Researchers Warn of Wi-Fi Related Birth Defects

Don’t fret if your newborn just popped out of the womb sporting horns and a tail, that just means your router is firing on all cylinders. Or, as a British scientist and former naval microwave specialist warns, it would serve as proof that Wi-Fi leads to birth defects. “When I realized these same frequencies and powers (as weapons during the Cold War) were being used as Wi-Fi in schools, I decided to come out of retirement and travel around the world free of charge and explain exactly what the problem is going to be in the future,” Barrie Trower told Postmedia News in an Interview. “Children are not small adults, they are underdeveloped adults, so there are different symptoms. What you are doing in schools is transmitting at low levels.” Even though Wi-Fi is generally considered safe, Trower contends that no scientific studies exist that deem prolonged exposure won’t cause any harm.
