Ben Goldacre put together the definitive article on the BBC Panorama WiFi program. Starting with the Independent’s stupid headline the other week, the BBC followed up with a scaremongering report suggesting that WiFi causes illness. Where did they go to measure the WiFi signals? In a school: because they know that anything affecting children is at least three times as important as issues effecting adults…
It may actually turn out that WiFi is harmful to health, but until a study finds conclusive evidence that it is, we probably shouldn’t follow people around who sell tin-hats (as the BBC reporter did) and believe what they say.
