A Deeply Flawed Study with Devastating Consequences
A scientific cover-up is unfolding before our eyes. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently published a systematic review that downplays the risks of radiofrequency (RF) radiation from cell phones and wireless technologies. According to this study, there is no clear evidence linking cell phone use to cancer—a conclusion that contradicts decades of peer-reviewed research, landmark government studies, and rising brain tumor rates worldwide.
This conclusion is not just misleading—it’s scientifically fraudulent.
Dr. John Frank, a leading epidemiologist and special adviser to the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF), has sounded the alarm on this study’s systematic manipulation of evidence. He and other experts argue that the WHO’s study by Karipidis et al. (2024) is deeply flawed, designed to give the false impression that RF radiation poses no serious health risks.
This is not just an academic debate. Public health is at stake. The telecommunications industry is aggressively expanding 5G, increasing RF radiation exposure for billions of people. The FCC, FDA, and WHO—bodies tasked with protecting public health—have instead aligned with corporate interests.
This article will break down:
- How the WHO study manipulated data to downplay RF risks
- The overwhelming scientific evidence showing RF radiation causes cancer
- Why industry and regulatory agencies continue to suppress this truth
- The urgent need for independent, transparent research and public action
It’s time to expose the systemic corruption behind this study and demand real accountability.
How the WHO Study Manipulated Science to Downplay RF Radiation Risks
Misrepresenting Study Findings
One of the most egregious flaws in the WHO’s study by Karipidis et al. (2024) is its deliberate misrepresentation of previous research.
- The study excluded or downplayed research showing increased brain cancer risks in long-term cell phone users.
- It included flawed, industry-funded studies that used short follow-up periods, ensuring that cancer trends would not be observed.
- It ignored well-established epidemiological principles—cancers often take decades to develop, meaning studies with less than 20 years of follow-up are unreliable.
The “Lamp Light” Bias: Looking in the Wrong Place
Dr. John Frank compared the WHO study’s methodology to “looking under a lamp light for car keys—not because they were lost there, but because the light was better.”
- Instead of focusing on long-term studies (where cancers are more likely to appear), they chose short-term studies that failed to capture the full risk.
- The study authors dismissed Swedish research by Dr. Lennart Hardell, which found clear evidence that long-term cell phone users have a significantly higher risk of brain tumors.
This deliberate oversight ensures the study reaches a pre-determined conclusion—that RF radiation is “safe.”
Relying on Flawed Danish Cohort Studies
The WHO study heavily relied on the Danish Cohort Study, which has major flaws that make it scientifically unreliable:
- It grouped all cell phone users into one category, failing to distinguish between heavy users and occasional users.
- It classified people as “non-users” even if they had company-issued cell phones, leading to significant misclassification of exposure.
- It ignored the “dose-response relationship”—a fundamental principle in epidemiology that higher exposure should correlate with higher risk.
By including flawed studies and rejecting strong evidence, the WHO study manufactured doubt where none should exist.
The Overwhelming Evidence That RF Radiation Causes Cancer
Landmark Government Studies Confirm Cancer Risk
Contrary to the WHO’s whitewashing of the issue, multiple high-quality government-funded studies have found clear evidence that RF radiation causes cancer.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) Study (2018)
- Conducted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)
- Found “clear evidence” that RF radiation causes brain and heart tumors in rats.
- Showed DNA damage, contradicting industry claims that RF radiation cannot break DNA.
The Ramazzini Institute Study (2018)
- Conducted in Italy, replicated the NTP findings at lower exposure levels.
- Found increased rates of malignant tumors in rats exposed to RF radiation.
These multi-million-dollar, long-term studies confirm that cell phone radiation is carcinogenic—yet the WHO ignored them.
Human Studies Confirm Increased Brain Tumor Risk
Lennart Hardell’s Swedish Studies
- Found a 3x higher risk of glioblastoma (brain cancer) in heavy cell phone users.
- Found a clear dose-response relationship—the more hours of phone use, the greater the risk.
- Showed that those who started using cell phones before age 20 had a 5x higher risk of brain cancer.
Brain Cancer Rates Are Rising
- Glioblastoma rates have increased worldwide, especially among young adults.
- The trend aligns with the widespread adoption of cell phones and wireless technology.
The WHO’s attempt to downplay these findings is an act of scientific fraud.
The Suppression of Science: Why the WHO and FCC Are Failing Us
Industry Capture: The Telecom-Health Agency Revolving Door
- The WHO, FCC, and FDA have a long history of collusion with the wireless industry.
- The FCC’s RF safety guidelines were written in 1996—before smartphones even existed—and have never been updated.
- The FCC is run by former telecom executives, not scientists.
Defunding the EPA and NTP to Stop Research
- In the 1990s, telecom lobbyists pressured Congress to defund the EPA’s non-ionizing radiation research, leaving no independent oversight.
- In 2022, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) shut down its RF research—even after confirming RF radiation causes cancer.
This is a deliberate suppression of science to protect corporate profits over public health.
What Needs to Happen: A Call for Action
Demand That Congress Enforce Public Law 90-602
- Public Law 90-602 mandates ongoing RF radiation research—yet no agency is following it.
- Congress must restore funding to the EPA or create an independent body to study RF radiation.
Overhaul RF Safety Standards
- Strip the FCC of its authority to regulate RF safety—they are a telecom agency, not a health agency.
- Update RF exposure limits to account for non-thermal biological effects.
Repeal Section 704 of the Telecom Act
- Section 704 makes it illegal for communities to reject cell towers based on health concerns—this must be overturned.
Public Awareness and Grassroots Action
- Educate policymakers on the dangers of RF radiation.
- Push for lawsuits against the FCC and WHO for regulatory negligence.
Final Thoughts: The WHO’s Study Is a Corporate Cover-Up—The Truth Cannot Be Suppressed
The WHO’s study is not real science—it is a carefully orchestrated public deception designed to protect industry profits at the expense of public health.
Dr. John Frank, the ICBE-EMF, the NTP, and numerous independent researchers have shown that RF radiation causes cancer and neurological harm. The rising rates of glioblastoma and other brain tumors confirm it.
Yet government agencies, health organizations, and telecom companies continue to lie to the public.
This is a fight for truth, for science, and for public health.
We must demand accountability.
We must demand the enforcement of Public Law 90-602.
We must reject the WHO’s fraudulent study and push for real, independent research.
