TLDR: 5G conspiracy theories and scare stories are total BS.
The 5G idiocy is a prime example of how the early internet visionaries understood the technical potential for the whole world to be constantly connected, but being the nerds they were, they completely failed to grasp just how stupid people can be, how many people get a thrill out of being scared, the power of baseless conspiracy stories, and how people in a group always tend to sink to the lowest common denominator.
People who spread horror stories about 5G are either simply attention- and click-whores, or they know nothing about mobile phone technology and probably next to nothing about physics and biology in general. The cretins who suggest there's some connection between 5G and Covid can only be wilfully ignorant fools, since even a couple of minutes of research would make it clear that the virus has rampaged through countries which have no 5G coverage at all.
5G uses frequencies in the same range as earlier mobile phone technology. The amount of energy a person receives from the transmissions of mobile phone masts is so trivial (assuming they're not literally standing right in front of the antenna) that it simply cannot have any effect on our bodies. So the biggest theoretical health danger posed by mobile phones is from the phones themselves while they're in use.
Early mobile phones usually transmitted with a maximum power of 1 Watt (by way of comparison, a typical old-fashioned incandescent flashlight bulb uses 3 Watts). So much time has now passed since mobile phones became common that, if they did pose a danger to health by causing brain tumours or whatever, there should be clear signs of an increase in the incidence of diseases that could have some correlation with people holding low-powered microwave-transmitting devices to the side of their head. There is no evidence whatsoever that this is the case.
5G phones transmit at a maximum power of 0.2 Watts, and less than that if there's a good connection to a tower. So the energy received by a user from a 5G phone is much, much less than was the case for early mobile phones. Also, many people don't hold their phones against the side of their heads these days, and there's this thing in physics called the inverse square law which means that drastically reduces the intensity of the radiation absorbed by the user's body to an even lower level.
Would it bother you if they put one of those giant cellphone towers in your backyard though? Im not a big believer in the 5g theories but I wouldnt wanna live near one of those things
is 5g bad?
