Cell phones, radio, TV, computers, routers, GPS, home devices, etc. No one is dying of those waves penetrating their bodies.
During WWII, and long afterward, science "experts" were surprised to discover all the damage done to those exposed to atomic bombs. That includes American GIs in the western deserts as well as those in Japan.

Today's tecno-damage to humans may not be either immediate or obvious. While no one may be dropping dead today, perhaps future generations may experience untold suffering.

Apples and Oranges. Big difference between isotope radiation and electromagnetic radiation waves. EMR waves have been around as long as the 1940's when radio and TV have been broadcasted.

Here's your solution:
Build a Faraday cage around or in your home; build another for your vehicle; and most importantly build a Faraday suit for when you venture out of your safe place to guard against the Sun's EMR.

Oh, and shitcan all your electronics in your house. You might want to start with your computer first since it gives off EM waves. Good luck, and think about moving to the Antarctica. Oops, sorry, the Sun's EMR reaches there in the form of light. You could always build a EMR shelter a couple miles underground.

Just messing with ya...lol

A lot of flip replies on this thread (and hey, I like to laugh too). But agree with you that this is a serious problem.

Before anyone lectures that ionizing radiation is different from microwave radiation: Yes, we know that. As far as I've seen on this thread, no one is making a direct comparison of those two kinds of radiation. The comparison is between the "expert" opinions on the potential adverse effects on human and animal health.

Another analogy may be to the "scientific" consensus on the effects of smoking. Smoking used to be very popular, almost universal. And the tobacco lobby was powerful. Lots of jobs were dependent on the continuation of the industry. So there was reluctance for many years for any official body to pronounce that smoking was, in fact, generally injurious to health.

We have a somewhat analogous situation today with the use of cell phones, wifi etc. Use of devices that depend on this technology are extremely popular, and there is of course a huge world-wide industry dependent on continued use of this technology.

But if and when the true dangers of this kind of radiation are exposed, we will see the mother-of-all product liability lawsuits. (Not advocating for this, just predicting it WILL happen.)

The energy of a photon is proportional to frequency. Gamma-ray frequencies are 10^10 higher than microwave frequencies (that's one, followed by 10 zeroes!). Microwave frequencies correspond to rotational frequencies of molecules, which means that all they can do is heat molecules up if they happen to have the right frequency (that's how a microwave oven works).

Gamma ray photons have energies sufficient to break and rearrange chemical bonds in random and harmful ways. They can shake-and-bake DNA, which can cause cells to die or become cancerous, etc.
