Dear
Dr. Bonnie Henry,
Parents, teachers and students want
to know why the BC Provincial Health Officer has not done her due diligence and
informed the School Boards about the health risks from the prolonged and
accumulative exposure to RF radiation emitting from wireless technology in our
schools.
On March 26-29, 2018, the
National Toxicology Program (NTP), a 10-year study costing the US 25 million
dollars, had eleven experts review the reports from the NTP's cell phone
radiation studies. They concluded that
exposure to cell phone radiation caused a rare cancer, malignant schwannoma
in the heart, and incidences of glioma, a rare, aggressive and highly malignant
brain cancer.
Conclusions were
based on NTP’s scale of “clear evidence”, “some evidence”, “equivocal
evidence”, and “no evidence”. Clear Evidence being conclusive.
"The evidence indicating
wireless is carcinogenic has increased and can no longer be ignored," stated University of Toronto Dalla Lana School of
Public Health Professor Emeritus Anthony B. Miller MD, Member of the Royal
Colleges of Physicians of Canada and the UK, and Senior Medical Advisor to EHT
who is also a long-term advisor to the World Health Organization.

Soon after, the
Ramazzini Institute also completed the world's
largest animal study on cell tower radiation and confirmed the findings of the
National Toxicology Program link to Cancer. This information accompanied with
the over 26,000 peer reviewed studies by scientists and medical experts https://www.emf-portal.org/en is
more than enough evidence for you to apply the precautionary principal to
protect our children.
In January 1998, The Wingspread Conference
held a three-day academic conference where the Precautionary Principle was
defined. It was agreed the
Precautionary Principle would be implemented when an activity raises threats of
harm to human health or the environment, even if some cause and effect
relationships are not fully established scientifically. The
Precautionary Principle shifts the burden of proof, insisting that those
responsible for an activity must vouch for its harmlessness and be held
responsible if damage occurs.
http://sehn.org/wingspread-conference-on-the-precautionary-principle/
Health is a Provincial
Jurisdiction. Your duty and obligation as the Provincial Health Officer and as a
Doctor is to implement the Precautionary Principle by
honouring your Hippocratic Oath, “nil nocere” to do no harm and protect our
children from this health crisis.
All schools now
employ industrial wireless networks, exposing students and staff to ubiquitous
microwave radiation without any way to shield or avoid this mandatory exposure.
Parents have never been informed of the health risks
or given their written consent to expose their children to microwave radiation
in our schools. School Districts have refused to educate students,
parents and staff on how to avoid excessive RFR exposure when handling wireless
devices during class time as outlined in user manuals, requirements mandated by
law.
Vancouver Island School Boards have shifted the responsibility of potential lawsuits caused by this wireless
technology to
their School Medical Health Officer, Dr. Stanwick, who has endorsed the installation of a known 2b
carcinogen in our schools and is unable to provide parents with any peer reviewed
studies stating the safety of radiation exposure. Dr. Stanwick then shifted “the responsibility for professional
oversight” to the Provincial Health Officer.
The
BC Ministry of Education has stated they set educational standards, allocates funds
and monitors student achievement but
decisions
regarding the planning and delivery of supports and services for all students
are the responsibility of local boards of education
and school district administrators. This
includes decisions around exposure to RF frequencies and the use of WiFi in the
classroom setting.
The Health Minister Philpott was also unable to provide parents with peer
reviewed studies stating the safety of Wifi safety in our schools and has
instead relied
on Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 exposure
“guidelines.”
But on
February 20, 2013, James McNamee, scientist for Health Canada, admitted in the
Superior Court of Quebec, that the Safety Code 6 guideline for microwave
radiation emitting from wireless technology is based ONLY on thermal effects,
heating of the skin. This means Canada
does not have any regulations in place to protect the public from long-term
exposure to the biological effects of the “non-thermal” levels of microwave
radiation. http://www.magdahavas.com/health-canada-admits-safety-code-6-guideline-for-microwave-radiation-is-based-only-on-thermal-effects/
On page 3, inside the Safety Code 6
document it states, “These guidelines
apply to all individuals working at, or
visiting, federally regulated sites and may also be adopted by the
provinces, industry or other interested parties.” Schools are not federally regulated sites and, therefore, SC 6 does not apply to wifi in
schools. The fact that the provinces may
Adopt SC 6 means that the provinces are free to set their own guidelines.
In
a report by Dr. Martin Pall he discusses Ken
Foster and John Moulder, 2 industry affiliated scientists who, for years, have
argued that there is no evidence of harm from exposure to microwave radiation.
These 2 “bent” scientists have been on Health Canada panels and reviewed Safety
Code 6, stating it is protective of non-thermal effects, when it applies to
thermal effects only. On page 412 (8 of 12) he explains how they use poor
science to help support wifi in schools, cell phones, etc https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cxHocOxsX33OO3dsOfJVLHEj2BVl3Klw/view
Tim Singer from Health Canada responded to a letter concerning the
radiation levels in our schools by stating, Health Canada is aware of concerns related to
Wi-Fi in schools, such decisions are not within Health Canada’s mandate. We recommend that you continue to consult your
local school board or provincial authority to discuss your concerns.
The finger
pointing has now gone full circle and it is obvious that Provincial Health
Officer will be held accountable for wilfully ignoring the overwhelming amount
of scientific proof of harm.
Parents want to
exercise their right to protect their children from harm and are calling on you
to take immediate action to mitigate the risk and inform the School Boards
throughout the province of the established health risks associated with long term exposure to microwave
radiation by recommending the use of hard wired connections to access
the Internet in our schools.
The burden of proof should not be put upon the public
to prove that it’s unsafe, but upon the industry to prove it is
safe.
