But that's exactly point - there are no _known_ mechanisms. Just like radium in 1910 we didn't know what the mechanism was at that point, if any.

Have we studied the effects of 5G on a large sample of people over a 5 year or 10 year period ? No because 5G hasn't been available that long.

So ultimately we don't know but we're going to do it anyway. Which is OK if we are aware that that's the choice we're making

If there's no hypotheses on how long-term effects can occur, then experimental work becomes p-hacking (read meaningless).
