Conspiracy theories claiming 5G technology helps transmit coronavirus have been condemned by the scientific community.in Birmingham and Merseyside - along with the claims.
But scientists say the idea of a connection between Covid-19 and 5G is"complete rubbish" and biologically impossible. These theories appear to have first emerged via Facebook posts in late January, around the same time the first cases were recorded in the US.One claims 5G can suppress the immune system, thus making people more susceptible to catching the virus.Both these notions are"complete rubbish," says Dr Simon Clarke, associate professor in cellular microbiology at the University of Reading.
It would also be impossible for 5G to transmit the virus, Adam Finn, professor of paediatrics at the University of Bristol, adds.
It's the idiots that do what they want that spreads it. Stay safe stay home
The fact scientists have to state this at all. Here in UK, our TV has been retuned many times and for what reason? To provide new mobile services. If 5G does indeed make our heads explode, then by that reasoning every time our Tv was on, our heads have been exploding all over UK.
5g, iz causing coronavirus in our bodies!
You don’t have to be a scientist to know it’s complete rubbish
nickreeves9876 Wouldn’t it be amazing if some of your journalists did some actual journalism and looked at Facebook and Twitter to see who was originating the 5G rumours. Though it might just highlight it’s the same accounts pushing Trump and Brexit.
5G Show us the results of the trials if you expect us to believe this, I see none published. She us pre-clinical and clinical; phases 1 through 4
Remember when governments said that asbestos was safe? What about smoking cigarettes? They used to be recommended by doctors! There are too many instances where we are told to not worry... before being told something incredibly worrying.
Still go to a Chinese company after what they gave planet earth
these are the same scientists that created this monster, stay woke
What do scientists know that all these people offering advice wearing pj's and sat watching friends reruns don't?
better of boycotting and putting our trust in our medical research teams-independent advice the best.
Cant believe how many ignorant people there are but the worst thing is they then write this rubbish and actually believe it!
Ok, sadly what IS a fact is that there are a lot of stupid people who are, well, just stupid.
I’d saddens me that there’s so many very stupid people in the country
“Methinks the doth protest too much” You put enough tweets out yesterday to quash the 5G Covid19 link! Keep going on about it will only make people question it more! ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmm
There are limits to what’s is healthy not just for us but wild life and 5G exceeds those limits but hey as long as the CEOs of the big companies make more money why should we care about our health
What dumbarses!
Why are so many people this stupid
Are we really becoming this dumb?
How does this even get on the news?
How thick must you be to believe that 5G can cause a virus?
They are not scientists then. The WHO in 2011 called the mm waves used by 5G carcinogenic. After it's over those 'scientists' are gonna be responsible. Or it's never over.
I'd rather look at countries with 5G and countries without then look at countries with coronavirus and countries without. Then turn 5G off for a month to see if anything changes. Instead we are seeing more 5G masts put up at speed while we are under house arrest.
We shouldn't need scientists to tell us this. We do live in a time of exceptional stupidity though...
Can you write an article about how electricity doesn't make you pregnant? I'm really worried and I don't understand anything.
Bizarre more like!!
This conspiracy theories shows how dump and uninformed we are, just a click to Google will guard us. 5G 4G 3G simple question: who will use it when they whole world dies? Just think about that...
They have remote controlled gas canisters in them and spray small droplets of the virus in to the air , I am ok I have my tinfoil hat on tight maybe a bit too tight.
No kidding
Jesus same as flat earth and anti vax, scientists wasting time arguing against morons. Civilisation has better things to do but these idiots keep getting press
Oh. For. F***'s Sake. How. STUPID.
And you believe the scientists That's unusual

You can’t even make jokes about this, some people are so gullible!
Energy is energy.
Believe me I've heard even worse conspiracies about the virus..
What, you don’t believe Mother Russia? You did when we tweeted UK needs to get out EU to boost NHS savings.
I suppose to meet deadlines and maximize profits having the last phone manufactured before an assembly plant closure could have seen as was also noted it’s a disease for rich people as was broadcast possibly out from an Italian? news broadcast?
Sir Piers Morgan brands scientists “idiots”! Sir Piers wants to know when deaths from 5G will overtake deaths from Covid-19.
This 5G nonsense is meant to dissuade additional subscribers to the network? Or sales of enabled devices? It’s a lame attempt if this is the best ploy imaginable.
Of course not! But China does! Boycott Chinese stuff and their 5G shit!
Is it bad for the bees?
lewis_goodall Most critics of 5G are worried about potential health risks and the increased surveillance that it brings. Why has it been installed in droves during the lockdown? Journalists should be questioning this and not accepting government speil unquestioningly....
+ 9 9 . 9 3% of SCIENTISTS WITH children from AGE o n e to A G E 1 2 WELCOME 5 G M A S T S FIXED to T H E I R BEDROOM WINDOWS
how do they explain it being in countries without 5g?
lewis_goodall I’m still keen to try 5G either way. 4G gave did nothing for my gout. And 3G gave me the worst athletes foot I’ve ever had.
Well BBC, if YOU tell us it's OK then we can all relax...
Why does this even have to be confirmed ? Even a potato would know 🙄🤷♂️
What retard thought something digital can infect others, lol it's like the dawn of computers where people thought the common computer virus could infect human beings, what nonsense.
lewis_goodall Thanks for that bbcnews but also can you tell us if you cross your eyes will they stay like that if the wind blows ?
Is this even a thing?
大英帝国进入晚清愚昧时代
5G shot Kennedy
ChrisswfcMac can lay it to rest now pal
I once trusted them. 'WHO' i trusted, that is a mystery. Now i am skeptical of all the things I haven't before...
What 5G?
Bloody fruit loops
lewis_goodall I can’t believe scientists are even having to waste their time dismissing this nonsense.
5G spreads radiation even worst!
Tinfoil hat nutballs incoming
Yeah, everybody knows that heavy amounts of radiation is perfectly healthy.
scientists created it. 5g bad for human.
lewis_goodall Climate change deniers Flat earthers Brexiteers Trumpists Now we can add 5Gers
😂
