The Food and Drug Administration's webpages reporting that cellphones don't cause cancer and other health hazards have been taken down. This comes as the Department of Health and Human Services, under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is launching a new "study" on the health effects of cellphone usage. Under Kennedy's leadership, the anti-vaccination advocacy group Children's Health Defense sued in 2022 and lost a case against the Federal Communications Commission asserting that cellphone towers caused deleterious health effects. In 2022, Kennedy tweeted that "a growing body of research that calls cellphone safety into question."
Since cellphones tend to be held close to users' heads, brain cancer is one of the main concerns for alarmists like the current HHS secretary. The vast majority of research has concluded that there is essentially no correlation between cellphone use and cancer incidence.
