French Woman Gets €800/month For Electromagnetic-Field 'Disability'
An anonymous reader writes: If you were dismayed to hear Tuesday's news that a school is being sued over Wi-Fi sickness, you might be even more disappointed in a recent verdict by the French judicial system. A court based in Toulouse has awarded a disability claim of €800 (~$898) per month for three years over a 39-year-old woman's "hypersensitivity to electromagnetic waves." Robin Des Toits, an organization that campaigns for "sufferers" of this malady, was pleased: "We can no longer say that it is a psychiatric illness." (Actually, we can and will.) The woman has been living in a remote part of France's south-west mountains with no electricity around. She claims to be affected by common gadgets like cellphones.
And, I assume you are in the antivax camp as well. My son has ADD. Trust me, it's very real and the brand drugs work but the generic doesn't. FDA confirmed that earlier this year.
ADD is very fake. People have differing attentions spans and children are supposed to have shorter ones. ADD / ADHD are just excuses for why isn't my parenting technique working. Some people suck at parenting.
