Link Harvest: The Origin of Wireless Anti-Vaxxers

[osewalrus]

unlike the anti-vax movement, which started with a falsified study result, the belief that wireless networks cause brain cancer (or other cancer) started with an honest scientist trying to do a report. Problem was, he was a physicist, with no knowledge of biology or medicine. So he made a mistake.

He forgot to take into account the fact that brains and other organs are actually covered with this defensive shield called "epidermis" or "skin." Skin deflects high frequency radio waves, like the ones used in wireless wi-fi networks and 5G. His experiments of simply exposing brain tissue to high concentrations of high frequency radio waves were -- as every single scientist after him who attempted to replicate his results, but based on the reality that we are not Ood and do not walk around with our brains in our hands, proved -- wrong.

This did not, of course, stop the widespread belief that radio waves cause cancer to propogate like low-band radio waves.

So what you're saying is that the nation that most successfully adopts 5G broadband is the one most likely to repel the martian invasion?

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

So don't strip off your skin and walk around "naked."

Got it.

I think I can remember this one.
