"I thought this was woo, until I read the article below"

The "article below" does absolutely nothing to suggest there is any health concern.

Saying "I did read it. But, wouldn't it be naive to think [something which the article in no way supports]" doesn't change the fact that the article in no way supports your concern.

Yes, it is naive to think that the American Cancer Society is not likewise perfectly aware that people use all sorts of RF devices on a regular basis, and that this is another one. It would never occur to them that people had more than one such device.

"We have wifi all over the house with speakers and security cameras"

But because you installed a smart meter, then you have to re-arrange the bedroom? Get a piece of artwork, put sheet metal behind it (or get one of those paintings on metal that are popular) and knock yourself out.

But the "I didn't think it was woo until" + (link to long article that a lot of people won't read but which contradicts thesis) thing is kind of neat.
