That said, the calls for more research by mobile phone hysterics, including Fist, still ring hollow. I think not. His rhetoric exposes him. Amid his calls for more research, Fist likens the mobile phone industry to the public's image of the tobacco industry - i.e., supposedly an insidious cartel willing to do anything to hide the truth about the dangers of its product from the public. In some ways, this tactic is harkens back to the Middle Ages when disfavored individuals were accused of being witches and sorcerers .
Fist writes for unsophisticated readers who happen to comprise the bulk of the public.
It likely will continue to prove that mobile phone technology is safe. Globally, research programs are being launched. In fact, the WHO is sponsoring a study in which Australia is already participating. The FDA in the US will do follow-up work on certain studies, with the support of industry. It's virtually certain that mobile phones, which have levels of microwave radiation orders of magnitude less intense than microwave ovens, will also get a clean bill of health.
