Sneak Preview Anti Cell Tower & 5G campaign

[Kathleen King]

Hey all -
Our Luddite friends are back at it. There’s an entire page in the March Sneak Preview vilifying cell towers and 5G radiation. Maybe someone could provide a science based counterpoint to their nonsense? I know Curtis Hayden would at least take a letter to the editor if not a full commentary in rebuttal.

Alan Oppenheimer and I met with Councilperson Eric Larson at the end of January and offered help and education to the council.  I personally have no stomach to debate this on ’social media’ including the Sneak Preview.  I have also submitted my thoughts to the council in writing towards the end of the year.  I’ll be happy to work with the council and provide my insights should the issue reach some sort of formal status. 

Contrary to the title, as far as I am aware there is no ‘collaboration' pending at the Council.  Please let me know if I am mistaken.  As of our meeting with Eric, no proposals had been submitted in writing by the group.

As an interesting exercise, below is a short chat I just had with ChatGPT:

is 5g hazardous?

The scientific consensus is that 5G is safe and not hazardous to human health when deployed within the established safety guidelines and standards.

There is no evidence to suggest that 5G technology is any more hazardous than the previous generations of cellular technology. The electromagnetic radiation emitted by 5G networks is non-ionizing and falls well below the limits set by regulatory agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

However, some concerns have been raised regarding the potential health effects of 5G, particularly in relation to the higher frequencies used by some 5G networks. These concerns are based on a limited understanding of the science behind the technology and are not supported by any credible scientific evidence.

In summary, while concerns have been raised about the potential health effects of 5G, the scientific consensus is that it is safe and not hazardous to human health when deployed within established safety guidelines and standards.
