The WHO says some conspiracy theorists have psychiatric conditions

The report accuses the conspiracy theorists of looking up the symptoms of radiation sickness, such as nausea, hair loss, and bone marrow damage, and complaining about them. But these are certainly not the symptoms of someone ill with coronavirus. X-ray and CT scan imaging shows that those infected with COVID-19 have lungs filled with a “sticky mucus” that makes it hard for them to breathe.

U.K. government officials have pushed back hard on the conspiracy theories calling them “dangerous nonsense” and “absolute and utter rubbish.”And even Harrelson, who has been known to campaign hard for several causes, admitted that he never fully vetted Professor Pall’s report.

5G is the next generation of wireless connectivity and is expected to deliver download data speeds 10 times faster than 4G LTE. At that speed, downloading a full-length HD movie takes seconds instead of minutes. But 5G is about more than just faster movie downloads. The faster data speeds will lead to the creation of new businesses and industries. For example, thanks to 4G LTE networks, the world has been graced with the presence of rideshare companies and two of them (Lyft and Uber) are valued at billions of dollars.

Those in the U.K. who believe that 5G is the source of the current global crisis note that in the U.K., 5G antennas continue to be deployed during the lockdown. They wonder why network engineers aren’t staying at home like others are. There actually is a good reason for this. In the country (and in other countries as well), mobile network engineers are considered essential because they are working on important national infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Sky News found posts on Facebook that called for conspiracy theorists in the U.K. to harass the engineers and praised those who damaged 5G  tower masts. One post said, “We are being murdered by the world government…time to fight or die.”

Any time there is new a technology, you hear about people trying to make connections between it and some health issues. However, in the present situation, we are dealing with a global pandemic that might have started in the same city where China decided to debut 5G. But just like those who believe that smartphones cause brain tumors, there is no definitive proof that it is true.
