Science Do I need to be afraid of 5G?

[GriLtCheeZ]

I really need to know...what is it about 5G that I need to be so afraid of? Sincerely....

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

 

[drexlersdad]

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.

 

[HailBlazers]

No

would you mind living next to a cell phone tower?

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.

This is what the Irish say when they open the pub at 9am...."To your health and all that ails ya?"

In the future the breathalyzer will be used to find out if you have enough alcohol in your blood to be around people! Who'da guessed!

There is a lot of research on the subject. This was studied by the largest professional organization in the world, the IEEE, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers some 30 or 40 years ago and thoroughly debunked. This is the sort of stuff the feeble minded fall for.

It depends on the distance you are from the high voltage lines. The effect is proportional to the inverse of the distance squared.

I wouldn't worry a lot unless the radiation is gamma rays or excessive ultra violet leading to an orange hue on the skin.

UV light is an antiseptic. I used to install UV light corridors in water treatment plants.

They debunked 5g myths 40 years ago? Lol I might need a link for that claim.

Here's what I found more recently about 18 years ago.

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/989978

The older studies I found were published in the IEEE's magazine, Spectrum. I read it back when I was a member of IEEE so long ago that I don't recall the exact date in an issue of Spectrum. You can also get several different monthly abstracts but they were expensive and I didn't waste my money on them. Spectrum is the general IEEE magazine that every member gets included in their membership.

I'm not asking you to take my word for it point blank. I'm asking you to consider my technical background and my ethical standards that prevent me from lying about such technical matters. I'm giving you my word that I recall reading the article which made it very clear that they considered the kind of microwave radiate that we faced from cell phone towers to be negligible at best. I think they presented it as a non existent problem.

The IEEE is the very best at revealing the technical issues of cell phone tower microwave radiation.

When I worked at Tektronix we built a microwave signal generator by the thousands for use in calibrating test and measurement microwave equipment. I was tasked with optimizing the cavity generator of this instrument. i was exposed to that radiation for years with none of the ill effects attributed by the alarmists about microwave radiation.

While in Vietnam, I was ordered by a stupid sergeant to trim the grass around a microwave focal point emitter but that was for very powerful microwave that can fry your gonads or even severely burn your body. I refused the order and nothing came of it. Radar is microwave but you wouldn't get close to that because of the power level.

If you don't want to believe me then we'll just have to drop it there because I can't look up a Spectrum article that old. Maybe someone else can locate a credible article on the subject.

I'll bet you never installed it internally in anyone's body.
