The have a linked video showing how smart meter pulses effect the heart!

or maybe.....
how the pulses from a smart meter placed 1m away from the leads going to
someone hooked up to a sensitive EKG machine can also be picked up by
the machine?

Is this the old problem of RF from mobile devices again, but from a smart
meter?
There are ham radio operators all over the world chuckling.
To be honest if you were daft enough to stand in line with a radar scanner
then I'd expect issues, but in this case... really? if it puts out that much
power then think of the cost to the suppliers of all that electricity they
would be using in every house?

I think really people making stuff like pacemakers should have tested this
sort of thing well in advance and yes, many ecg machines, as their inputs
are high impedance will pick up pulses of rf if close enough.

That last seems the much more likely..

I don't believe there is a problem from the RF, but the RF and power
used is a very short and intermitant pulse of energy and energy used.
Remember, the gas meter uses a tiny battery to power the transmission
and that has to last for many years.

Consider if the EKG equipment is picking up the same magnitude of energy
from the heart as from a smart meter there must be a much bigger risk
when in close proximity to someone else. A night in bed with your
partner could be fatal!

I don't know how long pacemakers last but some people must have quite old ones which predate smart meters.

Mobile phones modulate their output power to the lowest level
needed for communication. I believe this is why you should not
use your phone in a plane, because it tries maximum power.

Do smart meters carry out this same process ?.

Pacemakers usually need a new battery within 10 years or less. And
pacemakers are designed to cope with radio waves within intermational
standards from things like mobile phones and home networks. The same
standards smart meters are designed to meet. And smart meters are
tested just like other stuff by the HPA. So can we move on to - say -
the disgusting failure to address the health risk from the noise
generated by mechanical meters?

Smart meters will use off-the-shelf transceiver modules (zigbee,
wireless-mbus, sigfox, etc) which will use ISM frequencies at permitted
power levels, if your stairlift can't cope with sharing the bandwidth
with other devices, it's the stairlift's fault ...

Yes, exactly the same as a mobile phone would, but then not many people
sit with a meter next to their brain all day and RF's effect follows
the inverse square law.

Those most vocal at complaining about mobile masts, are often the ones
who make a lot of use of their mobiles. RF output from a phone is not
much less than that from a mast, but they are quite happy to put the
mobile next to their brain. The more masts there are, the less power
the phone needs to use to communicate with it, the lower the risk - yet
they complain about the health risks of living near a mast.

11 years in the UK

10 years ago the USA had 2 million smart meters installed and currently
has 70+ million.

I understand the smart meters in the USA work differently, i.e. they
have street/neighbourhood level mesh networking to allow them to be read
without using mobile phone networks ...

Agreed. FFS I can't see them producing the sort of electromagnetic
fields that you get from an arc welder.
