Parents, Teachers and Students:
Virtual Reality Headsets have never been
tested for safety for children and yet, our schools and
libraries are purchasing and promoting this product. To
operate these VR Headsets it requires a smart phone,
emitting microwave radiation, to be inserted directly in
front of a child’s eyes.
School Districts have not informed parents,
teachers or students of the Safety Manuals and
Disclaimers mandated by the federal government warning of
the permanent health risks from the prolonged use. Parents
have not given their informed consent for their
children to use this untested and unregulated technology
in our classrooms.
Phonegate: French Government Data Indicates
Cell Phones Expose Consumers To Radiation Levels Higher
Than Manufacturers Claim
The response from the Vancouver Island
Regional Libraries stated the parents would have to sign a
detailed Virtual Reality Rules, Terms and Conditions
and Waiver. Virtual Reality Programs have become
popular because of the commercials aimed at our children,
as the next “must have” product to purchase. Parents will
feel pressured to sign this waiver, with their children
begging to use the Virtual Reality Program and believe
that our government would never allow this technology,
with the potential of serious injuries, to hit the store
shelves if unsafe. Parents, beware, it is now up to the
public to prove Virtual Reality Headsets using smart
phones, is unsafe and should never be part of the
educational curriculum until scientific peer review
studies have proven Microwave Radiation Exposure is safe
for children.
Below is a link to
the EMF-Portal, an extensive literature database with an
inventory of over 25,000 publications and over 5,000
summaries of individual peer reviewed scientific studies
on the health effects of electromagnetic fields.
The specific age
groups suggested for the different products are for
age appropriate content, NOT safety.
· Oculus Rift: no one under the
age of 13 may use the Oculus Rift.
· Merge: no one under the age
of 10 may use the Merge VR. If under 13 years old, the
consent of a parent or guardian is required.
· View Master VR: no one under
the age of 7 years old may use the View Master VR. If
between the ages 7 and 13 years old, the consent of a
parent or guardian is required.
Letter from Parentsforsafeschools to
Vancouver Island Regional Library and Greater Victoria
Regional Library
Response from Vancouver Island Regional
Library
Virtual Reality Rules, Terms and Conditions
and Waiver
Mainstream media is
own and operated by the wireless industry and they will
not cover stories that will affect the potential sale of
their products. Please contact your school principal and
school board and let them know this technology has never
been tested for safety on our children and we don’t want
wireless Virtual Reality Headsets in our schools.
Thank you,
Janis Hoffmann
