Notes:
5G involves much shorter wavelength EMW than 4G. These waves have less penetrating power and cannot travel as far, so there will be far more “towers” all over the place.
5G will be a massive increase to potential bandwidth
There’s thought that 5G can harm the migration of birds since they use the EMS from the Earth to navigate. A study in germany found that EMW can disrupt bird’s internal systems, but the waves are much longer wavelength, from AM radio, not from any cell phone. This study is usually cited by anti 5G folks but they’re not reading it correctly.
5G waves cannot penetrate human skin and thus don’t pose cancer risks to humans.
A study found that people “sensitive” to EMW found that people couldn’t tell when they were being targeted by EMW or not. The symptoms are real but they’re in people’s minds. In fact there are machines that are sold on the market that claim that millimeter EMW can cure all kinds of ailments (also false). Multiple studies have reached a similar conclusion.
Editorial: I’ve also read articles claiming that Russian accounts are deliberately spreading misinformation about 5G to try to cause a political outcry about its supposed dangers and put the US behind Russia and China in the race to develop and roll out 5G
