> 5G has proven to cause a increase in tumor rates in male rats during testing.

Claims like that would really benefit from a link to the specific study you're talking about.

I think this is the study on rats sanguy is referring to:

The American Cancer Society called it a "paradigm shift" in our understanding of the effects of non-ionizing radiation, FWIW.

The results are rushed partial results, yes with peer review, but probably spurious, as noted by at least one of the reviewers. The reviewers didn't have benefit of well organized data either, muddying their process.

In fact, if you look at the various studied rat groups, and take the reported results at face value, you would note that the male rats exposed to the most cell phone radiation had the longest lifespan, greater than the controls (which had curiously low survival rates compared to the norm in lab rats too, btw, further muddying the findings).

Not a junky study exactly, but the analysis of the data is problematic.

then can we at least wait until further research is done?

Yes, that's the link. Sorry I didn't link it in my original post.

It does paint a pretty direct link, even if the results have been rushed.
