Jill Stein Worries Wi-Fi Is Dangerous For Kids

In a recently discovered video Jill Stein argues that the brains of children should not be exposed to “dangerous” Wi-Fi signals, and that computers in school classrooms are really a “corporate ruse” to make more money.

Earlier this spring Stein gave a keynote address at a conference on public education titled: “United Opt Out National: Transcending Resistance, Igniting Revolution.” After her address the presumptive Green Party presidential nominee was asked about the supposed dangers of “Wi-Fi radiation.”

Stein replied:

We should not be subjecting kid’s brains especially to that.. and we don’t follow this issue in our country, but in Europe where they do, you know, they have good precautions about wireless. Maybe not good enough, you know. It’s very hard to study this stuff. You know, we make guinea pigs out of whole populations and then we discover how many die. And this is the paradigm for how public health works in this country.

Stein is wrong. There is no danger associated with Wi-Fi, and nobody is making “guinea pigs out of whole populations and then we discover how many die.” This is nothing but a most egregious form of anti-science, anti-intellectual, fear-mongering.

3. Should ask her about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

About 5000 people in the US die every year as direct result of coming in contact with the deadly chemical, but the FDA - from the government - allows it to be put in literally everything we eat!

10. See, I think she's an asshole opportunist

The way she words things panders to the CT addicted, and she can turn around and say "but that's not what I meant" --she did this with vaccines, in the most egregious way. I didn't pay too much attention to her before that, now this woman who claims to revere human beings and the human condition will cause actual deaths with her political word semantics game playing--too many people are acting on too little, or very poor and misleading information when it comes to healthcare.

She is the healthcare/provider equivalent of Trump. I dispise her.

11. If kids weren't up on wi-fi, who would have taught me to use a smart phone?

Seriously, the joy of watching a child's face as they discover the wide world that can be found on the internet is amazing.

14. And this proud Know-Nothing has defenders trying to use DU to promote and protect her.

No cure for stupid.
