- The initiative was directed by President Trump's Make America Healthy Again Commission in its strategy report.
- Some FDA and CDC webpages still state there is no credible evidence that cellphone radiation causes health problems, and the National Cancer Institute says current evidence suggests cellphone use does not cause brain or other cancers in humans.
