What I don't understand is that a site like BBC, doesn't actually harshly denounce it as a scam. Why?
If you read the article carefully you will hear a quiet sniggering in the background.
Devastating.

Making it electronic looking at all seems like a strange choice. Surely at least some people would know electronics need electricity.
> Surely at least some people would know electronics need electricity. If you buy into the conspiracy, then electricity is probably some kind of dark magic to you. EDIT: They actually have you plug it in to charge it periodically or expand the protective field.
If they say that, the lack of a battery on disassembly could make their claims provably false rather than obviously false.

Possibly they assume that those who are able to read the article are able to form that obvious opinion for themselves?
I'm comparing this to the lowest common denominator style of news in the USA.

#54Why is this product even a USB stick? The advertisement says it works fine just placing it near your cell phone. Do people have some sort of trust in USB sticks?
Apparently it is a 128Mb stick, with a pdf on it.
"The stick comes loaded with a 25 page PDF version of the material from 5GbioShield ‘s website. It included a Q&A of distances for the “bubble” and how to know if it is working. It’s an “always on” system apparently, is always working, powered or not, so no visual checks needed.
A review of the stick’s properties revealed nothing more that what you’d expect from a regular 128MB USB key. We weren’t even sure that 128s are still in production!"

#55If you think this is just bunk, and you'd like a laugh, read the FAQs on the website [1]... My favourite: >Does the device remove the EMF from the environment? If so can I use a meter to measure EMF? >>The 'electro magnetic meter' can only measure the intensity of radiation which is not changed by our technology nor does it change the quality of connection and speed of data transfer. Well, that's convenient, isn't it…
> Do people actually believe this nonsense? Yes. I have moved past thinking we need to protect people from this kind of thing. If they believe it, let them buy it. The only harm their ignorance is doing is to themselves. They might even get some kind of placebo reassurance from it.
I'm not advocating for eradicating stupid ideas to protect fools; but sometimes fools do very stupid things, and they don't just hurt themselves. See: the 5G arsons in the UK.

Nah, you're looking for an old-fashioned official-science battery. It charges a bio-quantum spiritual battery.

Don't think so. Quantum is often used as a convenient explanation for why things work in those circles (at least from what i've seen). How does it protect me from evil radiation? It's quantum, you wouldn't understand.
Hm, I was always under the impression that not understanding a physical system is the root cause for such technological fears. Clearly quantum mechanics are in the same realm. But maybe this can be used as a cure for many fears? I mean multiple studies have shown that the root cause for fear of flying comes from not knowing or understanding how a plane flies. I mean sure, it clearly does not flap its wings, so it mig…
Ironically, they fear the logical explanations they don't understand. But with "quantum" they can wave off everything as if its magic.
These people distrust sciency explanations because they think its harmful manmade stuff. They only trust things that sound like they're part of the "natural order" of things.

#58> [...] promises to protect your family from 5G, using ground-breaking quantum technology My intuitive guess would be that for the target audience "ground-breaking quantum technology" would cause even more problems for their family than 5G. Interesting.

What ‘AI’ is to B2B, ‘quantum’ is to B2C.

Toby Hall's comments are gold.
> Surveillance, IOT- Internet of Things, and 5G. Crowd control, mind control, ‘voice to skull’, and the ability to manipulate individuals or groups of people emotionally, even to self-harm are achieved via RFR programming. This patented technology is being used worldwide. 5G is the vehicle for total control and the ‘surveillance state’, this is pernicious and dangerous.
> Medical/Health damage. RFR damage can be slow and accumulative. With higher levels it can be lethal and dramatic. Such as flocks of birds falling out of the sky dead when 5G is turned on. People get nose bleeds and suicide rates increase.
