This comment is totally ignorant on the science behind electromagnetic fields that are used for telecommunications. If light or like anthropomorphic EMF, it would be a laser. If telecommunication radio frequency waves were not polarized they could not transmit any information.

I'm not sure I understand the metaphor. What is wrong with lasers? If they are pointed at your eye they could be harmful, but we don't have an 'eye' for the waves that are pointed at us, and a laser powerful enough to do damage to us for other reasons like heat would show likewise the same damage in non viewable wavelengths. No one is contending that EMF waves can't harm people, since it is know that they can if they are of specific type and power. People are asking how it is possible the ones that exist that are of low power used for communication could harm some incredibly small number of people and not everyone, since it is a physical effect. If you flipped it and someone said they were immune to bullets, would you believe them?

    And do you google for studies you don't read and use them to prove a point that the studies don't address?

      I have a google scholar alert for it and I read every study no matter the result. Why wouldnt I?

        Your linked studies said nothing relevant. Are you going to address my comment or not?

What in the world is anthropomorphically generated electromagnetic radiation? This isn't a phrase that's coming up in any search results and my colleague with a PhD in particle physics has never heard of this phrase.
