Don't Fall for It Again: The Government Said Lead, Cigarettes, and Asbestos Were Safe Too

Don't Fall For It Again!

Let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we? Remember when the government assured us that lead was perfectly safe? Or how about the days when smoking cigarettes was advertised by doctors and hailed as a healthy habit? And let’s not forget the decades when asbestos was used in homes and schools, even though it turned out to be a deadly carcinogen. Each time, we were told by the same authorities who now claim to protect us that these things were safe, only to learn later that they were catastrophically wrong.

A Dangerous Pattern

The truth is, the government has a long history of assuring us that certain substances or technologies are "safe," only for devastating health consequences to emerge later. Lead, cigarettes, asbestos—these weren’t small missteps. These were massive public health disasters that affected millions of lives. And it was the same institutions, like the World Health Organization (WHO), that insisted these things were no cause for concern.

Now, they’re saying the same thing about 5G and other wireless technologies. But should we trust them?

WHO Says Mobile Phones and 5G Are Safe... For Now

In a recent report, the WHO claimed there’s no concrete evidence linking mobile phones and the radiation from 5G technology to increased cancer risks. They cite study after study, just as they did with lead, cigarettes, and asbestos. The same WHO that, back in 2011, said mobile phones were "possibly carcinogenic" is now calling for more research to reclassify them, while reassuring the public that there's no immediate cause for alarm.

But let’s be real. They’ve been wrong before—dead wrong. And that’s the whole point. Just because the WHO or the government says something is safe today doesn’t mean it won’t turn out to be harmful tomorrow. The stakes are too high to simply sit back and hope for the best.

Why You Should Be Skeptical of "Safety" Claims

History tells us that when it comes to public health, skepticism is your best friend. Every time the government or some official organization insists that a new technology is safe, it’s worth questioning what they’re not telling you. After all, with lead, cigarettes, and asbestos, they waited until the damage was done before sounding the alarm. Why would this time be any different?

5G and other wireless technologies are blanketing our environment in electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on a scale that’s never been seen before. Yet the studies are still young, and the long-term effects are largely unknown. So when the WHO tells you not to worry, remember that they’ve been wrong before—plenty of times.

How to Protect Yourself—Even If They're "Right"

Whether or not the WHO is right about 5G, wouldn’t it be better to play it safe? Just like how we now take steps to avoid lead, asbestos, and smoking, we should be proactive in protecting ourselves from potential EMF exposure. That’s where 5GFree comes in.
