Part 3 of my 49ers/EMF series — and I believe the most important one.

This lays out the biological mechanisms at the crux of their statistically improbable injury rate: how chronic exposure to environmental stressors is remodeling their connective tissue.

Thread 🧵

peteranthonycowan.substack.com/p/how-invisibl… Tendons are loaded with mast cells—immune sentinels packed with chemical weapons. Research from Karolinska Institute shows low-level magnetic fields trick these cells into thinking there's danger.

They pop open and dump histamine, cytokines, and proteases that chew up collagen and replace it with weak, scar-like tissue.

Low-frequency electromagnetic fields can degrade collagen, weaken tendons, and cause soft-tissue damage at levels regulators call "safe."

We have a real world case study proving this:

An NFL team whose practice facility sits next to a massive electrical substation.

THREAD 🧵

peteranthonycowan.substack.com/p/could-chroni… The San Francisco 49ers are statistically the most injured team in the NFL over the past decade.

Since moving to Levi's Stadium in 2014:

Top-5 in Adjusted Games Lost for 10 of 11 seasons

7-8 full Achilles/patellar ruptures (league avg: 2-3/year TOTAL)

40+ major hamstring/calf tears

High-ankle syndesmosis injuries every single year

No other franchise comes close.
