I have not heard anything about the 'dangers' with the new 5g until I read a thread on another site where a poster posted about the supposed dangers.



This poster mentioned that this new 5g will cause effects on the body including hemoglobin, oxygen and water. This person claims to be a biochemistry professor. On another site where it was mentioned that it will affect patients with Covid-19 and even vaccinated people.



I also have read about a host of scientist are raising red flags over this. All of the searching for more information just sounds pretty alarming. I have read the previous posts concerning this new 5g on here but would like to hear some more opinions especially since tomorrow ( January 19, 2022) is when they are firing up the 5g and even the airlines are trying to halt it. It sounds like a host of problems could be a bad outcome.


Like someone else mentioned that there is no proof this could affect things good or bad and we have to wait and see, I'm hanging onto my shorts!


Is there any truth to any of this?

A few countries have banned 5G until more is known about potential health hazards.

The airlines sure are concerned for other reasons. This issue could kill people too.

Airlines warn of chaos from imminent Verizon, AT&T 5G rollout

The chief executives of America's largest airlines warned of a "catastrophic disruption" to travel and shipping operations if telecommunication companies roll out their 5G technology as planned Wednesday without limiting the technology near US airports.

America telcos cutting every corner they can to save the last measly dollar? Why, I do declare!

This is the 21st century. Training workers and providing a safe workplace is stealing from the stockholders.

Anyway, to the OP: Look up the inverse square law.

That, OTOH, is a 100% valid concern.

FWIW, the "g" stands for "generation", not "Gig".

This meta-study looked at 107 studies done on 5G and 31 studies done on workers exposed to radar, which uses short wavelengths similar to 5G.

"The review included 107 experimental studies that investigated various bioeffects including genotoxicity, cell proliferation, gene expression, cell signalling, membrane function and other effects. This review showed no confirmed evidence that low-level RF fields above 6 GHz such as those used by the 5 G network are hazardous to human health."

Note that all 138 studies used radio power levels below the occupational hazard safety levels. This is an important distinction. If you are on tower standing right next to the antenna, the radio energy will hurt you. But for the average consumer, exposed to 5G at very low levels, this study couldn't find consistent evidence of any adverse health effects.

Airlines want a 2 mile 5 free zone around airports. If it does interfere with older altimeters those planes will not fly. Shipping delays even worse!

ATT rolls out 5 g tomorrow (Jan 19) Phones showing "5g" are connected to 5g towers but not at the higher speed yet. Until tomorrow.

DD agrees with you in that she experiences kids respond to adults differently than they did 20 years ago. When adults in a classroom or anyplace else spoke, the kids would look at the face of the adult. No more. The kids don't even look up from what they are doing. The kids are accustomed to adults speaking to their phones, not to them.

DH and I used to go out to dinner 3-4 times a week. There was always a table with a parent looking at their phone ignoring the child all during the meal. Sad.

If you get into amateur radio you learn volumes about RF energy and the power involved.
Most of you probably don't have a clue as to the power in your microwave ovens or even how they were developed.
Early radio operators would remove the screens on the radios because they were shaving crystals to match frequencies they were yet discovering. The problem was the candy bar in their shirt melted while they did this. Later the burns they suffered proved the value of the screens and shielding on the radios. In CB radio we learned that one could take a florescent light bulb and hold it up to an antenna and watch it light up during transmission. the stronger the signal the further away one could hold the light from the antenna.
Those were relatively low frequencies in those days compared to the high frequencies we use now.
The military experimented with radiofrequency as a weapon, and it is quite effective in damaging human tissues.
The interesting thing between the human body and RF is just as well have different blood types our bodies respond to RF differently depending on the frequency and or intensity and or duration.
It is concerning that some of the vaccines have nanoparticles, and it is difficult to how they were intended to function as a vaccine but it is concerning that some folk have had a magnetic response at their injection site. and others have had severe blood clotting issues at different points in the bodies.
Nanoparticles are motivated by a magnetic charge to configure in to an engineered shape. there is a discussion about this that was done several years ago and many applications were mentioned but the very last one had to do with medicine.
It should be noted that any flow of an electrical current will cause a magnetic charge. An EMP or CME are examples of a burst of electrical charge significantly stronger than typical radio frequencies.
Some people are foolishly implanting electronics in their bodies for enhancement neglecting the effects of strong electromagnetic sources.

Don't forget the rape that occurred on the train in Philadelphia, last year. Rather than attempt to stop the rapist, the passengers on the train recorded the event. I fully believe these smartphones have "rewired" our brains, so to speak. Just try asking a young person to leave their phone at home for the day. They become anxious, nervous, moody, and angry. Just like someone who is addicted to nicotine that doesn't have access to it. Everyone is just as addicted to them as people used to be to smoking.
