Please find attached a
second edition of my very short paper "Symptoms after Exposure to Smart Meter
Radiation", dated March 12, 2015. You may substitute this second edition for the
original edition, dated March 6, 2015. Both versions are "correct" and "self
consistent", so you need have no concern about any use that you may have made of
the original edition. But the attached second edition is a bit more
detailed.
Issuing a second edition became of interest to me when I
discovered that the "Other" category of the USA survey contained responses to
four clusters of symptoms that had been explicit choices on the survey
questionnaire. Those responses had been rolled into the "Other" cluster in the
final report of the survey findings because they were smaller (2 to 5 percent
each) than the responses to all other symptom clusters (7 to 49 percent each).
After reviewing those four symptom clusters, I felt that identifying them
explicitly would add value.
Accordingly, I have extracted those four symptom clusters
from the "Other" cluster and have reported on them explicitly in the bar graph
for the USA survey in the attached second edition. This change was made with
data from, and oversight by, the author of the final report on the USA survey,
to make sure that the change was made correctly. This change required adjusting
the responses to the "Other" cluster downward, from 31 percent to 18 percent, a
decrease of 13 percent. Some fine tuning was done to the introduction. There are
no changes related to the Australian survey.
Regards,
Ron
