ended Part 2 asking, “So, given that there’s a yet unquantifiable risk, what do we do? Stop 5G until it is proven harmless? Deploy 5G until it is proven dangerous? Something in between?”

This remains a tough question. Furthermore, there are consequences to getting the answer wrong. Asbestos was widely deployed since the late 1800s, only to discover in recent years that exposure may cause mesothelioma, a cancer of the thin membranes that line the chest and abdomen. That’s a consequence of considering something safe that wasn’t. Alternatively, many parents stopped vaccinating their children after a 1998 study claimed that MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine caused the development of autism in children. This study was subsequently retracted, and later studies showed no link.

what do we do when faced with an unquantifiable health risk, such as that posed by 5G deployment? I don’t believe that there is an unambiguously obvious answer to that question (other than more study, which I’ll get to in a moment).

One of the issues with waiting to deploy 5G until it is proven safe is that it is often impossible to prove the non-existence of something. This is particularly true when it is difficult to create valid control and treatment groups, and the timeframes for the results (development of cancer) are very long. It is not clear any technology could ever be proven totally safe. Second, it is not clear that 5G poses more risk than 3G/4G, the technologies it eventually replaces.

knowledge, which led to more efficient markets, raised living standards and life spans. Was this a proper tradeoff, even if we later discover that cancer rates became a small degree higher?

Deploy 5G until it is proven dangerous
This is certainly the path we are on. The obvious risk is that once we find it unsafe, we will have already exposed millions of people to mmWave radiation. This was the case with the widespread adoption of thalidomide in the 1950s and 1960s.

are we really sure 5G itself will add significant value to our lives over 4G? After all, the first 5G application, fixed internet access, has already been solved with cable systems without any emissions at all.

It is impossible to balance the risks and benefits when the risks and benefits are so unquantifiable. Nevertheless, we will do something—and that something is the current path of 5G deployment until if and when we find a more certain serious danger.

discussion about the health effects from cellular radiation is a somewhat taboo subject. Nearly all of the industry papers relate to ionization and thermal effects, which we know can be managed. Even to bring up possible EM effects is considered somewhat kooky.

We know each of the above is true. Together they may show a possible link from mmWaves to cancer or other ailments. The key word is “may.” Also, they may not. However, these risks cannot be simply waved away as nutty conspiracy theories.

In this video I show you how much microwave radiation is coming from your phone during a phone call and from wifi.

Over 180 scientists and doctors in almost 40 countries are warning the world about 5G health risks. These scientists’ response to “Resolution 1815 of the Council of Europe” spells it out quite succinctly:

“We, the undersigned scientists, recommend a moratorium on the roll-out of the fifth generation, 5G, until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from industry. 5G will substantially increase exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF)… and has been proven to be harmful for humans and the environment.”

“The race to 5G could be slowed by alleged health concerns related to radio frequency,” Rajgopal writes. “These concerns have been around as long as mobile phones, but there have been a number of recent regulatory/public initiatives demanding delays or outright bans on the rollout of 5G.”
