“Melatonin reduction “

I take 3mg of melatonin every 2-3 days and sleep like a baby now.

Started off at 10mg and felt lethargic for a day and a half.

“5G phones will transmit at a higher milliwattage than 4G phones?”

I don’t know, but doubt it. As I said, maximum transmit power is heavily regulated. Both for directional and omnidirectional broadcasts. It’s based on maximum theoretical SAR allowed, then set way below that level.

You could literally implant a cellphone in you, transmitting at maximum strength, all bands simultaneously (cell, internet, Bluetooth, etc.) and be safe from the radiation.

(In San Fran, you could probably find someone who already has. Hah.)

“Well then, sign up and get your 5G service.

Like the article says... “I fear 5G might be like asbestos, spreading everywhere through society, only to notice - too late - of the damage it has done.”

Oh, I definitely will. And kick Spectrum out for good. WiFi speeds matching hardwired. Oh yeah!!! Base station in home, download speeds over 100 MPS. Bye bye current monopolies. Who are likely behind some of the bs showing up about 5G.

As for “remember asbestos”, that’s too stupid to even address.

NO.. it's YOU that's TOO STUPID to address it or acknowledge the possibility.

Yeah, that's WHY over 400,000 New Yorkers were afflicted with problems of asbestos after the collapse of the Twin Towers on Sept 11th.

The World Trade Center Health Registry estimates about 410,000 people were exposed to a host of toxins including asbestos during the rescue, recovery and clean-up efforts that followed 9/11. People most affected by asbestos at Ground Zero were people assigned to rescue survivors.

You remind me of my neighbor Bob, who I said to, over and over during the past 20 years, "man, you need to quit SMOKING."

He's currently wearing an oxygen breathing apparatus 24 hrs a day after being diagnosed with advanced COPD.

Like so many in life.. "live & learn"... delivers the lesson costs that have a steeper price than you expect.

And if you continue to INSIST you're "right" at this early stage of 5G being introduced than you are dumber than a box of rocks.

Maybe they need the height because they are using 4G service for the backhaul. Or, more likely, microwave for the backhaul.

Whichever would be more “line of sight”? Microwave probably?

Conflating 5G with asbestos is idiotic. And now, trying to conflate it with smoking??? I mean, wtf? Seriously, do you hear yourself? What's next, global warming? Dogs and cats living together?

Yes, I'm laughing at you. Not with you. 😁🤣😂😁🤣😂

Obviously I don’t personally own the equipment necessary to do a spectrum analysis, and I actually have yet to be convinced that the frequencies used by 5G will be any more dangerous that currently used frequencies.

And I don’t believe the currently used cellular frequencies are dangerous - the power levels of cellular is still pretty low as far as RF goes.

And yes, tons of RF from normal RF devices, including Wi-fi, flourescent lamps & ballasts, etc. Not a concern.......

Don’t be silly.

It’s simple economics.

The equipment isn’t free, and the service providers pay a lot for the equipment, and especially the knowledge of their employees to keep it running, troubleshooting and fixing problems when it doesn’t, and having the skills necessary to help the business make a profit.

In places where a lot of people live, you can sell to them and pay for all of the equipment and talent with a little still left over for a profit. IF you (business owner) work your ass off.

Now, try to make as much money were hardly anyone lives?

It cannot be done unless the few customers pay a fortune, or the government pays for it, meaning our tax dollars, which I hate having to give to others when I barely get by.

I live in VERY rural Alabama. I also understand liberty and economics.

IMHO. The risks will depend heavily upon resonance and intensity of the field strengths. Where the geometry of the system doesn’t preclude aberration, the risks may remain and neither quantified nor qualified.

Considering people are likely to use the systems in close proximity to their bodies and neurological systems, the roll out maybe premature.

This will be my FINAL response to you.

You are one of those poor fools who has the "RIGHTNESS DISEASE"

You're determined to be "RIGHT" about whatever you're discussing. By the way... there's NO CURE other than the roof falling in on you.

A SYMPTOM of the "RIGHTNESS DISEASE"... 10 minutes after you've been very busy patting yourself on the back for being "RIGHT", you find yourself picking your A$$ up off the floor.

Keep "the show" going until you collide with REALITY.

I recommend you get your 5G service as soon as humanly possible. The population needs early involved guinea pigs.

Implant a modern smart phone in your brain and you will get brain cancer.
