“They say” is not the same as “claims.”

Like Chuck Norris, when Trump tilts at windmills, their vanes stop turning.

At least the feral cats are happy and fed. Not so much for the birds.

Trump is playing, “Oh look a squirrel”. The media will hang on this for the rest of the week while he gets something important done.

It leads to chronic stress which is associated with increased cancer.

Really nothing controversial, more fake news trying to make an issue of it.

Cause? Perhaps trigger a cancerous cell to start multiplying. Flashing lights may trigger an epileptic fit but doesn’t cause epilepsy.

I might not be as concerned by the noise as I would be from the sight of the thing and the shadows it creates. I have heard of people who have their curtains perpetually closed because the cycle of the shadows gives them headaches, similar to the effect of driving a car past a row of trees with the sun shining through them.

I don’t doubt that at all.
