t. scientifically illiterate retard who doesn't know how science works

I don't know much about 5G or 6G and I'm not someone who is super concerned about either, but the idea that anyone who questions the safety of these technologies is a 'schizo' is completely ridiculous. If anything that sort of attitude makes YOU a schizo and science denying retard.

The whole way science works is you have to test things and you have to allow for debate (and there are actually game theoretic models that show that science as a whole can actually begin to breakdown if you don't allow debate and criticism of accepted wisdom). You can't just a priori say that 5G or 6G is completely safe. Literally every technology has benefits and downsides, and those need to closely examined, and there must be room for debate. You can't just assume that 5G is safe. This has to be demonstrated through computational modeling and empirical research.

Moreover, there is a massive financial incentive (in the range billions to trillions of dollars) for telecommunications companies to emphasize the utility of 5G while downplaying it's dangers. Just like the tobacco industry, big pharma, or oil. Industry, Wall Street, and the mainstream media are intimately connected. The people at Fox News, CNN, Vice Media, Vox, MSNBC, Buzzfeed, etc., these people have a lot more in common with telecom executives and big oil executives than with the common people. They don't care about you interests or mine. They literally lie to us on a regular basis and repeatedly covered for multinational corporation and the government in the passed, so what makes you trust when they're cheering on censorship and calling anyone who questions big tech or wall street a "conspiracy theorist".

As I said, I'm not terribly concerned about 5G. I don't know much about the topic, but I doubt that I'm going to get cancer or grow another arm or anything. What concerns me is the attitude certain scientific topics are undebateable.
