(The Last American Vagabond) Last month, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirmed the agency is undertaking a study on the impact of electromagnetic radiation emitted by modern cell phones. This is part of President Trump’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda. However, the influence of Big Wireless corporations and friendly regulators—such as Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr—threatens to undermine efforts to revisit the science around mobile devices.

On January 15, 2026, an HHS spokesman told The Wall Street Journal that the agency was launching a study on cellphone radiation. HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon also confirmed that several webpages previously concluding cell phone radiation did not cause harm had been removed, including one from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“The FDA removed webpages with old conclusions about cell phone radiation while HHS undertakes a study on electromagnetic radiation and health research to identify gaps in knowledge, including on new technologies, to ensure safety and efficacy,” said Nixon. “The study was directed by President Trump’s MAHA Commission in its strategy report.”
While the FDA removed some webpages, other pages on the FDA and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention websites continue to claim there is no credible evidence cellphone radiation causes cancer in humans.
Studies Have Reached Conflicting Conclusions
In early November 2018, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) released data that concluded there was clear evidence that radiofrequency radiation (RFR) can cause brain and heart tumors in male lab rats. The $30 million study, which took more than ten years to complete, examined the effects of prolonged exposure to high levels of RFR—specifically the type of radiation emitted via 2G and 3G cellular networks.
The researchers wrote:
“There was also some evidence of tumors in the brain and adrenal gland of exposed male rats. For female rats, and male and female mice, the evidence was equivocal as to whether cancers observed were associated with exposure to RFR.”
The NTP cautioned that the results should not be applied to humans. The FDA and other government agencies declined to support the conclusions. John Bucher, PhD, a senior scientist with the NTP, said, “The exposures used in the studies cannot be compared directly to the exposure that humans experience when using a cell phone. In our studies, rats and mice received radio frequency radiation across their whole bodies.”
