That ridiculous Panorama program on the “dangers” of wi-fi has had a very thorough spanking this week in the blogosphere.
The best is probably Ben Goldacre with his Bad Science blog and column (which has links to other debunkings) and his Bad Science forum. Even the Beeb’s own News24 gave the producer a hard grilling.
But I fear that very little of that will percolate through to the Daly Wail-reading masses who lapped this up. After all, this nice-looking scientist chappie on the show said that wi-fi is radiation. And radiation is terribly terribly dangerous! And they had this woman on who could feel the wi-fi waves zapping her brain and she could could tell if a phone mast was radiating at her six times out of ten!
oh noes!1!!!! hide from the wi-fi monster!11!!!!
