5G towers give off radiation, radiation causes cancer, therefore 5G causes cancer. The towers went up around the same time as the COVID outbreak, which is also probably suspicious. There were petitions. People burned the towers down in the UK in 2020. Health forums full of warnings. Independent doctors on YouTube with concerned faces. The health authorities said 'safe' but they would, wouldn't they.
5G operates at frequencies between roughly 600 MHz and 39 GHz, all of which are non-ionising radio waves. Non-ionising means the photons don't carry enough energy to knock an electron off an atom, which is the minimum requirement for breaking chemical bonds, including the bonds in DNA, which is what 'causing cancer at the molecular level' actually means. The photon energy of 5G is about a million times below the ionising threshold. To put it concretely: visible light from a desk lamp has more photon energy than 5G does. Sunlight is genuinely ionising at the UV end and does increase skin cancer risk. 5G does not. The World Health Organisation, the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection, the FCC, and Australia's ARPANSA have all reviewed the data and reached the same conclusion. The COVID overlap was a coincidence, the towers couldn't transmit a virus regardless of frequency, and the rollout actually predated the pandemic by about three years. The fear is real. The physics isn't.
