newborn also started having extreme 'agitation' issues, and the doctor labeled her a 'severe colic' baby. But none of this seemed normal to us, there had to be a 'cause' right? For my son; Specialist after specialist couldn't turn up any known 'physical' cause. Finally, one blood test revealed an issue with his IG panel subsets. After investigating and ruling out all potential causes of this, I ran into an article from 1995, funded by the cell phone industry that found that Microwave Radiation can disrupt the IG panel subset of the human body.

Suddenly it all made sense, all of this started around the same time I installed a powerful WiFi router in the home with several TIVO WiFi access points throughout. Is it possible? So over a few weeks I did a series of "Off and On" tests with the WiFi. To my astonishment, I discovered each time I turned it off, my kids symptoms improved. Each time I turned it back on, they returned with a vengeance! I took this data to my kids pediatrician, and through more testing, confirmed this.. Her diagnosis? "Our technology has reached a point where it is becoming incompatible with human biology.".. I'd of never believed it if I didn't witness and go through the same thing myself! These wireless technologies can be extremely harmful to humans, and especially to the weakest and smallest among us (children) - generally due to their thinner skulls, and increased sensitivity.

To cause damage to biological molecules is physically impossible until photon energies reach the near ultraviolet.

Wifi is microwaves. That is not even within spitting distance of the near-UV.

Even if they didn't.... they could set up either ethernet/fiber or what I use... ethernet over powerline.

Put in a switch with a bunch of ethernet jacks and you're good to go.

Since this is a school - how many devices do you need to have on WiFi anyways ?
