WiFi Causes Cancer and Health Problems

WiFi routers broadcast at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz in the non-ionizing spectrum, unable to break chemical bonds or damage DNA; they operate at power levels a thousandth of cellular towers and microwave ovens. Epidemiological studies on WiFi exposure find no correlation with cancer, immune dysfunction, or the symptoms people report (headaches, fatigue, electromagnetic hypersensitivity). Proposed mechanisms are scientifically implausible: humans absorb far more radiation from natural background sources (cosmic rays, terrestrial uranium decay) and voluntary exposure (medical imaging) than WiFi. Controlled trials of 'electromagnetic hypersensitivity' find no differences in symptom severity between real and placebo WiFi exposure, suggesting nocebo effects dominate. Anxiety-driven health concerns are real and should be addressed sympathetically, but framing WiFi as uniquely dangerous is factually incorrect and perpetuates unfounded fear. This myth echoes historical technology panics (telegraph, radio, electricity itself were deemed dangerous). Research establishing harm would be publishable and career-advancing; instead, the literature consistently finds null effects, suggesting the absence of real danger rather than coordinated suppression.
