5G Health Effects: 7 Case Reports of Health Symptoms After 5G Cell Towers Placed in Sweden

5G Health Effects: 7 Case Reports of Health Symptoms After 5G Cell Towers Placed in Sweden, mdsafetech.org, 20 November 2023, updated 28 January 2024

Now that the massive rollout of 5G cell towers is proceeding throughout cities worldwide, remarkably devoid of the barriers of premarket testing or health and safety studies, and propelled by industry friendly laws, research is now being published on the real-life exposures and health effects of operational 5G towers. For now, this series examines only short term neurologic effects which have been reported. Long term health effects will not be known for decades.

The first investigation of health impacts is in a series of now 7 case reports from Sweden in the last year which have been delivered to the scientific community, revealing that some residents or vacationers living near the new 5G towers developed symptoms of microwave illness soon after deployment of the 5G base station. When these affected individuals moved to a lower EMF dwelling their symptoms subsided. Most of these cases are considered classic examples of a provocation test. In all cases the exposure levels, although some of the highest levels researchers had measured in homes, were below the current ICNIRP standards purported to be “safe” and cause no health effects. These were, however, well above levels considered “safe” according to robust literature referenced in many reports including the BioInitiative Report and EUROPAEM EMF Guidelines. ICNIRP guidelines are however now being scientifically challenged and any new guidelines produced by ICNIRP , WHO, FDA, or FCC in the future would be considered inherently flawed if they are based on several current flawed assumptions, the most important of which is that they consider heat to be the only cause of harm. These 7 case reports were preceded by reports of similar neurologic health symptoms in residents and families in Geneva Switzerland when 5G towers were placed in 2019 and in diplomats in Havana, China, Austria and the U.S. from 2016-2022.  

A 2000 a study commissioned by T Mobile on health effects of mobile phone radiation noted the basis for safety guidelines is thermal, but there were few studies on non thermal (biological) effects of RFR to justify the rollout of cell towers. The report states, “The study of potential health effects cannot generally compete with the speed of technical development and the roll out of the product…If there are sufficient indications that there may be damaging effects, the precautionary principle for the protection of health and the environment will apply and avoidable exposures will be avoided until such time when there is enough knowledge for a wider introduction of the technology in question. This theory draws its justification not least from the experiences with the introduction of technologies and products (such as asbestos, DDT, CFCs, formaldehyde, wood preservatives, mass X‐ray screenings etc.), which were widely used, even many years after the first clear indications of health and ecological damage had appeared.” Almost 20 years after this report was published technology has advanced even further, with increasing concern about the newer 5G (and 6G) systems with Massive MIMO and beam forming technology using significantly higher energy and power.(Tornevik). There are Pros and Cons of 5G systems but the weight of evidence currently shows more risk than benefit.
