Kamala Harris’ Inaction: Ending Critical Cancer Research
Instead of taking action to update outdated FCC safety standards, the Biden-Harris administration took an even more harmful step—they ended funding for the National Toxicology Program’s RF radiation research. This effectively shut down the largest and most important cancer research effort into RF radiation exposure just as it was providing clear evidence of harm.
By redirecting funding away from the NTP, the administration has left the public without crucial information needed to protect themselves from the dangers of RF radiation. The NTP study, which confirmed the carcinogenic potential of RF radiation, is irreplaceable in its scope and significance. Ending this program was a disastrous choice that prioritizes corporate interests over public health.
The Consequences for Public Health
The ramifications of ending NTP research are far-reaching:
- No New Data: Without ongoing research, the public loses access to up-to-date data on the risks of RF radiation exposure, which means safety guidelines remain based on outdated information.
- Regulatory Stagnation: Without independent scientific data to push regulatory agencies like the FCC to act, we risk continuing under outdated and inadequate safety standards that leave our children vulnerable.
Kamala Harris’ actions are not just an oversight—they represent a direct threat to public health, leaving countless Americans at increased risk of developing cancer and other health problems.
- Regulatory Capture and Inaction: The Biden-Harris administration has failed to enforce the court’s mandate to update outdated RF radiation exposure guidelines, allowing the FCC to continue ignoring public health.
- Cancellation of NTP Research: The National Toxicology Program (NTP), which conducted the most comprehensive studies linking RF radiation to cancer, was allowed to run out of funding under Vice President Kamala Harris. This effectively ended the most important cancer research into RF radiation just as it was providing clear evidence of harm.
- Lack of Direct Advocacy: Harris has not made any effort to advocate for revising RF radiation safety standards or for expanding independent research funding, despite clear evidence of the risks involved.
- Legislative Proposals: Harris has failed to introduce or support legislative proposals aimed at updating RF safety guidelines or increasing research funding into RF radiation health impacts.
