>Millimeter waves are mostly absorbed within a few millimeters of human skin and in the surface layers of the cornea.
>The research suggests that long-term exposure may pose health risks to the skin (e.g., melanoma), the eyes (e.g., ocular melanoma) and the testes (e.g., sterility).
>Since 5G is a new technology, there is no research on health effects

Children of Men scenario:
>Roll-out 5G with little to no research on the effect on human biology.
>More people getting married and having kids later in life right now as it is.
>Begin to see health effects, attribute to other factors (age, diet, climate change, whatever).
>Years progress, parents continue to give their five year olds cell phones, unknowingly exposing radiation to their prepubescent testicles.
>Kids hit puberty and a generation begins to see rise in sterility rates.
>World catches on too late, 5G is everywhere, built into every part of society and infrastructure and "smart cities". World is divided on the issue, half don't believe it's real. >Nothing really changes, too dependent on the tech at this point and governments don't want to give up the greater surveillance and espionage capabilities offered in 5G.
>Entire generation is now sterile. World descends into chaos, factions emerge, world governments become more authoritarian. Some fall into civil war. Environmental terrorists and anarchists make attacks on public infrastructure.
>World must decide to dismantle the 5G infrastructure, wait for entire new generation to grow up.
>Large age gap in world population causes widespread economic depression.
