[LINK] The Terrifying Potential of 5G Technology

[Marghanita da Cruz]

Ofcourse not finding evidence is not proof but this is what Wikipedia on 
Radiation fears:

> In April, 2019, the city of Brussels blocked a 5G trial because of 
> radiation fears.^[49] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G#cite_note-49> 
> Since 2018 there have been groups which have opposed the deployment of

> I'd like to hear of important applications which would benefit from 5G, and I don't count arm-waving fantasies about how your toaster could talk to your coffee maker or pseudo-uses like being able to download an entire movie in 4 seconds.  The article quotes a figure of US$400 Billion for installing 5G in U.S. metro areas.
