5G: Are People Speaking Out about Health Effects Being Threatened?


(UPDATE 25 September 2018):  On August 23rd, John C. Dvorak, PC MAGAZINE journalist for over 36 years wrote the article below against 5G titled: "THE PROBLEM WITH 5G" in which he discussed the health effects associated with 5G and the intense but unjustified and harmful infrastructure it requires. HE WAS FIRED and the ARTICLE REMOVED.
(Ref. PC Mag puts Apple gadfly John Dvorak out to pasture).

Recently, Susanne Small was detained against her will at a mental health facility in Surrey, UK.
Richie Allen spoke to Susanne, who alleged that she was sectioned after she spoke to her doctor about a new mobile phone mast that had been erected near her home. Susanne told her doctor that she began to feel unwell around about the time that the mast was erected. She also presented her doctor with evidence that radiation from mobile phone masts is harmful and that 5G is going to be devastating to our health. Speaking to Richie from the hospital where she was being evaluated at the time, Susanne said that she believed that her doctor recommended that she undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Susanne said she was then taken to the hospital against her will. (Ref. Richie Allen interview with Susanne Small.)  She has since been released from the hospital.


The Problem With 5G
BY JOHN C. DVORAK, uk.pcmag.com,  22 AUG 2018

The technology might be the problem, but even worse for the companies behind it is the perception that 5G is already unsafe before they even get it on a single pole.



If you read the barrage of scary literature about 5G mobile phone technology, specifically the use of millimeter wave frequencies to transmit data, you must conclude that it is a bad bet.

I'm not saying this because the technology does not work. It's a bad bet because so little is known about the effects of millimeter waves (30GHz-300GHz). While these frequencies only permeate a small fraction of the human epidermis (the skin), the effect on the cornea, in particular, needs serious research.

Because the industry is too cheap to study the health effects of the technology itself, it lets this sort of product out the door despite the fact that it has already been weaponized by the military. These frequencies are so poor at travelling long distances, they need a transmitter on nearly every telephone pole and light pole to make 5G work.

5G is already getting some bad publicity, which could result in everything from bans on the technology to equipment destruction by vigilantes.

Of course, when you read deeper into what the chip and telecom companies are trying to do, you quickly discover that many systems calling themselves 5G are currently 4G mods using 5G as a marketing tool. Let's ignore that scam and stay focused on millimeter waves.

As usual, the mostly arrogant (or naïve) technology industry is caught flat-footed at the negative reaction. It always figures that the stupid public will buy into anything new and jazzy if it makes their handheld phone seem a little faster, and even pay more for the privilege of the upgrade.

One of the ways the industry has made this all work in the past is by quick implementation followed by a "Hey look it works! Nobody was killed" approach. That cannot happen with true 5G, which needs all these mini-towers all over the place. That leaves plenty more time for the public to get a clue and be freaked out.

When you do a search for "5G is Safe" on Google and Bing, you get a number of negative stories and a laundry list of why some people believe it's unsafe. Companies may as well begin to market a 5G mobile phone with a skull and crossbones on it.

If this bad PR is somehow reversed and 5G takes over the market, I will be shocked. The way it is going does not bode well for any of it.
