Doctors discuss potential impact of 5G technology on health care costs
Prior to a symposium held at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto on May 31, doctors and scientists expressed their concerns about rising health care costs likely from the rollout of 5G technology throughout the province. The speakers were introduced by Frank Clegg, CEO of Canadians For Safe Technology (C4ST), himself former President of Microsoft Canada. He said each speaker has delivered expert testimony to the Parliamentary Health Committee in Ottawa on the subject of wireless radiation and human health. The first panelist to speak was Dr. Riina Bray who is also Medical Director of the Provincial Environmental Health Clinic at Women’s College Hospital. Bray said, “We are concerned that the upcoming introduction of 5G will significantly increase the proximity and extent of exposure to microwave technology in Ontarians.” Dr. Magda Harris, Professor Emeritus at Trent University whose pioneering research and early warnings alerted the government to acid rain, urged testing of the longterm biological and health effects of 5G technology before its introduction.
