Link Between Covid-19 and Wireless Radiation (RF) Exposure

The National Institute of Health (NIH) published a scientific study in 2021 showing “a substantial overlap between Covid-19 and RF exposure”. This includes wireless RF smart meters, cell phones, wifi, cell towers, 4G, 5G, etc. Exposure to RF wireless radiation weakens “host immunity and increases SARS-CoV virulence”. RF is synonymous WCR, which stands for Wireless Communication Radiation.

The study concludes: “RF exposure is a widespread, yet often neglected, environmental stressor that can produce a wide range of adverse bioeffects. For decades, independent research scientists worldwide have emphasized the health risks and cumulative damage caused by RF. … policymakers should consider RF a potentially toxic environmental stressor. Methods for reducing RF exposure should be provided to all patients and the general population.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8580522

MLEC plans to replace our existing electric meters with microwave radiation RF smart meters beginning in January. The RF meters would pulse microwave radiation throughout our homes, businesses, schools, community parks and playgrounds, transmitting RF radiation from house to house, and then over yet-to-be-installed antennas - creating a new, additional “mesh network” of microwave radiation over even the county’s most rural areas - basically everywhere.

The science is in - here are just a few of the thousands of studies showing health risks to RF:

An important movie about RF smart meters

These health effects are real and many are suffering from them in Lewis County already.

Right now we have the freedom to reduce our families’ exposure to wireless radiation if we want to. As the negative effects on health and privacy are more widely understood, more and more people are choosing to keep their cell phones off, or on airplane mode much of the time, hard-wiring their computers (easy to do) or turning off their wifi routers at night to lessen their exposure.

RF smart meters cannot be turned off. Their installation in Lewis County would be a constant assault on our freedoms and on our health. For the protection of our God-given rights, and the health of our children and our futures, other options must be found. We already have PLC smart meters, which send our electricity usage data over the wired electric line to MLEC, so a meter-reader does not have to come to our homes. We do not give our consent to MLEC to install these RF meters here.

For the scientifically inclined, here is more information: Exposure to wireless radiation weakens “host immunity and increases SARS-CoV virulence by (1) causing morphologic changes in erythrocytes including echinocyte and rouleaux formation that may be contributing to hypercoagulation; (2) impairing microcirculation and reducing erythrocyte and hemoglobin levels exacerbating hypoxia; (3) amplifying immune dysfunction, including immunosuppression, autoimmunity, and hyperinflammation; (4) increasing cellular oxidative stress and the production of free radicals exacerbating vascular injury and organ damage; (5) increasing intracellular Ca2+ essential for viral entry, replication, and release, in addition to promoting pro-inflammatory pathways; and (6) worsening heart arrhythmias and cardiac disorders.”

Please understand that this information is being shared with the greatest respect and appreciation for Lewis County, those born and raised here, MLEC and all who call this special place home.

Sincerely,

Jean Ford
