Is 5G Technology Really A Health Risk?

[snoop4truth]

I was unable to find a discussion here relating to 5G technology. So, I thought I'd start one.

There are those who claim 5G technology emits extremely high levels of radiation and that it causes reduced fertility and cancer, etc.

(If really pressed for time, begin the video below at 15:30.).

Conspiracy theory?

Genuine risk to health?

What are your thought?

 

[Andy_Ross]

It's bollocks.

 

[theprestige]

Betteridge says "no".

 

[curious cat]

It's bollocks.

I tend to agree, especially along the lines it is in principle not worse than 4 G. I do think some research on this issue should continue as grey areas around this technology do exist. I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1hkv2Upww quite informative.

From Wiki: Verizon opened service on a very limited number of base stations in the US cities of Chicago and Minneapolis using 400 MHz of 28 GHz millimeter wave spectrum. Download speeds in Chicago were from 80 to 900 Mbps. Upload speeds were from 12 to 57 Mbit/s. Ping was 25 milliseconds.[5]

Where as 4-g uses only 100 mhz. So 5-g is 4 times as fast.

Is 28 Ghz in the ionization area? No, I didn't think so.

 

[JeanTate]

Rather OT, but I feel a better question might be just how much 5G is hype (including the rollout schedule)?

Secure IoT backbone? Please!

Coverage as good as 4G? In your dreams!

Etc.

EM radiation becomes light before it becomes ionizing. Simple.

 

[Trebuchet]

Apparently the Russians are pushing this conspiracy theory. Don't know why.

Seems pretty obvious why.

A YouTube video with the title "5G APOCALYPSE EXTINCTION EVENT" is automatically dubious just for being in all caps. A bit of craziness with "extinction event" and the description ("A full length documentary by Sacha Stone exposing the 5G existential threat to humanity in a way we never imagined possible!") suggests technology paranoia.

Maybe Sacha Stone of New Earth is a scientist or other expert on ionizing radiation? No - a former rock musician and artist with non-science articles on that web site, including "An excerpt of Sacha Stone discoursing on the Vatican complex as the genesis of war, disease and poverty in our times".

Is 5G dangerous? We asked an expert: "According to expert agencies and the studies we have so far, there’s nothing to suggest 5G mmWave is a significant health risk, but it’s clear there is more research to be done on the subject. . If you’re the type to be cautious, it’s always possible to reduce RF radiation exposure." .
5G networks: Are they dangerous to our health?: Covers most of the same facts. There is evidence that any Wi-Fi has effects but no credible evidence that 2G, 3G and 4G technologies have effects on humans. Expose rats and mice to levels much higher than humans are exposed to and there is damage.

FDA: Current Research Results: "The results of most studies conducted to date indicate that there is not. In addition, attempts to replicate and confirm the few studies that did show a connection have failed."

This. To exist at all life needs to be able to cope with significant amounts of EM radiation up to the frequency of visible light. There is no reason to think anything below ~1 000 000 GHz isn't safe.

Shockingly, Mr. Stone's entire philosophy is based on a logical fallacy - the appeal to nature.

This investigation has taught me that what we need to understand in order to break through the veil, is the distinction between the living and the fictitious. Living men and women of the living soil is the term I frequently use in order to underscore that distinction. The only thing that is real in this world (in the truest sense) is relationship. Relationships between living souls and living souls and the relationship between living souls and a living planet. People and planet. Gaia. Everything else is fictitious.

Which is where the NewEarth Project comes in. Calling for a return to rural communities, coupled to organic living, lives in bio-resonance with natures codes and self-sustaining resource-based economies and the singular absence of usury.

 

[JoeMorgue]

Well no because 5G isn't like an actual thing that exists. It's a marketing term that doesn't really apply to any specific technology.

 

[Armitage72]

There's a Snopes article from last week about an image being circulated of a worker wearing a Tyvek suit while working on a cell tower, calling it "a hazmat radiation suit".

While I acknowledge I may be reading too much into it, the highlighted seems like code for "no Jews."


As for the topic at hand, my first question to cell phone radiation panickers is always this: Why haven't you been protesting radio and TV? Our cells have been saturated with Jerry Mathers and Lucille Ball for a very long time.

Qhat>!!* How many G's can a human being withstand before blacking out?!!





*And yes, I meant to do that! OK, it originally started out as a typo but I thought it still "worked". YMMV.

This is 5G, JoeMorgue.

5G is generally seen as the fifth generation cellular network technology that provides broadband access.

It is a very specific, quite different technology. Not very different because it still uses microwaves. Quite different in the technology needed to process the different area of the spectrum.

From your link.

...Five companies sell 5G radio hardware and 5G systems for carriers: Huawei, ZTE, Nokia, Samsung, and Ericsson

Not any more. Bwahahahahahahahahaha ..... ***cough***

 

[casebro]

.... Jerry Mathers and Lucille Ball.....

That's a mental image that is going to be hard to erase....

 

[Reality Check]

Not any more.

Possibly not and only in the USA. Donald Trump issued an executive order on 15 May that allows blocking of information or communications technology transactions that his government considers a security risk. People suspect this is a part of Trump's trade war with China. Huawei is a Chinese company so they could apply it. But if Trump gets into a beef with Sweden then Ericsson is in trouble .
