    The hippies and eco warriors are getting their knickers in a twist about 5g and the apparent health ramifications from it.

    do they have a point?

    None whatsoever.

    "Absolutely no 5G anywhere ! It would nuke everyone everywhere ! Most insane idea ever in the history of the world !" Some insightful commentary.

    They remind me of anti-vaxxers

    This has been going on since 088 numbers first came out. But here we are...no brain cancer after 25 years of mobiling.

    Remember when 1G was supposed to give us all cancer?

    I know nothing about it, other than the fact that the people getting their knickers in a twist over it are the very same people who get their knickers in a twist about chemtrails, fluoride and vaccinations. That alone has convinced me not to worry about it.

    Jesus H Christ!

    There is zero credible evidence to support their claims.
    As for the water absorbing EMF, what does it do with it?
    Ask a radio network engineer about the issues lakes can cause with cellular coverage.
    This are the same wagons who will bang on about Vaccines, Big Pharma and homeopathy!

    I'm always happy to review actual evidence and where needed adjust my views or support change to protect health.
    That said, I've yet to come across any evidence supporting this nutters stance!

    It was the same issue with 4G and with WiFi.
    If 5g is so harmful one would wonder why the entire isn't a cancer ridden wasteland given the years of MMDS and Deflector transmission systems were used.
    Let alone UHF Television.....

    The internet is a wonderful thing, unfortunately those idiots that used to be so easily ignored!
    Are now using it to band together and drown out rationality!

    You know what's even more more insufferable than anti-vaxxers are the "professional skeptics" like you, stinking up every discussion with posts like that which show nothing and are just about shouting from your soapbox how great you are and how awful it is that you have to put up with those types.... with the barest clue of the relevant science or research of course and yet all the while so confident in your pronouncements.

    5G has genuine health concerns. It is not proven that it causes a clear amount of cancer yet but should be outlawed.

    There isn't any substance to this argument.

    Tell you what, present peer reviewed research that supports the fact that exposure to frequencies in the UHF range increase the incidence of cancer?

    Fairly simple request.

    The radio band 5G uses has been used for decades for TV and radio transmission, walkie talkies, CB and numerous other uses without raising the spectre of bandwagogonning NIMBY idiots....

    What's changed in the new use of this particular spectrum that makes it dangerous?

    Please?
    Explain what makes it dangerous now?

    Nothing whatsoever.

    There’s a lot of nonsense going around that it’s killed hundreds of birds or that millions of trees have to be cut down.

    This is just more ludicrous misinformation being propagated by the Chemtrails O’Ploterty types.

    I think I can see where our disagreement is coming from now - it stems from how you don't have the slightest ****ing clue.

    5G extends into the EHF (Extremely High Frequency) wavelengths, that's the point.

    This is what I'm talking about. Look at you on your soap box, repeatedly asking the same question, acting like you're some sort of enlightened individual surrounded by idiots.

    You apparently didn't even know that 5G is in the EHF spectrum. You haven't got a monkies what you're on about.

    So you are one of the Band Wagoners who resorts to name calling?

    I'm not calling you an idiot btw, merely asking what supports your position?

    Yea it does extend into EHF, the low end all the same but again.
    The Irish spectrum in particular extends to 3.6ghz
    Now let's ask ourselves what else uses those ranges?
    Or did...
    TV.

    So can you just provide the data I asked for?
    Or explain what is particularly dangerous about 3.6ghz?
    That isn't dangerous about 900mhz? 1800mhz? 2.4ghz or 5ghz ?

    What research is available to confirm that the spectrum designated for 5g in Ireland, is opening a Pandora's box of weird ailments?

    Remember when 1G was supposed to give us all cancer?

    Cancer rates never been so high.
    Maybe use Mobile phones is part of this.

    Cancer is often a function of ageing.
    Cellular mutation introduced as cells divide.
    Life expectancy has also never been so high, ergo if people could just conveniently live less long...
    Cancer rates would plummet ;)

    I know a lot of young people who died from cancer


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 369 ✭✭Ineedaname


    People really need to learn the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.

    Radio waves, microwaves and infra-red waves are all non-ionizing. They will never give you cancer. They just don't have enough energy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,747 ✭✭✭✭banie01

    A lot?
    Are you radioactive?

    I know seven people of died of cancer before they were thirty.
    Hilarious quip though.

    The quip was far from hilarious I'll grant.

    But let's take your example of 7 under 30 dying of cancer.
    In any statistical review that would be quite a significant cluster.
    Has there been any review of proximate or casual factors?
    What common factors apart from you, were there?

    We don't have a monkey's, but you and Gemma know all about it, eh?

    What is it about a RF wave that does damage? Is it the frequency or the energy? Which will heat food quicker, a 600w oven or a 900w oven?

    you won't be laughing when the Chinese use Huawei to control all the machines that use 5G and kill us.

    The Chinese are literally Skynet.
