Coronavirus, the plague of 2020, that has forced everyone into a mandatory house arrest globally, is apparently, according to some conspiracy theorists, caused by 5G?!
Based on this erroneous and ignorant ‘theory’ 5G towers in England are being burned down. Even mobile network masts that don’t provide 5G are being attacked, which is ridiculous because in these times where everyone has to stay home in order to stop the spread of coronavirus, mobile network masts are needed more than ever for efficient communication, emergency response, and even to curb quarantine boredom.
It makes no sense to be burning down masts!
These rumors and conspiracy theories over a link between 5G and the spread of coronavirus have been spread primarily through social media networks. On Facebook and Nextdoor, a variety of groups have sprung up where thousands of members repeat false and misleading claims that 5G is ‘supposedly’ harmful and is ‘going to kill everyone’.
One theory claims that coronavirus originated in Wuhan because the Chinese city had recently been rolling out 5G and that now it has spread to other cities that are also using 5G.
These false conspiracy theories forget to mention that of course it only makes sense that a highly contagious virus would naturally spread more in densely populated cities, and that the coronavirus pandemic has even hit counties like Iran and Japan, Nigeria, Ghana, and Benin Republic where 5G isn’t even in use yet!
There is no scientific evidence that links the coronavirus pandemic to 5G, nor any immediate negative health effects.
5G uses a higher frequency of radio waves than 4G or 3G, but regulators in the UK have recorded that 5G electromagnetic radiation levels are well below international guidelines.
If you ask me, this conspiracy has been cooked up by bored individuals tired of staying home and wanting to have their 5 minutes of fame on social media.
But that’s just me, what do you think?
