Have you ever heard of this thing called sun? It sends down radiation many times stronger and at a frequency that actually damages human cells.

Sure, but that’s natural skin cancer. Much better for you than the synthetic kind.

Radio waves have been around for a very long time, but I have yet to hear of a study that links them to cancer.

We've never been blasted RF by thousands of satellites in human history. We don't have enough data for now but this is just the beginning. When Starlink competitors start sending more satellites we might have a real problem. Just a few years ago, smoking next to a pregnant woman was acceptable as doctors didn't link cigarettes with cancer.

The amount of RF energy absorbed by your body from satellites 400km away is really negligible compared to that phone in your pocket. If you worry about RF exposure, worry about the transmitter that everyone carries with them all the time now.

Even the neighbours WiFi will deliver you much more RF energy in your house than Starlink sats do.
