how disruptive do you think 5g technology truly is

I'm not really sure, Ive watched some documentries about it. Allegedly people that are close to those towers get migraines and feel sick. It's not that farfetched its commonly accepted that cell phones, the signals give people cancer, so why wouldn't these big towers do that?
In china they warned pregnant women to wear these vest over the bellies so it wouldn't effect the babies. -

They said the same fucking thing when those Nokias with the different shells you could put on were popular. -

I read before that studies show there is no link between cell phone radiation and cancer at normal usage levels, but that you should try to limit exposure anyway as much as possible just in case. But I don’t know if those “studies” are bankrolled by the telecom companies. I haven’t looked into it that much. I almost never bring my phone to my head anyway. I use headphones and mostly just use it for browsing, shitposting, and watching tv at work. I guess keeping it in my pocket right next to my crotch might be a risk but I don’t wanna have kids anyway so fuck it -

What about dielectric effects? Ever notice that microwaved food tastes different to oven food?The authors report exposure-effect relationships in sentinel patients and their co-workers, who were technicians with high levels of exposure to RF/MW radiation. Information about exposures of patients with sentinel tumors was obtained from interviews, medical records, and technical sources. One patient was a member of a cohort of 25 workers with six tumors. The authors estimated relative risks for cancer in this group and latency periods for a larger group of self-reported individuals. Index patients with melanoma of the eye, testicular cancer, nasopharyngioma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and breast cancer were in the 20-37-year age group. Information about work conditions suggested prolonged exposures to high levels of RF/MW radiation that produced risks for the entire body. Clusters involved many different types of tumors. Latency periods were extremely brief in index patients and a larger self-reported group. The findings suggest that young persons exposed to high levels of RF/MW radiation for long periods in settings where preventive measures were lax were at increased risk for cancer.

I'm not giving up my phone and wifi, but I am careful to try to minimise my exposure, especially to phones in low signal areas that are busy transmitting data - they can broadcast at a few watts.
And there is no major difference between 5G as it stands to be implemented and 4G, it's basically just an incremental upgrade. Broadly the same frequencies and everything, we're not even going to be getting millimetre waves. We may see a 50% speed improvement.
I heard some 2G and 3G networks are shutting down to free up bandwidth for 4G and 5G though, which sucks. -

Obesity is also a risk factor, if you are fat and you smoke you're going to get Rushed -

Lol I kept seeing before that 5G was supposed to be able to get gigabit speeds. Like 10 gbps or some bullshit. Was that all just hype or what -

I meant the study that definitely proved a link between normal cell phone usage and cancer rates -

No, cell phone companies never bullshit about the speeds you will get on their network.
And no matter how good the technology they'll just over-sell the available bandwidth, and we'll be back to dealing with <1mbps speeds at peak times again. -

I guess the control group could be some jungle niggers in Papua New Guinea or something. Lol -

True I guess 4G was said to get theoretical speeds of 100 mbps or whatever and the most I ever get is maybe 15 -
2020-04-14 at 12:44 PM UTCIsn’t it funny how you can find an article to back up anything you believe pretty much. One person has an idea/study; another person debunks it😂
