Pretty sure they did the same for 4G.

It's probably the same people who shared the post thinking that Homeland Security can deploy the National Guard.

5G is a cover to install Tesla Coils, Command and Conquer style.

If you have to say it daily, what does that say about you or your wife?

My cousins dumbass wife keeps sharing this stuff. Apparently, according to her, the Rona was cause by 5 G radiation. Or, we are all “being suppressed so that the can sneak in all the 5 G networks.
She also think any disease, that would normally be cured or eradicated with a vaccine, can be cured with vegetables and vitamin C.

I have no problem with advancement of technology. And I don't buy into all of the assumed problems it's going to cause. But, if it does cause an uptick in illnesses, there needs to be accountability.

The problem is when you levy accountability to the responsible party. Say you get cancer. There is absolutely no definitive way to determine it was 5G caused the cancer. But that wouldn't stop a mountain of litigation tigers from trying to claw at the profits aimed at the 5G companies.

I doubt they will need more towers (but they may).
In the 90’s when analog was king, a signal traveled appx 8 miles from a tower. In the late 90’s to early 00’s, carriers started switching to digital which meant more “stuff” besides just voice could be transmitted (text, data, etc.). The signal was weaker which meant appx 4 miles between towers.

If 5g has a shorter signal strength than 2g-4g, then you might see more towers go up. But typically the techs just drop the antennas off the tower and swap out new antennas. Then they switch out radios in the cabinet at the base. This has typically occurred on 3g-4g.

The tower itself will have multiple carriers on it. It’s not uncommon too ATT and VZ on the same tower.

Also, those companies might be getting squeezed on their leases by some commercial tower companies, so you might see a new tower go up adjacent to an old tower. That doesn’t really mean anything other than dollar bills.

But take comfort that the FCC licenses all carriers, and they require strict studies of Radio Frequency (RF) Electromagnetic Radiation and the effects on people. Yes, if you clipped in and climbed a tower while it’s blasting full signal you might catch some radiation sickness or cancer later. But standing at the bottom of the tower, is slim to none, or so they say.

You know when you have bad signal and the phone literally heats up? That’s when your phone is turning up it’s power to keep a signal. When it powers up, they common consumer’s exposure to RF rads is greater than underneath a tower.

I've been seeing crazy 5G conspiracies from a few people I know for at least 8 months now.

Yes. In the last three days I've seen a few posts about it.

5G uses non-ionizing radiation. It doesn't cause cancer. It's radiowaves at a higher frequency than 4g, and the energy from its waves are absorbed in the skin.

Are you sure it doesnt cause all those things? I'm not saying it does but you would look pretty foolish if your whole family got sick the minute you got 5g


The government would not allow anything that would harm us.

Have a Masonic brother that started spouting this bs last night on Facebook. It was disappointing, because he's a smart guy, but he really took a step back in my book.
