On the passing of John Weigel
The 5th of May 2025 saw the passing of yet another great Trojan in the campaign for safe technology – John Weigel – who died after a short illness.
John was a writer and researcher. He spent many years campaigning and sharing information and knowledge from around the world spelling out the clear scientific evidence of adverse health effects from radiofrequency microwave and EMF radiation from our technological infrastructure and smart devices, as well as the dangers of the potential corporate and political misuse of the technology.
He set up the Alliance for Irish Radiation Protection and gave talks around the country about the adverse health effects from masts, wifi, mobile phones, etc
In addition to health risks, he warned of the real threat to our privacy, security and democracy should we ‘take our eye off the ball’.
John was described by those who met him as a highly intelligent man who was warm, kind, committed, easy to approach and talk to, and challenging.
A sufferer himself, John’s support and encouragement to many others with Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome will be especially missed, along with his sense of fun.
