- wmeredith 8y agoI did not watch the video, but those last two links reference the same Kaiser Permanente study which is thoroughly rebutted here: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/40218/do-wifi-and-cellphones-increase-the-risk-of-miscarriage https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/40218/do-wifi-a... The main thrust of it is that the particular study the media twisted into “cell phones cause miscarriages” looked at radiation only in the 40–1000Hz range which has nothing to do with WiFi or cell phones. Furthermore, the study itself made no claims at all of a physical mechanism causing the effect that was observed.

Example: ATT got iPhone exclusivity, an iPhone launch was treated like a sort of 'dangerous Christmas' that was high risk if things went wrong (stock problems) but high rewards if things went right (iPhone was exclusive to ATT).
