3 studies on RF/5G and COVID and the censorship blocking these papers

by | Dec 5, 2021

To date, there have been 3 papers published in the U.S. regarding RF/5G and COVID.  Tsiang and Havas paper  https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/2371/193545802 was published in April 2021 following several rejections from censorship on the topic.  Rubik and Brown paper TX_1:ABS~AT/TX_2:ABS~AT (nih.gov) has finally been published after overcoming many obstacles and censorship, which is described in Beverly Rubik’s message forwarded below.  In order to publish their paper, they had to tone down their language from their original pre-print to say that wireless communication radiation including 5G is only a POSSIBLE contributing factor in the pandemic, although they believed the evidence pointed to a stronger conclusion.  I am forwarding her message as an example of the climate of censorship that we are living under, so if you rely only on mainstream media for your news, you are not getting the whole truth or hearing anything against the accepted narrative, except that those challenging the accepted narrative are ridiculed or called names like “conspiracy theorists” or “anti-vac”.  Truth that’s in opposition to the accepted narrative is cancelled or censored, and personal reputations attacked.

 

Previous email about all 3 papers and the effects of RF and EMF on the immune system and CV are also forwarded below.

Rubik and Brown: Evidence for a connection between coronavirus disease-19 and exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless communications including 5G

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8580522/

Abstract – Background and Aim: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) public health policy has focused on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus and its effects on human health while environmental factors have been largely ignored. In considering the epidemiological triad (agent-host-environment) applicable to all disease, we investigated a possible environmental factor in the COVID-19 pandemic: ambient radiofrequency radiation from wireless communication systems including microwaves and millimeter waves. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, surfaced in Wuhan, China shortly after the implementation of city-wide (fifth generation [5G] of wireless communications radiation [WCR]), and rapidly spread globally, initially demonstrating a statistical correlation to international communities with recently established 5G networks. In this study, we examined the peer-reviewed scientific literature on the detrimental bioeffects of WCR and identified several mechanisms by which WCR may have contributed to the COVID-19 pandemic as a toxic environmental cofactor. By crossing boundaries between the disciplines of biophysics and pathophysiology, we present evidence that WCR may: (1) cause morphologic changes in erythrocytes including echinocyte and rouleaux formation that can contribute to hypercoagulation; (2) impair microcirculation and reduce erythrocyte and hemoglobin levels exacerbating hypoxia; (3) amplify immune system dysfunction, including immunosuppression, autoimmunity, and hyperinflammation; (4) increase cellular oxidative stress and the production of free radicals resulting in vascular injury and organ damage; (5) increase intracellular Ca2+ essential for viral entry, replication, and release, in addition to promoting pro-inflammatory pathways; and (6) worsen heart arrhythmias and cardiac disorders. Relevance for Patients: In short, WCR has become a ubiquitous environmental stressor that we propose may have contributed to adverse health outcomes of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and increased the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we recommend that all people, particularly those suffering from SARS-CoV-2 infection, reduce their exposure to WCR as much as reasonably achievable until further research better clarifies the systemic health effects associated with chronic WCR exposure.

Message From Beverly Rubik (brubik@earthlink.net)

Our paper on COVID in relation to microwave radiation was finally published!

Please know that our published paper has been greatly revised as a result of the peer review process.

Here is the link to our final published peer-reviewed paper:

https://www.jctres.com/media/downloads/jctres07202105007/%5B5%5D%20JCTR_v7i5_007_20211025_V3.pdf

Here is the story underlying this.

We had trouble publishing this paper due to the censorship of science and medicine that has gotten worse during the pandemic. First, we faced
some outright rejections by pre-print servers and a couple of medical journals just based on the topic alone. Finally we found a journal that
would at least perform peer review. Some 48 peer reviewers were asked by the Journal of Clinical and Translational Research to review our paper!
In the end, 12 peers actually reviewed it. Note that only 3 to 5 peer reviewers are typically used. We spent months responding to their 3
phases of peer review. It seemed that they were trying to wear us down and make us quit. The peer review and our rebuttal amounted to an
additional 73 pages, about 3x longer than our original paper! The peer review and rebuttal are also published in this journal.

I have never before experienced such an extraordinary peer review process, and I have published over 90 scientific and medical papers in the past.

In the end, we had to “tone down” the language in our paper to get it accepted. We stated that wireless communication radiation including 5G
is only a POSSIBLE contributing factor in the pandemic, although we believe that the evidence points to a stronger conclusion.

The medical science of epidemiology maintains that there are 3 categories of causes underlying all diseases: an agent (virus in this
case), the health of the host, and the environment. Even the CDC website shows this “epidemiological triangle.” However, discussing possible
environmental factors in this pandemic has been neglected and forbidden by mainstream media.

Now we hope to raise public consciousness about 5G with this publication as we move forward with interviews and other media coverage to discuss this topic.

This publication is “open source”, which means that anyone can post it or use it on other media, as long as they cite the original publication.
Feel free to post it or pass it along.

Thank you for your interest in our work.

Kind regards,
Beverly Rubik

Subject: 3 studies on RF/5G and COVID. EBV, Wireless & Long COVID. 2/3 long haulers never had COVID! Similarities in Brain MRI of long COVID and EHS/MW Sickness

1) Please see these papers on how wireless and 5G have made COVID worse by weakening the immune system and increasing inflammation:

    • EMFs increase IL-6 production

TO read more about wireless health effects:

 

2) Epstein-Barr Virus, Wireless & Long COVID.

 

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) (reactivation) appears to be a cause of long COVID as well as severe COVID.  However, note that EMF exposure could also reactivate EBV, and chronic RF exposure, which every average person is (unknowingly) saturated in from their Wi-Fi, public Wi-Fi hot spots in their cable modem/router, cell phones, smart TV, smart appliances, computers, laptops/tablets, cordless phones. wireless doorbell and alarm system, baby monitors, personal assistants like alexa, ring, etc, is ever increasing, and worsened during the lockdowns when adults and children participated in many hours daily of videoconferencing via Wi-Fi, which produces the highest levels of wireless radiation.  EBV could be reactivated by wireless radiation due to calcineurin inhibition (wireless radiation has been proven to increase production of reactive oxygen species which inhibits calcineurin activity, which in turn inhibits the immune system and increases opportunistic infections like EBV) according to Doyon and Johannson 2017  Electromagnetic fields may act via calcineurin inhibition to suppress immunity, thereby increasing risk for opportunistic infection: Conceivable mechanisms of action – ScienceDirect (my highlighted copy, Doyon…,  attached).

Also note that  95% of the population has EBV, and if it remains dormant, there are no EBV symptoms; however, if it reactivates, then long COVID or severe COVID could occur if COVID is present. Please see below for explanation.

  1. a) Long COVID symptoms likely caused by Epstein-Barr virus reactivation

According to https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-06-covid-symptoms-epstein-barr-virus-reactivation.html The majority of those with long COVID symptoms (67%) were positive for EBV reactivation, yet only 10% of controls indicated reactivation.  The difference was significant (p < 0.001, Fisher’s exact test).  This study also found that 30.3% of COVID patients had long term symptoms consistent with long COVID after initial recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection.

 

  1. b)  78% of severe COVID-19 patients have EBV, which is 44% higher than the EBV present in non-COVID patients, and statistically significant p = 0.04.

EBV was correlated to interleukin-6 (IL-6) in COVID patients ( r = 0.621) and can induce expression of IL-6  according to https://ccforum.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13054-020-03384-6

Elevated (IL-6) is strongly associated with respiratory failure (p=0.000012) in COVID  https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.01.20047381v2

EMFs can activate latent EBV.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9276003/   and increase IL 6 production; one study of many showing this is https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21710276/

[95% of the population has EBV https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25822555/

Once a person contracts EBV, it remains in the body’s B cells as a dormant (latent) infection, which does not cause symptoms.

But if it reactivates, then EBV symptoms come back, and EBV can reactivate during times of stress, including oxidative stress.

(To read more about health problems caused by EBV and EBV reactivation https://rawlsmd.com/health-articles/epstein-barr-virus-a-key-player-in-chronic-illness ) ]

  1. c) Increasing EMF exposures in our environment from wireless and 5G expansion might be reactivating EBV in people, which would increase IL-6 and COVID severity.

As RF and 5G expansion continues, more will have symptoms of EHS/microwave sickness, which has likely not been recognized as EHS/microwave sickness and mistaken for long COVID, since most have never heard of microwave sickness because FCC and industry claim that there are no biological health effects from wireless radiation at low levels (i.e. low levels not high enough to cause tissue heating), despite the thousands of independent, peer-reviewed studies that show health effects at non-thermal levels Physicians for Safe Technology | Scientific Literature (mdsafetech.org)  .

 

In this article, an Argentinian doctor has seen an increase of electrmagnetic hypersensitivity – headaches, irritability, lack of concentration, fatigue, sleep problems, tinnitus – during lockdowns HTTPS://WWW.INFOBAE.COM/SALUD/2020/10/22/HIPERSENSIBILIDAD-QUIMICA-MULTIPLE-OTRA-PROTAGONISTA-DE-LA-PANDEMIA/?FBCLID=IWAR0-IWNKSCBBO_5TKFLU0H2VSLDLGS6JMMUPQMTNBO8UXLHKRXPXDQSP7AS (article is in Spanish, but click “translate” when prompted to get English translation)

[ Here are 10 tips on how to reduce your exposure and set-up a low radiation workstation for you and your children https://ehtrust.org/how-to-set-up-a-low-emf-safe-tech-computer-workstation/  ]

 d) Higher radiation exposure levels from 5G enabled by the FCC.

With FCC’s proposal to increase exposure limits in December 2019 to accommodate the higher radiation levels from 5G  https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-19-126A1.pdf that allow localized thermal tissue heating in small (1cm2) areas of any part of the body (including brain, skin, eyes) to 4000 uW/cm2 indefinitely from 1000 uW/cm2 for 30 minutes (paragraphs 127-128), harvesting of 5G mmW for electrical power is now possible.

This article https://newatlas.com/energy/5g-energy-harvesting-wireless-power/  shows just how high and wasteful 5G radiation levels are.  An invention by Georgia Tech – an antenna the size of a playing card that can harvest electromagnetic energy from 5G signals and use it to power devices – was not possible until 5G.  “5G has been designed for blazing fast and low-latency communications,” reads the Georgia Tech team’s latest study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports. “To do so, mm-wave frequencies were adopted and allowed unprecedently high radiated power densities by the FCC. Unknowingly, the architects of 5G have, thereby, created a wireless power grid capable of powering devices at ranges far exceeding the capabilities of any existing technologies.” … harvest around 6 microwatts at around 180 meters (590 ft) from a 5G transmitter… more than enough to power a range of small sensors and devices, particularly in the Internet of Things space, simply by harvesting energy that would otherwise be wasted. “I’ve been working on energy harvesting conventionally for at least six years, and for most of this time it didn’t seem like there was a key to make energy harvesting work in the real world, because of FCC limits on power emission and focalization,” said Jimmy Hester, senior lab advisor and the CTO and co-founder of Atheraxon, a Georgia Tech spinoff developing 5G RFID technology. “With the advent of 5G networks, this could actually work and we’ve demonstrated it. That’s extremely exciting — we could get rid of batteries.”

3)   2/3 of “long COVID” patients didn’t have COVID! So what is causing their long COVID?

I’ve been reading that a lot of people are more scared of long COVID than COVID, and some are getting vaccinations because they want to avoid long COVID. However, there is evidence that long COVID may NOT be caused by SARS-CoV-2.

  1. a) SARS-CoV-2  not likely responsible for 2/3 of long COVID patients’ symptoms because 2/3 of long haulers didn’t have COVID according to testing;  most long COVID patients are relatively young, not old and sick, who are more likely to have more severe COVID than young people

From https://www.statnews.com/2021/03/22/we-need-to-start-thinking-more-critically-speaking-cautiously-long-covid/ :

More than 2/3 of long haulers tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 per RT-PCR test, and more than 2/3 also tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in 3762 people around the world per  https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S2589-5370%2821%2900299-6   Study after study has found that antibodies remain positive in a majority of people with confirmed infections for many months, so it’s highly probable that long-haulers who did NOT have a positive PCR test in the acute phase and who also have negative antibody tests are “true negatives,” i.e., they did not have COVID.

The study found that over 2/3 tested negative for PCR and antibodies for COVID, from Table 1:

Diagnostic (RT-PCR/antigen) Positive 600 / 2330** = 26% tested PCR positive for COVID (= 74% tested negative for PCR)

Antibody Positive (IgG, IgM or both) 683 / 2166 = 31.5% tested antibody positive for COVID (= 68.5% tested negative for antibodies)

“… if some proportion of long Covid patients were never infected with SARS-COV-2, it shows that it’s possible for anyone to misattribute chronic symptoms to this virus. …the symptoms of acute SARS-CoV-2 are often not unique, and can be caused by other respiratory infections. But what’s more notable is that the late-December survey also found virtually no difference in the long-haul symptom burden between those with and without antibody evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection (or any positive test), which undercuts the likelihood of a causative role for SARS-CoV-2 as the predominant driver of chronic symptoms in that cohort… The symptoms of this condition are … predominantly, non-respiratory in nature, and the people most affected seem to be relatively young, whereas those most susceptible to severe acute Covid-19 are, on average, older and sicker.

  1. b) Many reported long COVID symptoms are similar to EHS/microwave sickness (RF exposure is always increasing, and accelerating since 5G, and also increasing from increased wireless video conferencing from home for school and work because of lockdowns.  See 10 tips on how to reduce your exposure and set-up a low radiation workstation https://ehtrust.org/how-to-set-up-a-low-emf-safe-tech-computer-workstation/)

From this Dec. 2020 survey study of 3762 people around the world https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S2589-5370%2821%2900299-6

% Symptoms reported by Long COVID patients that are also classic EHS/microwave sickness symptoms:

From FIg. 2

45% + had skin sensations

70% had tachycardia

35% had extreme thirst

30% had skin rashes

15% had bladder control issues

 

From Fig. 3,

25% + experienced feeling “electrically zapped/shocked”

85% had cognitive functioning problems

85% had brain fog

70% had memory problems

60% had difficulty with executive functioning

40% had “slow thoughts”

80% had sleep problems

70% had insomnia

60% had anxiety

50% had irritability

50% had mood lability

75% had headaches

25% had headaches after mental exertion

 

 

In the midst of COVID panic, are our governments and health agencies capable of discerning radiation sickness from long COVID, since most have never heard of microwave sickness, yet they have 24 symptoms in common?  Even if there are some who suspect microwave sickness, would they be courageous enough to say wireless technology or 5G expansion may be making people sick, or would they likely blame it on COVID since doing so would be acceptable and not controversial, and enables them to maintain more control and issue mandates?

From another study, below is a chart  of 18-24 symptoms reported by both long COVID and EHS.  The long COVID data is from a report from the Indiana University School of Medicine, by Dr. Natalie Lambert working with Survivor Corps, written in July 2020, which can be found here   https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e8b5f63562c031c16e36a93/t/5f459ef7798e8b6037fa6c57/1598398215120/2020+Survivor+Corps+COVID-19+%27Long+Hauler%27+Symptoms+Survey+Report+%28revised+July+25.4%29.pdf The EHS data is from Belpomme et al 2020, https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/21/6/1915/htm:

(The long COVID may also be myalgic encephalitis (ME), i.e. chronic fatigue syndrome, but the important question here is what caused these people to get these symptoms last year since most did not test positive on PCR or SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, meaning they likely did not have COVID.  RF is a trigger for ME according to Frontiers | The Neuroinflammatory Etiopathology of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) | Physiology   Whether it’s ME or EHS/microwave sickness, RF is likely involved in these long COVID cases where patients didn’t test positively for COVID antibodies or PCR)

4) Brain MRI’s of COVID-19 patients show similar features found in MRI’s of EHS/microwave sickness

Here’s a review study of brain MRI’s done in COVID-19 patients Neuroimaging and neurologic findings in COVID-19 and other coronavirus infections: A systematic review in 116 patients – PubMed (nih.gov)

(Highlighted study, Kazal, attached).  Going through the tables of MRI findings, the ones that have also appeared in EHS follow (and there are likely more, but I am not expert in reading MRI reports):

o

  • 43% had MRI result finding of T2 hyperintensity (bright-foci) in the white matter,
  • 76% had headaches,
  • 57% had nervousness,
  • 76% had memory problems,
  • 71% had impaired concentration,
  • 67% feeling cognitively slowed,
  • 86% had sleep problems, and
  • 67% had irritability.

These symptoms were shown to be most likely caused by microwave radiation per Golomb 2018 paper  https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/full/10.1162/neco_a_01133?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3dpubmed

  • White matter abnormalities, also found in US diplomats per Golomb 2018 paper

 

Highlighted copies of Kazal, Swanson, Heuser, Belpomme 2018 papers mentioned above are attached.

 

 

5)  COVID-19 is a disease where endothelial tissue, such as blood vessel linings, is being damaged, which leads to blood clots and other symptoms of COVID  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32882706/ .

Interesting thing is that EMFs also damage endothelial tissue, so EMFs may be worsening COVID.
