But what's his conspiracy?

If he's saying that 5G is giving us covid then he's an idiot.

If he's saying that 5G is intended to provide better connectivity for smart appliances to report our activity to advertisers then he has a point.

He is of the "5G is causing cancer and being used to cull the population" variety. He is unsure of his position on the COVID aspect of it, but "both come from China so you have to wonder."

Could you share that information, if you don’t mind. I was trying to figure out if the radiation is safe but I couldn’t find anything on the effects of the high frequency signals.

In any case I understand that the danger comes from ionizing radiation which basically messes with your dna. 5G (and wifi) is non-ionizing so it doesn’t do anything to your dna. And it doesn’t have enough energy to heat you up and cause damage this way.

Fun facts: It is not “radiation” and also not high frequency.

From Wikipedia: “In the U.S., Verizon is using 28 GHz and AT&T is using 39 GHz. 5G can use frequencies of up to 300 GHz”[1]. That is high frequency relative to the frequencies of 4G, and WiFI or Bluetooth which are around 2-4 GHz.[2]

Not sure what definition of radiation you’re using, but yes, electromagnetic waves are radiation.

Can you explain what you think "radiation" means? This is radio -- electromagnetic waves. It doesn't have a scary source like a nuclear weapon, but the energy does indeed radiate from the antenna.
