I mean, I'm literally sitting about 0.5m away from my WiFi router which supposedly can transmit at like 1.9Gbps, and that has never been any discussion. Like the author said - these waves are just so weak they aren't doing anything to your body, not now, not in a 100 years. It's not exactly rocket science.

Edit: I do agree that I literally don't see any point at all. 4G is fast enough for absolutely everything even including 4K streaming, and doesn't require a tower built on top of my house

Did you have any say in whether you installed a Wifi router in your home?

People say lots of things, but sometimes the things people say are not true. This, combined with various other variables, seems to leave many people with suspicious feelings about some societal initiatives, not just 5G.
