5G Technology - The Possible Carcinogenic but not Probable Carcinogenic Radiation
“5G is the cause of the current coronavirus pandemic, 5G is weakening the human immune system and leading to a lot of diseases, 5G is a plan for China to take over the world by killing everyone, 5G is wrong”. I have heard all this from different unproven theories, stories and tales about the 5G Network and the most absurd thing about this whole situation is that people are now destroying and burning down valuable infrastructure based on this believe and the fear for their health and that of their loved once. They are taking laws into their hands making the entire issue more complicated and you know one thing, convincing people can be one of the most difficult thing to do so I will just be talking about the 5G Network without trying to convince anyone. If you are going to face a crowd of people against the 5G network, please do wear a helmet, a fire and bullet proof cover coat as well as make sure you stay in an armored car. You do not want to be a victim of an angry mob.
What is 5G Network?
Different wavelength of electromagnetic radiation has been used for decades to transmit data and/or information from one region to another even as far back as when fire was used to transmit information and send signals to warriors to today when light and optic fibers are used to send data from one place to another. With the need for wireless connectivity and means of transmitting data, soon the Cellular network or 1G was created in Japan in 1979 where high power radio were used as means of transmissions from mobile phone. It utilizes radioactive waves with a wavelength of 104to 1016. Frequency band or bandwidth became a very big issue for the 1G network as if a user was on a frequency band another user couldn’t use it, instead they had to be use another frequency band. The more bandwidth available determines the numbers of data/information that a mast/tower can handle. 1G could only transmit 2.4kbps.
2G came in with digital data and the ability to text message. 2G was able to achieve 9.2kbps and could take up to 1000 messages with ease. As time went, 2G was able to take up to 200kbps and the 2G existed till the first generation of the iPhone.
3G came with additional frequency bands and made utilized data packet switching which allowed people to share different frequency easily. Data were divided into chunks and sent through different frequency bands so instead of sending a single large data through a single frequency band, it had to be splitted into smaller data packets which made it faster to send data. This allowed the efficiency of the frequency bands and allowed the use of more data. High speed packet access (HSPA) was able to increase speed to 42mbps or 42000kbps. The HSPA was regarded as 3.5G in some cases.
With data usage on the increase the 4G or LTE was introduced which could carry a frequency of 700 MHz band to 1 GHz. We have been trying to increase speed without adding new frequencies to the already available ones. With high frequency millimeter waves, there are still network problems. The waves get blocked by almost everything and get disturbed by rain.
5G is the talk of the town but this technology is 100 times faster than the 4G network, its response time is as fast as 1 milliseconds. The technology works as a foundation to virtual reality, internet of things, and autonomous driving. 5G uses millimeter waves, small cells, massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), Beam forming, and full duplex. 5G uses a frequency up to 70 GHz.
Is 5G Safe
The FCC requires that every phone in the market be tested and given a value on the amount radiation it emits and the value is below the point where adverse health effect could occur. WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) said that radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation in phone as possible carcinogenic to humans but it has not been proven fully. The thing about laymen is that they just decide on the word Carcinogenic to humans and started drawing conclusion. On a plain note, 5G is possible not probable and the next line to show that it is dangerous is probable before getting to definite. Also a few things are carcinogens like coffee, vegetable and so many other things but people still order for Starbucks.
Like I said, I am not in the business of telling someone that 5G is good or bad so I am leaving it to you to judge the radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation of 5G.
This 5G conspiracy theory has really caused a lot of damage than expected. If the spectrum isn't on the high then why create a theory just to go against it.
I believe this is a politically inclined approach toward the 5G network or maybe i should say geopolitics.
One thing i want to say about 5G is that there might be atom of truths in the research that says this spectrum is dangerous because i did not think there was this much rancor with 4G.
I cam remember a lot of debate and evidence going back to 1G and 2G. The thing about 4G, is there just hasn't been enough proper study so even though it has been around for a while, we still don't fully understand it.
Studies have been going on by the WHO for a very long time and that is why the network and mobile phones generally is classifies as a possible cause as it is not yet proven. So being possible cause means it might have not been proven but it doesn't mean it doesn't causes it or it does causes it.
I believe it is still too much of an unknown and thus is still a big risk. There is evidence that it may well be harmful and most countries are relying on pretty old studies to set the current safety limits.
I would prefer more studies to see if is safe before we roll out something that could potentially be very harmful. We shouldn't shoot in the dark when it comes to public health.
My believe on this is that there is a political aspect to this. Do not forget that large corporations pay to get licence to research the newest network spectrum and as well as produce it out. If it is true, then there are political forces pushing that it is good. We could say they are worldwide zaibatsu.
Maybe soon, laws will appear to ban it because they discovered is dangerous in human health.
So many people have proven that this isn't dangerous while a few others say it is dangerous. One thing about humans and our planet is that we are radioactive being.
@gbenga 4g technology just cause many birds lost. And this 5g will make them completely lost. Apart from that we will also face radiation.
So many research proved this write and a lot proved it wrong seeing that birds still play on 4G mast.
I think that the technology is good or bad depending on the use made by humans, therein lies everything.Your post is very informative . I liked to know about one of the cellular networks thanks to your post i am aware of that Good job, congratulations
I am glad you liked it. There is the good and bad of tech, it depends on humans to decide.
Dear @gbenga
Another interesting choice of topic. There is just so much uncertainty around 5G technology, that I myself feel quite uncomfortable being potentially exposed to it.
All those sentences like "5G is the cause of the current coronavirus pandemic" seem to be part of very smart manipulation, which is currently happening on global scale.
What do i mean, you may ask? :)) (hope you would hehe).
Imagine for a moment, that you're planning to introduce some new technology and you expect that people would resist. You expect that many experts and pseudo-experts will be complaining about your technology and bringing more people against you. And going into fight with thousands of youtubers, influencers and experts can be very challenging.
What would you do? Perhaps strategy of disinformation and embarassement would be a great solution? Why not to promote some crazy stuipid conspiracy theories, which will go wild across the globe. Only to be completely "crushed" later on, making it look that all those who complained about 5g and coronavirus were just bunch of idiots.
Guess what would be the effect of such a strategy? In the future most people would avoid talking about 5G, because they wouldn't like to be assosiated with all those conspiracy fans.
That's at least what I think is happening. Companies behind 5G is pushing very hard and are building this narrative. So instead of having to fight with real experts, they will just have to focus on this nonesense. Divering attention of millions towards something, which will turn out to be a BS.
I myself am terrified with idea of implementing 5G without years of study.
Is there anyone in the world who still has any trust towards real motives behind WHO? It seem to be obvious that they care about funding more than about protecting humans.
The most scary thing about 5g is the fact, that those anthenas need to be placed in very near distances from each other. So you may end up living in blockflat with new 5G anthena right above your roof. Without having anything to say about it.
Good read. Upvote on the way! Catch :)

This is a very long comment i must say. Like i said before, it looks like the world Zaibatsu behind the technology and political forces are behind this conspiracy. Which means this conspiracy is all political and companies like Vodafone, Samsung, Motorola and others will stop at nothing to make sure this thing is received worldwide.
Actually we can't trust anything in the world now both government and nongovernmental organisations.
I wish i could write so long comment but i do not have the strength.
Dear @gbenga
Indeed it was :) I'm glad you've read it
Thanks for being always so reponsive. Have a great sunday ahead,
Yours, Piotr
Very interesting article.
Thank you.
I'm going to post a link to it in here.
I hope that is okay with you.
Let me know if not and I will be happy to remove it.
Connections abound.
Those who have eyes to see do or Will and those who don't. . .well.
