Correlation =/= Causation. There may be cancer clusters around my balls, that doesn't mean my balls cause cancer.
There's a difference between ionizing radiation (like Chernobyl stuff) that does cause cancer, and electromagnetic radiation (cell phones, TV broadcasters, ham sets, cordless phones, WiFi, etc etc etc) which doesn't. It has to do with energy levels. Like the difference between shooting someone with a rifle bullet, and throwing a marshmallow at them. You need worry about only one of those two scenarios.
Understood. I would point out that losing a child is probably the most horrible thing that can happen to a parent, and they're likely to blame whatever they think they can have some degree of control over rather than just shitty fate. I'm reminded of the people who had problems with "unintended acceleration" with their Audi cars, who ran over their kid and swore up down left and right that they had their feet full on the brakes but the car still accelerated out of their control - despite every automotive engineer saying that scenario was impossible. Audi adds an interlock to the car that makes it impossible to put into gear before you have your foot on the brake and SHAZAM! the problem magically goes away.
Parents aren't scientists or engineers, therefore I take their opinions on the safety of cell towers with a very large bag of salt.
Not in science, it doesn't.
