[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 993331, member: 56232"] Doubt it. Basic physics says so. Radio waves are non-ionising radiation. In order for a photon to destabilise an atom in some way, the energy of the photon must be high enough to overcome the bonds holding the atoms together. The energy of a photon is determined by the frequency of the EM radiation and crucially, it doesn't matter what the intensity is as only the energy of individual photons matter. If a photon does not contain enough energy, it may "excite" the particles it interacts with but nothing more. This will cause it to heat up slightly and is how microwaves cook food. Crucially this heating cannot happen without you noticing, it's just a plain old burning sensation and the same as what you feel when you stand out in sunlight (the cancerous stuff is from UV end of the spectrum). 5G has a higher frequency than previous types used that is true but that frequency is still non-ionising and a LONG way of being so. At most if you were bombarded with an extremely intense beam of radiowaves (far more than you would ever encounter) the end result is you would get hot. Claims phones caused cancer etc were completely wrong as it was a correlation/causation issue. Essentially people who smoked would keep their packets in the jacket pockets and their phones in their trouser pockets. People who didn't would sometimes keep their phones in jacket pockets. End result, the people more likely to keep their phones in their trouser pockets were also more likely to be smokers. Now if someone didn't know this and just heard that 5G worked using a form of radiation, you could understand some concern at least. 5G causing a virus though is such a different level of brainfucked school dropout level of stupidity I can't even comprehend how someone with even the slightest understanding of physics or biology could believe it, let alone be violent based on that belief.
