Yesterday, after Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was confirmed by the senate as Secretary of Health and Human Services, President Trump established a “Make American Healthy Again” commission. Its goals is to focus on the “root causes of America’s escalating health crisis,” including “the American diet, absorption of toxic material, medical treatments, lifestyle, environmental factors, Government policies, food production techniques, electromagnetic radiation, and corporate influence or cronyism."

Note the inclusion of “electromagnetic radiation.” This means cell phone electromagnetic fields and 5G. It may even include 60 Hz powerline fields, millimeter wave airport scanners, magnets for pain relief, and the Havana Syndrome.

Here we go again. I addressed these issues in my book The short answer is: No, they are not.

Here’s a quote from my book.

When a reporter for the New York Times asked about the calls for more spending on research into health effects of electromagnetic fields, she responded that the money “could be much better spent on other health problems. Because there is really nothing there.”

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. seems to not be satisfied with making a mockery of biology and medicine. He’s going after physics too.
