Attributes family headaches, skin symptoms and other illnesses to 5G exposure, objects to 6G deployment, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a patient, parent, family member, caregiver and concerned member of the public. Since 5G became a part of our lives, I frequently get severe headaches that last over 24 hours at a time. I used to be able to multi task but I have a hard time even organizing my thoughts and concentrating on more than one thing at a time. I have developed auto immune disorders and skin rashes . As a parent...my daughter is also having horrible headaches and rashes that she never had before. As a caregiver..I watched my mom experience extreme migraine headaches,, mysterious skin rashes, cancer and severe cognitive failure. I know many people that are having the same problems from wireless radiation. Quality of life has drastically reduced to being constantly ill and suffering . Now they want to bring in 6G? That is insane. We are just lab rats they experiment on. HHS needs to immediately take an active role in examining the health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should have been addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should have been considered alongside the scientific evidence. Many people are suffering unnecessarily. Something needs to be done NOW to protect lives . I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Alleges weaponized uses of 5G, raises cancer and tower-density concerns, and advocates coaxial cable or f…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
5G is dangerous and being weaponized against the people in conjunction with the development of the Covid "vaccine" which is not a vaccine, but a bioterrorist invention without any positive medical value. The 5G frequency range is designated as military and is peculiar as such. The 5G can penetrate human tissue and can send signals of release to graphene oxide cages housing toxic poisons or pathogens from the Covid shot long ago. Three one minute bursts at around 18 gigahertz are designated to do this by unknown operatives in the rogue or deep state control of our government. It can be accomplished because the wavelength of the signal is so small such that the graphene tubular particle is tuned to this frequency range. 5G is a terrorist weapon in this regard as it can burst open the graphene, releasing the payload inside of it on signal. Such a payload may be of snake venom toxin or a virus or other biological particle. *** We do not need the high efficiency of speed of transmission of 5G in normal life blanketing every corner of space. It is not needed for simple tasks on a mobile basis. Serious needs can be done by coaxial cable or fiber optics and in secure ways which we already have and in use for a long time. The wavelengths of 1G and 2G were sufficient and worked. *** 5G is also a cancer and health risk well documented by others. The 5G tower has a range of up to 20 miles, yet there are so many of these towers crammed unnecessarily close together giving a blanket coverage polluted with electromagnetic radiation. 5G coverage is oversaturated. The cancer risk is significantly increased by this overbuilding of these towers. *** In conclusion 5G is a health risk and a tool prone to misuse by weaponisation. Kindly get rid of it.

A psychologist argues that EMF exposure affects cognition, mood, development and cellular health, cites r…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing as a psychologist – and as an individual concerned about the health of myself and others. Today we are exposed to massive amounts of frequencies to which we are biologically not adapted through our prior millions of years of evolution. The impacts on our health and wellbeing are many. Psychologically, common manifestations include increases in depression, anxiety, ADHD, learning disabilities and cognitive decline. Brain development and function is affected prenatally and onward throughout life, particularly with repeated and prolonged exposures. The entire nervous system, which strongly influences virtually every bodily function, is disrupted and compromised. See, for example, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0361923024002247. Cell towers in particular are associated with increases in DNA damage, blood-cell abnormalities, compromised immeunity and cancer. (https://www.ehn.org/cell-tower-radiation-health-effects) Additional symptoms of exposure (which can adversely affect health and personal functioning over time) may include headaches and disturbed sleep. Even the devices we use as individuals are hazardous, giving us additional, targeted exposure to abnormal electromagnetic fields.

The commenter requests long-term research on residents near towers, discusses reported symptoms and cance…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
As a homeowner in a neighborhood with a cell tower that went up recently nearby, I am interested in seeing the long-term research done on nn-EMF; and its impacts on human health. I have been told there are no known risks based on studies, but the studies seem to fall short - they have not studied long-term health of nearby residents. People with cell towers near their homes have reported headaches, fatigue, ringing in the ears, etc. I am not presuming cell towers to be the cause, but it’s worth taking seriously. Given radiation’s impact on human health (i.e. cancer), I’d like to be sure cell towers certainly do not contribute to such a diagnosis. In conclusion, the public needs to be reassured that cell towers do not negatively impact the overall wellbeing of those who live near them.

The commenter reports high fields from household wiring defects and a son’s chronic pain, describes reduc…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For 3 years, my home contained an extremely high EMF caused by an electrician who improperly installed dimmers and violated the electric code when wiring to fuse box. The EMF field was highest in my son’s bedroom and adjacent tv room. My healthy son then experienced unexplained chronic pain. I used an EMF meter to find defect and fixed it with the help of an electrician. Read the book Tracing EMF in Building Wiring and Grounding by Karl Riley. You will learn that the EMF studies that said EMF is safe DID NOT understand that some of the highest EMF is caused by residential wiring defects. The EMF studies that based their analysis upon the distance of homes with children with leukemia from high power lines DID NOT understand that the real danger was not high power lines, but residential wiring defects producing much higher EMF. If a house was 10 miles from a high power line and the resident had leukemia it had little to do with proximity to the power lines but probably a lot to do with whether that home had high EMF due to wiring defect. My son’s room had an EMF level of 80 to 120 mG whereas the level near the high power lines in my town was like 12 mG. I know because I started testing locations to understand. After the wiring defect was fixed in my house, the level dropped down to 0.14 mG. I used AC Milligaus meter by Alpha Lab Inc

The commenter requests independent evaluation of cumulative RF exposure, cancer, pregnancy and child-deve…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I request a comprehensive, independent evaluation of the potential health effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure from wireless technologies, particularly for children, pregnant women, developing fetuses, and communities near wireless infrastructure. As cell towers, small-cell antennas, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile devices become increasingly widespread, public health protections must keep pace. HHS should assess whether current exposure standards adequately address long-term, cumulative exposure and potentially vulnerable populations. 1. Cancer and long-term exposure I urge HHS to review evidence concerning RF-EMF exposure and cancer, including brain tumors and childhood cancers. Research should consider exposure duration, intensity, frequency, age at first exposure, and proximity to transmitting infrastructure. HHS should distinguish established findings from unresolved questions and identify gaps requiring further long-term research. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm in one exposure scenario should not be interpreted as proof that all scenarios have been adequately studied. 2. Pregnancy, birth defects, and fetal development I request an evaluation of human and experimental evidence concerning RF-EMF exposure and miscarriage, congenital abnormalities, fetal growth, premature birth, and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Research should account for confounding factors, accurately assess exposure, and clearly explain limitations. Pregnant women deserve transparent, evidence-based guidance on known risks, uncertainties, and reasonable exposure-reduction measures. 3. Children’s brain development Children warrant particular consideration because their brains and nervous systems are developing and their potential exposure may span decades. HHS should prioritize research into possible effects on neurological development, cognition, memory, attention, learning, behavior, and sleep. Studies should distinguish prenatal, childhood, and adolescent exposure and examine cumulative exposure from multiple sources. Long-term studies using objective exposure measurements, appropriate comparison groups, and independent oversight are essential. 4. Setback distances from schools, hospitals, childcare facilities, and homes HHS should evaluate whether minimum separation distances or additional siting safeguards are scientifically justified for cell towers, small-cell antennas, rooftop antennas, and other wireless infrastructure near schools, daycares, hospitals, maternity facilities, and residential neighborhoods. Specifically, HHS should: * Review studies linking proximity to transmitting infrastructure with health outcomes, accounting for measured exposure and antenna characteristics. * Compare U.S. exposure standards and siting practices with international standards and precautionary policies. * Evaluate cumulative exposure from multiple transmitters. * Consider additional protections for children, pregnant women, neonatal units, and other potentially vulnerable populations. * Recommend pre-installation assessments and independent post-installation exposure measurements, with results publicly accessible. * Determine whether minimum setbacks are justified and, if so, recommend distances appropriate to the facility type and exposure conditions. I recognize that distance alone does not determine exposure. Nevertheless, HHS should explicitly evaluate whether distance-based protections are warranted. Where evidence is insufficient, the agency should identify research gaps and consider proportionate precautionary measures while further studies are conducted. 5. Review of current exposure standards HHS should assess whether current U.S. RF exposure limits adequately address prolonged exposure, realistic living conditions, multiple simultaneous sources, and different stages of human development. The review should distinguish established effects from possible effects under investigation and findings that have not been consistently replicated. Compliance testing should reflect realistic conditions in homes, schools, workplaces, and healthcare facilities. 6. Independent research and transparency HHS should prioritize rigorous, independently funded research with transparent conflict-of-interest disclosures. Priorities should include cancer, reproductive outcomes, prenatal development, childhood neurological health, cumulative exposure, and the effectiveness of exposure-reduction and siting measures. HHS should publish its assessments, explain how conflicting findings are evaluated, and make results accessible to families, schools, healthcare providers, and local governments. Thank you for considering my comments.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We have our entire home hardwired to avoid wifi. I am very sensitive to EMF's. I get bad headaches, severe ear ringing, insomnia, a bad feeling in my head, and my eyes will hurt when exposed to this radiation. I have had problems with cellphones. My hand, wrist, and arm will become numb when using my cellphone. I bought a new Samsung S25 cellphone about 2 yrs ago and had to return it due to severe effects from this cellphone. I developed breast cancer when I worked at a hospital with many cells on their roof. Many nurses got cancer working there. I also became very ill when visiting Las Vegas and walking the street with the 5G small cells on every corner. I developed a severe headache and nose bleed from this. My father got very sick when a cell tower was installed close to his senior apartment building. He developed lymphocytic leukemia, severe insomnia, and horrible headaches from this radiation. The readings were sky high on my EMF meter when I took a reading in his apartment. Please regulate cellphones as my EMF meter registers high readings from my husband's and my cellphone. We havea cell tower 1 mile from our home. I cannot walk near there without bad symptoms.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you Honorable Secretary Robert Kennedy for caring about all the people who are suffering daily. Myself, husband and one of my sons have been injured from EMF, RT and WR exposure with severe tinnitus, pain in extremities, headaches, vertigo, constant interruption during sleep, rapid heart beats, raised blood pressures, fatigue and physical hits on our heads and bodies. I have went through breast cancer as a result of these radiation frequencies with no paternal or maternal family history of breast cancer. This has caused us to have severe AHI's. My husband can no longer work in his career as an IT analyst for IBM and me and my son had to undergo so many hardships with family because many did not know what was happening and thought we were losing our minds. It was such a horrific time but we are trying to stay strong in our faith with the Father to get us through and in constant prayer daily. I appreciate all you are doing for all civilians across the world to help stop this horrible weaponization. God bless you always. Tamera C. Williams

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We have multiple towers on our block. They are on Rooftops, lightpoles and giant poles with multiple boxes. We also have them all around the school I work at on rooftops. After these were installed near my home, my children began having anxiety. Our sleep has been distrupted with no other explanation. My ears have been ringing on and off ever since. A young girl on my block has thyroid cancer now.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment as a consumer concerned about long-term exposure to wireless radiation from phones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and other connected devices. I urge HHS to conduct a thorough, independent review of whether current exposure limits adequately protect public health. This review needs to consider those most heavily exposed and should examine potential effects beyond tissue heating, including evidence concerning cancer, reproductive health, and children’s development. Please prioritize research that reflects how people actually encounter wireless radiation: repeated exposure over many years, often from multiple sources and devices used close to the body. Assessments should consider signal strength, pulse patterns, duration, and combined exposure. Please consider Melnick and Moskowitz’s 2026 analysis of animal data, which argues that existing exposure limits may inadequately protect against cancer and reproductive harm (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6). I also ask HHS to evaluate Lai and Levitt’s review of exposure intensity, duration, and signal modulation (https://doi.org/10.1080/15368378.2022.2065683), and Scarato’s review of US regulatory gaps and proposed reforms (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583). These papers warrant careful consideration alongside the broader evidence, including studies that have not found adverse effects. I ask HHS to: •Assess whether additional protections are needed for children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable groups. •Support long-term research with safeguards against industry conflicts of interest. •Provide clear information about exposure and practical ways to reduce it, including wired alternatives in homes and schools. •Recommend updated standards wherever the evidence shows that existing limits are insufficient. Consumers should not have to navigate these questions alone. Please use this inquiry to advance transparent science, meaningful oversight, and public health protection.
