At a NewsNation Town Hall, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. voiced concerns about 5G and electromagnetic radiation (EMR), citing studies that show potential health risks. He referenced a study where “brief exposure to 1.3 GHz radiation allowed small molecules like D-mannitol to pass into the brain in rats,” raising alarm about long-term EMR effects on the blood-brain barrier.
Kennedy also pointed to research linking high EMR exposure to tumors in rats, questioning the safety of current standards. While agencies like the FDA claim there’s “no strong evidence” linking mobile phone use to cancer, Kennedy believes they overlook long-term, low-level exposure and the unique pulse patterns of 5G.
He clarified he’s “not saying we should ban cellphones,” but he urged more rigorous safety testing, public transparency, and independent research.
Kennedy warned that in the race for faster tech, we may be ignoring subtle but serious health risks. “We need to look before we leap,” he implied, encouraging caution over speed.
His comments challenge the mainstream narrative, pushing for more informed choices about the technologies we embrace.
