The constant deluge of media articles supportive of 5G network technology has been making me nervous for the past year (as if national and world politics wasn't bad enough) due to the fact that certain large companies stand to make trillions of $currency by rolling out potentially dangerous technology for human health.
We Have No Reason to Believe 5G Is Safe
The technology is coming, but contrary to what some people say , there could be health risks

🇳🇱
@ScottMortimer Except that 5G is safe..
@freemo
Prove it Doc! :-)
@ScottMortimer Its been done countless times by countless scientists far more knowledgeable than either ofus on the topic.
Though to be fair it only takes some basics to understand why its safe and the body of evidence in general.
@freemo
Fantastic. I'd love to read your peer reviewed conclusions on the health effects of 5G networks for human health.
@freemo
Granted, I am only a technologist interested in the field of study, but I have some serious doubts about the methods and interests behind the push for 5G.
@ScottMortimer The frequencies and power range for 5G were studied for a very long time before anyone even considered using them for cell phones.
They have been studied as well as in general use for other protocols for a very long time.
@freemo
If I actually believed that all of peer reviewed research backed your assessment, I would be convinced. I guess we will see how it all works out over time.
@ScottMortimer Really, name the peer-reviewed research you know of which has showed it is harmful. I really dont know even a single paper capable of passing peer review that has showed it is harmful, but a quick search shows countless PR publications that show it is harmful.
Thats the problem with the truth, it doesnt really care what you believe.
@freemo
Well my gf made some measurments beside 5G tower at place where she works (she is electrical engineer) and she wouldn't tell me how much exactly its bad (business etics) but its harmful to be near 150m of 5G tower, her office is 30m from that tower
@ScottMortimer
@freemo
True for claim of gf, she is signal and systems part of EE, don't know how do you call in US that specific field.
@ScottMortimer
@nikolal
What was your gf's source of that claim that being withing 150 meters of **any** cell phone tower is bad for your health.
What sort of EE is she, does she even do RF engineering (I do btw)?
Regardless a GF who knows a bit of EE is a weak argument to convince me compared to the actual scientific consensus.
