Comment	I had a guy on my Facebook, a friend of a friend type, posting about the immense danger of 5G. Now I thought this guy fairly smart, not the inherently ignorant type that my mind conjures when I hear about this tripe. I asked him why he thought it was dangerous, and he almost started a reasonable discussion. Not that his points were valid at all; The frequency of the radiation of the antennas is the same as gamma radiation etc etc (it's not) - and then he descended into madness about how it causes COVID and how the lockdown is in place to allow the government to install 5G masts. Apparently we are now under the Orwellian control of Virgin Media, Three and Vodafone to name but a few. I made the mistake of asking for proof whereby I get a load of published articles from blogs that have three followers wearing tinfoil balaclavas and am summarily blocked five minutes later. This dude is about to have his first kid, and these fuck nuggets are completely ignorant. It's horrific. Also, why would we need to be locked up for a 5G install to go ahead? It's been rolling out across the world for years in terms of hardware deployment at the very least. I wish conspiracy theorists would use the same kind of energy they do negating scientific basis on learning about where their information comes from. Propaganda would be dead in a matter of weeks.

I asked him why he thought it was dangerous, and he *almost* started a reasonable discussion. Not that his points were valid at all; The frequency of the radiation of the antennas is the same as gamma radiation etc etc (it's not) - and then he descended into madness about how it causes COVID and how the lockdown is in place to allow the government to install 5G masts.
