New 5G Laws Mandate Accelerated Rollout
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/04/16/5g-rollout.aspx
S. 893 and S. 1822 will accelerate the rollout of a potentially dangerous technology that exposes Americans to EMFs in the form of the millimeter wave.
Can EMFs Make Us More Susceptible to Coronavirus Infection?

While unproven, one current theory is that electromagnetic field radiation could be having an impact on the COVID-19 pandemic.

When you aren’t burning fat for fuel and then get exposed to EMFs, a perfect storm of DNA and cellular protein and membrane destruction is triggered.

Maudeen, why in the world are you falling for all that asinine garbage?

Every one of the links you posted is pure, unscientific and unverified scare tactic bunk. The laws of physics (the "skin effect") dictate that as the frequency of a radio signal ("EMR") increases, the depth it penetratesdecreases.

5G EMR frequencies are so high that the depth of their penetration into human skin only is ~0.4 mm or 1/64" (.016" ) or sixteen thousandths of an inch. That's the thickness of five human hairs...

And, since all EMR is "non-ionizing", all it can do is heat the body. At cellphone power levels, skin warming by 5G signals would not even be perceptible -- because it would not even penetrate to the depth of the nerves in the skin.

5G frequencies are so high that they are intrinsically orders of magnitude safer than current cellphone frequencies (which have not, themselves, been proven to be a physiological problem.)

You don't have to take this physical chemist's word for these scientific facts. You can read what the nation's top electronics engineers have to say on the subject:

IEEE Spectrum: "Will 5G Be Bad for Our Health?"
(Conclusion...)

As to whether the millimeter wave bands are safe, Waterhouse explains that because RF from cellular sites is on the non-ionizing radiation spectrum, it’s not the kind of radiation that could damage DNA and possibly cause cancer. The only known biological impact of RF on humans is heating tissue. Excessive exposure to RF causes a person’s entire body to overheat to dangerous levels. Local exposure can damage skin tissue or corneas.

“The actual impact and the depth of penetration into the human body is less at higher [i.e. 5G] frequencies,” he says. “The advantage of that is your skin won’t be damaged because millimeter waves will reflect off the skin’s surface.”

Waterhouse admits that although millimeter waves have been used for many different applications—including astronomy and military applications—the effect of their use in telecommunications is not well understood. Waterhouse says it’s up to regulatory bodies overseeing the telecommunication companies to ensure the safety of 5G. The general perception is that millimeter waves are safe but should still be monitored, he says.

“The majority of the scientific community does not think there’s an issue,” Waterhouse says. “However, it would be unscientific to flat out say there are no reasons to worry.”

Many opponents insist that 5G must be proven safe before regulators allow deployments. The problem with this assertion, according to Witkowski, is that it isn’t logically possible to prove anything with 100 percent certainty.

“Showering, cooking breakfast, commuting to work, eating in a restaurant, being out in public—everything we do carries risk,” he says. “Whether we’re talking about 3G, 4G, or 5G, the question of electromagnetic radiation safety (EMR) is whether the risks are manageable. The first medical studies on possible health effects from EMR started almost 60 years ago, and literally thousands of studies since then reported either no health risk or inconclusive findings. A relatively small number of studies have claimed to find some evidence of risk, but those studies have never been reproduced—and reproducibility is a key factor in good science.

We should continue to look at the question of EMR health effects, but the vast majority of evidence says there’s no reason to pause deployments.”

At least, there you have a look at the other side of the issue...
