    The only thing I would worry about is the ones from Huawei

    do you like having boners?

    is there something you wish you could have said before you died?

    if so, there a slight chance that your mom might have some sort of cure for this particular virus inside of her vagina.

    The answer is yes? Or maybe. Fight me.

    There really isn’t a lot of research into it's possible effects on health. Kind of like any other big business, cellular companies just roll out new products without much concern for consumer health. Any kind of micro-waves are a form of radiation, it’s just a question of how effective those particular frequencies are at penetrating living cells and what effects those frequencies have.

    would you mind living next to a cell phone tower?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Here's a good primer on the radiation from these towers.

    There's a lot of good information there, so I encourage people to read the whole article, but this was the conclusion:

    "But for now, everything we know about 5G networks tells us that there’s no reason to be alarmed. After all, there are many technologies we use every day with a substantially higher measurable risk. And as Dr. Novella says, 'With 5G the hazard is low—but non-zero—and the actual risk appears to be zero. We’ve picked up no signal in the real world.' "

    Ill read in a bit, but going off your highlight... My question that arises is, have we done cross testing for hazards?
    5G towers combine with cell phones, mixed with "X" has now become a far great worse than any of them independently? This goes with and without the towers. There could be a combination of things currently that cause issues possibly not deciphered yet as to what the combination is?

    I'm not a physicist, but my understanding is that electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies don't "add up" to create something more dangerous. They can each be independently dangerous, in which case you wouldn't want to be exposed to both, but if each independently is non-ionizing, they don't in combination become dangerous.

    That said, the effects of various forms of radiation aren't completely understood, so very few things can be said to be 100% safe and that future study will never turn up any danger.

    Yeah and by the time we have conclusive studies, we will be on 6G or something anyhow.

    High voltage power lines do create health risks though. No correlation with 5g imo.

    There's no issue with 5G, as long as you protect yourself by drinking a disinfectant.
