We at TheTodayNews.com love gadgets and Wi-Fi. Instant internet access from wherever you happen to be standing (or, more likely, sitting) is the best thing since sliced bread!

That’s why we were quite alarmed when we read an article in the Feb 2010 issue of GQ Magazine detailing new studies concerning cell phone and Wi-Fi radiation danger.

We’re not just talking about growing a second head after 50 years of cellular use…the article cites immediate side effects such as heart arrhythmias, headaches and immediately quantifiable health decline.

After reading that, the first thing we did was move the Wi-Fi router as far away from the office desk as possible! Click on this link to read the full article at GQ Magazine.

The major news outlets just LOVE to cover stories about Swine Flu vaccine shortages. The visual images of long lines, the panicked parents interviewed on camera…mass media LOVES a crisis!

But whenever a lack of public interest leaves thousands of leftover H1N1 vaccine doses on the table, that same mass media is nowhere to be found.

The Cleveland, Ohio suburb of Willoughby had an H1N1 vaccination drive yesterday, and out of 9,000 doses of vaccine available, only 2,428 were given out.

And this was even AFTER officials in Willoughby and four surrounding cities used their emergency notification phone system to dial 18,000 households telling them, “Hey! We’ve got all this vaccine sitting around and no lines! Come and get it!”

Why is western Lake County saying “Thanks, but no thanks” to the H1N1 vaccine? Probably for the same reason no TheTodayNews.com staffers have chosen to receive the H1N1 vaccine: people simply do not want to risk the dangers of a vaccine which has no long-term safety track record.
