Tucker Carlson and guest expert explain that adverse health effects of 5G technology have not been fully studied and are still unknown. Personally, Li-Fi seems much safer and has an even higher bandwidth than does 5G.
If Vladimir Putin can convince enough Americans that 5G technology will kill them, it might put a drag on U.S. adoption, research, and investment, and make a little space for Russia in a high-stakes geoeconomic technology race where China and the U.S. have the greatest advantage.
Some RT video titles—including “5G Wireless: A Dangerous ‘Experiment on Humanity’”; “How to Survive Dangers of 5G”; “Totally Insane’: Telecom Industry Ignores 5G Dangers” —have parroted that overheated scaremongering.
By contrast, Carlson’s “Are 5G networks a danger to our health and safety?” was relatively tame. Where RT is adept at booking fringe “experts” and outliers to appear on its shows, Fox News went with in-house medical contributor Marc Siegel, who actually walked Carlson through the roots of the 5G Apocalypse story.
“Russian TV is trying to scare us,” Siegel told Carlson. “So I don’t want to come out and say I think there are definite health risks. And I want to tell you, medically this is a huge home run.”
Siegel then gushed about what the increased speed and bandwidth of 5G could mean in the operating room. “We’re probably going to be able to operate robotically. That’s right. Robotically. From other places in the world!”
In the end, the closest Siegel could come to delivering on Carlson’s ominous setup was to repeatedly point out that no “long-term studies” of 5G’s health effects have been completed. That’s not surprising, given that the 5G standard is less than a year old. Carlson, though, expressed astonishment. “Before those studies are available, we’re building the infrastructure and doing it anyway?!”
The last long-term cellphone health study—of 2G and 3G technologies —took 10 years to complete, and when the results were released in 2018 both technologies were obsolete.

Far-Right Show TruNews Warns: 5G Technology Is the AntichristThe right-wing TV outlet is raising the alarm about the next-generation mobile telephony standard.

Because we watch Trumpland TV so you don’t have to, today we learned that mobile phone’s next generation of technology is the antichrist, threatening the very nature of our planet and perhaps our souls.
This is a big week for our TruNews pals: They’ve got three guys in Barcelona at the Mobile World Congress, while another two went to Vietnam to cover the Kim-Trump summit onsite. They’re a real news outlet, folks! And they're here to warn you about the dangers posed by 5G, from the threat of radiation to the destruction of the conventional banking system:
25 billion microchips connected to 5G internet by the year 2025...The whole world will be transitioned to 5G. 1.4 billion people will start using mobile internet over the next seven years. 1.4 billion people have yet to log onto the internet from a mobile phone!
Very poor people in undeveloped countries who've never had a physical bank account... they will never see that old world! They will have a bank account, and their first bank account will be on their phone!
They want to grab that section of the world that hasn't been involved in any of this, and they can supply it to them without the infrastructure of a bank being built.
If you watch the whole video, it's fairly bizarre. The TruNews crew spends 15 minutes discussing the benefits of a faster, better-connected world, but with the implication that those benefits are actually drawbacks. And the trio here never, actually, get into the actual details of how 5G is, as they described it, “connected to the Mark of the Beast System”—a.k.a., a sign of the antichrist. Nor do they mention how mobile banking is already pretty standard even in rural parts of Africa.
The implication here, as made clear in other TruNews videos, is that phone companies want total control of your life, but there’s also some vague anti-Semitic connotations in there too, which is par for the course for TruNews.
