11-Year UK Study Reports No Health Danger From Mobile Phone Transmissions

Mark.JUK writes "The United Kingdom's 11-years long Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Programme (MTHR) has today published a comprehensive report that summarizes 31 research projects, which investigated the potential for biological or adverse health effects of mobile phone and wireless signals on humans (e.g. as a cause for various cancers or other disorders). The good news is that the study, which has resulted in nearly 60 papers appearing in peer-reviewed scientific journals, found 'no evidence' of a danger from mobile transmissions in the typically low frequency radio spectrum bands (e.g. 900MHz and 1800MHz etc.)."

    Give me a fucking break. It's all fine and good to bash anyone who believes in something you don't believe in, just because you can say it's horse shit, just on your say so and the sort of commonsense of the atheist scientist. But seriously man, you know how many things you believe in are going to be disproven in a couple decades? Do you know how many things the mainstream says is impossible but is impossible, and how often this has repeated itself over the centuries? Have more of an open mind. Maybe there is something to astrology, the aliens, the conspiracy theories, and even the observations of mothers with suddenly autistic children. It's real easy to say it's all horseshit. Real easy. And it drives me crazy to read this shit on slashdot and elsewhere all the time, same tone as the Christians or Republicans or anyone else who is just so obviously correct and yet so obviously not correct.

    There's a reason why astrology has been studied for thousands and thousands of years. There's a reason why hundreds of whistleblowers' testimony about aliens and the government is floating around on the web. There is some kind of correlation between something or other and autism now, because it's definitely on the rise. This is all just mentioning what you mentioned, in order to keep this short, but would you like a laundry list of shit you were taught in school that is most definitely not true and yet you will bitch and moan on slashdot about it being so obviously true and people are such idiots because they don't believe it? No, you don't, because you're smart, you're right, you actually know what's going on. Yeah, right. NOW, go ahead and try to mod me down further.
