Industry body assures people in open letter there is no link between 5G and pandemic

At least 20 mobile phone masts across the UK are believed to have been torched or otherwise vandalised since Thursday, according to government and industry sources who are increasingly concerned about the impact of baseless theories linking coronavirus to 5G networks.

Independent, impartial reporting eh?

Do you have any risk analysis reports in the office you can publish?

Millimetre waves? Radiation absorbing oxygen at 60ghz? Masts installed in close proximity? Can you talk more about that please? Listen to our concerns. 5G needs to be switched off now as a precaution.

Concerns over these masts are not baseless. There is widespread concern. Switzerland has stalled some of its installations until more research is carried out due to cantons such as Zurich and Geneva pushing back on it.

Nothing to do with corona, it’s a smokescreen, all to do with vaccine and being microchipped

IwriteOK A few weeks ago, just before a stay-at-home was issued for my area, I was getting a haircut (b-c it was months overdue), and the person cutting my hair was mentioning how she knew that 5G caused cancer, and a possible link between coronavirus and 5G.

IwriteOK Easy. If they believe this, just take any commercial ability to use mobile data. Road use is 'a privilege, not a right'. So these idiots should be able to only use a landline. That way we know where to send the men in white orderly shirts to.

IwriteOK ≖_≖

ZhugeEX We barely have 4G in my country and we still get the corona. You dumbasses are going to cripple your comunication services over nothing, wtf.

How safe is 5G exactly? How would anyone know? All the leading scientists across the world who are speaking out against it are being shut out by you, the media. Where is the objective reporting? Why not let the public hear both sides of the argument on its safety?

IQ level of some “rich” countries does reduce over time

Democracy in action. ✊

'I don't understand how mobile phones work and I don't understand what a virus is, so there must be some connection between them.' These people are quite literally morons.

MarinaHyde That's what you would expect in the Middle Ages.

Looks like UK do not needs internet in the future. Cellphones, computers and other communication tools are suck, right?

typical english

MarinaHyde I miss your articles in The Grauniad. Come back!

One thing we are learning with this pandemic: education focused on critical thinking is a must. Plenty of graduated folks falling for fake news and displaying religious fanaticism.

For those who thing there is danger in 5G but have enough common sense to read up, here is some facts. 1.The signal length is up to 300m 2.The wavelength is weak in way of obstructions, tree or wall in front will strongly decrease signal strength. 1/2

My daughter lives in the Indian Ocean Island of Reunion. Hundreds of cases of coronavirus have been confirmed there, yet the island has no 5G masts. Could something else be spreading the virus, like... people? Crazy idea, I know.

ros_tinkler Is it possible that they are not being vandalised due to environmental concerns? Perhaps some people think allowing Huawei to run 5G is not a brilliant idea just as letting the China Nuclear Group to build and run Hinckley nuclear power station might not be a great idea.

MarinaHyde “We’ve had enough of experts.” Let’s have a referendum to decide if 5g causes coronavirus.

This is why we can’t have nice things

I just suprised. Isn't UK is a first world country? Did ppl educated in the middle school about basic physics and biology? If ppl worried about secruity issue realted to 5G it's reasonable, but radio wave and virus?

And those people once colonised the world?... 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

5G ate my hamster!

I realky wanna see their exam results

How do citizens know the claims are false? In additions to the coronavirus claims, there is also the risk that China will be able to spy on all 5G traffic, so that is also a significant factor.

This is why we shouldn't be allowed nice things!!!

MarinaHyde Science used to be a core subject in Primary Education in alongside English and Maths and was tested as part of SATs. Great decision to downgrade its importance and allow science to be a pre purchased scheme with all the imagination and wonder of a Lib Dem leadership race.

NurseMaria46 The police need to check the other end of the social media chain - who's paying for and managing the data, the bots the pages that are spreading this 5G nonsense - whether ideologically based, geopolitical or financial - this is isn't just chatter among fearful vandals!

MarinaHyde Those Brexiteers need something else to do now.

5g good or bad I’m not sure, I don’t see what’s wrong with 4g. I’ll just stick with that.

The world needs 5g to progress in technology. The people who are moaning about it are all probably using 4g to google it. The reason all this is kicking off over 5g is because it comes from china.

Who says it's false claim The mail😂😂😂there are genuine concerns across the world

Because of Huawei 5G? 👀

💔

This week on 'Pastimes for Stupid people'...

I know Britons have a reputation of being stupid. But this!!!! Rehards, EU

This is annoying. Living in a spot that barely has 3G I was hoping that the UK might enter the 21st C and leave medieval stupidity behind. Wrong again. Break out the megaphone and a box of crayons. DeleteFacebook

This is wrong. In fact, this virus is related to the aircraft carrier. And the Caption Crozier's experience also showed that the virus originated in the nuclear reactor on the aircraft carrier.

Same types who'll torch a paediatrician's house and same people who'll be shrieking and whimpering when there's no signal to get through to 111.

I don't have the knowledge to judge 5g safety. I do know that unconstrained capitalism will step over my cooling corpse to peel the skin from a screaming child, if there's a dollar profit to be made.... So lets hope the regulators are on top of it all.

Lunatics, they go sunbathing in lockdown, have a few shandy’s then do this on way home, no respect and no brains either 😐

MarinaHyde THIS is why the gene pool needs more chlorine. 🤦‍♂️

Same conspiracy theory in my country..they say birds are falling from the sky because of 5G

MarinaHyde Catch them and charge them with terrorism. Trying to disable the communication network during a national emergency.

Hmmm......

Unless the masts are in some way involved in pathogen transmission? Joking////::::::——- agreed, it’s madness! What sort of people, think 5g and masts give you COVID 19/ SARS12? Errrr, let me guess!

MarinaHyde People really are stupid.

A lot of people have commented “how thick people are” but have you researched the harmful impacts of 5G? Go, go, go research!

Superstitious idiots. Next they'll be burning people at stakes 🙄

Humans never cease to amaze

Education education or is it the language?

I hate to say it but it wouldn’t be the end of the world if these people contracted Covid-19, absolute idiots

The lunatics are taking over the asylum 🐰

False...how so

The 'burnt-out paediatrician's car' de nos jours

Have you noticed how the trees die around the 5 g masts though? And why do the engineers have to wear radiation suits when they work on them? We have one near to our home and I’m quite worried about this, any advice out there would be appreciated

sonikans tell us.

At least 20 idiots in this country!

The blind leading the mentally incapable

MarinaHyde The nation is getting thicker

21st century Luddites….

MarinaHyde We badly need to raise public science awareness in the UK. It's embarrassing.

No people are brainwashed by the lying Media and the lying scientists. It has been proven in thousands of peer reviewed studies. Luckily for the masses they do not have brains so they do not have to worry about it. The only people embracing 5G are the thick as pig shit ones.

Forget the conspiracies, there are genuine concerns over 5G

G5 is a weapon. Not false. Like ants

This is ridiculous. Morons won't let us have anything nice.

There are some thick fecker s out there!!!

People really are thick aren't they 🤦‍♂️

No, 5G does not spread coronavirusScientists say any suggestion that coronavirus and 5G are linked is “complete rubbish” and biologically impossible There is no point whatsoever trying to explain to these morons the reasons why this is utter nonsense. They are all simply too thick to even start to comprehend. Grrr...! It will be used to spread a virus, that will impact humans , just not a biological virus... As anyone with half a brain cell already knew.
