No: This is coming from politicians (including, unfortunately, some misguided souls at the World Health Organization) and fearmongers. Do you think that Mr. Putin, who arguably would be the man most certain to have accurate information about the worst the world has to offer, would use a cell phone if they actually caused cancer?
