Forget about data breach – what about my health, Mum!?!

It is easy for the Telecomm industry to say that concerns over health issues from 5G are baseless, fear-mongering and that 5G is totally safe. You may remember similar reassurances from the Tobacco Agency on smoking and drug companies on DDT and Thalidomide. When Marie Curie developed X-Rays, people bought the radiated water to wash their faces as it reduced ageing. That particular spin-off didn’t last long! More recently we have the US opioid scandal; Purdue Pharma directors have been accused of causing addiction and death while being aware of the risks of oxycontin. 200 deaths a week have been attributed to this drug.

Q. If 5G is safe, why are experts in the field, the scientific research bodies and industry worried?

For a start, Telecoms use SARS testing to claim safety for the devices but the SARS testing is an old and outdated system (papers from 1988 are online) and the measurements are taken “off-body” from a distance, not from on the skin or clothes (eg pocket, bag, tucked in bra et). There is no insurance company, including Lloyds of London, who will insure against potential health damage from mobile phones. See research findings here

2, 3, 4 and 5G Electromagnetic Radiation is man-made and not naturally occurring. A new 5G mobile phone will have around 128 antennae in each one, current phones have one possibly two. Think about sitting on the train, with everyone else on their phones around you – just do the sums! Also, damage isn’t immediately obvious with low-level radiation exposure, it can take up to 40 years for serious symptoms to manifest. We know to avoid the sun. The rays are radioactive and can result in skin cancers, we wouldn’t put babies outside in full mid-day sun yet many mothers have i-pads, mobiles and other devices around their children for much of the day due to the reassurances from the Telecom Industry that all is well.
NB we will still have the 2,3 and 4G frequencies alongside 5G. 5G is a totally different set of EMR’s (electromagnetic radiation)
In 2015, a body of respected scientists from around the world wrote to the UN, WHO and the UN Member Nations https://www.emfscientist.org/index.php/emf-scientist-appeal making their concerns clear.


They specifically ask for the following to be implemented and have updated this appeal again in 2019 – no action has been taken at any time on any of the following points
Collectively we also request that:
1. children and pregnant women be protected;
2. guidelines and regulatory standards be strengthened;
3. manufacturers be encouraged to develop safer technology;

The launching programme of 20,000 satellites to orbit the Earth and transmit from above (with Elon Musk launching satellites for this purpose this year) has begun. With the continuing proposed erection of additional masts and cells combined with the installation of antennae into pretty much anything that moves and most things that don’t, what chance do we stand?
