It’s a difficult issue, as the people carrying the water on it tend to overlap with ignorant constituencies like anti-vaxers.

I know there was concern in the 90s about military exposure to millimeter wave radars, and I’ve never read anything credible about the outcome of whatever studies were done, good or bad. I know that the 24 GHz bands are part of 5G and also related to vehicle networks, so I assume that all major roads will be blanketed with coverage.

My biggest concern with 5G is the FCC declaring every telephone pole “critical infrastructure” and removing or limiting the ability of local governments set rules. In my city, the incompetent response on the city’s part means that Verizon is dropping poles in the optimal (from a cost/radio pov) spot, period. So people have wooden telephone poles in the middle of their lawn. A block from my house, they dropped a pole in the middle of the curb cut for crossing the street, 5 feet from another utility pole. (To avoid renting pole space)

I think 5G unsafe, because in 5G download data 20 times faster and some genuines is argue on them. Some Engineers are said that is safe some others unsafe. In Switzerland, objections are raised against every new antenna. They said it is unsafe for humans or birds also.

Isn’t that just a narrative pushed by RT as Russian propaganda?

No, that's just what people who believe in conspiracies (like "everything is Russian propaganda") believe. Except if you consider the "US department of health" as Russian agents: "The NTP studies found that high exposure to RFR used by cell phones was associated with: Clear evidence of tumors in the hearts of male rats. The tumors were malignant schwannomas. Some evidence of tumors in the brains of male rats. The tum…

Thank you. It's nice to see references to real studies as opposed to the social logic saying 'It's the same as anti-vaxers, so there's no basis to that!'

The only people I've seen suggesting that it has health implications have been hanging out in my city centre also claiming that 9/11 was an inside job and that InfoWars is a legitimate news source. This is in the UK! ...so I'm not convinced of any issues so far.

9/11 being an inside job is still more plausible than any other theory or "investigation" conclusion really.

It's definitely not. But thanks for playing along.
