'I'm absolutely outraged... people would be taking action against the very infrastructure that we need to respond to this health emergency' NHS England medical director Stephen Powis says conspiracy theories linking 5G to coronavirus are 'utter rubbish'
On Friday, Facebook removed a page which showed several videos claiming to show 5G towers on fire and encouraged others to do the same.
In addition to warning on the theories about the safety of 5G technologies, Mobile UK added:"More worryingly some people are also abusing our key workers and making threats to damage infrastructure under the pretence of claims about 5G. "This is not acceptable and only impacts on our ability as an industry to maintain the resilience and operational capacity of the networks to support mass home working and critical connectivity to the emergency services, vulnerable consumers and hospitals."Conspiracy theories linking 5G signals to the coronavirus pandemic continue to spread despite there being no evidence the mobile phone signals pose a health risk.
While 5G uses different radio frequencies to its predecessors, it's important to recognise that the waveband involved is still"non-ionising", meaning it lacks enough energy toThe second theory appears to be based on the work of a Nobel Prize-winning biologist who suggested bacteria could generate radio waves.There's another major flaw with both these theories.
