Coronavirus and 5G conspiracy theory

conspiracy theory

Some individuals are claiming that people are getting infected by coronavirus due to 5G technology. As the 5G technologies weaken your immune system and make it easy for the virus to enter your body. These are baseless and illogical claims people are spreading.

The cell towers release a radiofrequency wave which is a form of non-ionizing radiation. The non-ionizing radiation is not strong enough to disrupt the structure of atoms of damage DNA.

The ionizing radiations such as X-rays, gamma rays, and ultraviolet light (UV light) can cause harm to human health. Try to avoid these radiations as much as possible because these radiations may cause cancer.

During this pandemic, the world is fighting with the coronavirus and also with those uninformed people who keep sharing baseless information related to 5G on mainstream and on social media as well.

As of today, there is no evidence found spreading of this virus through 5G towers. But this misinformation spread rapidly on social media as other myths.

World Health Organization (WHO) gave a statement in a press conference that 5G is not harmful to human health and it does not transfer any kind of virus into the human body.

All the studies and reports on coronavirus revealed that the virus is transferable through droplets. It’s not in the air at the moment it can transfer through physical contacts.

The false information and conspiracy theory leads toward the cost of many lives as there were some rumors regarding drinking alcohol kills the virus. Due to this many people lost their lives around the globe. In addition, the same thing happened on 5G technology, people burned the 5G towers just to prevent coronavirus.

5G is the fifth generation of wireless communication technology. 5G is faster, efficient, and smoother than 4G. The 5G can have a speed of 10 gigabits or more, so having these stats we can surely conclude that 5G is a hundred times faster than 4G.

People must defeat this kind of misinformation by searching the authenticity of shared information by checking statements of government officials and related institutions such as WHO.

Second people shouldn’t believe everything they see on social media as the information on social media is vague and not trustworthy unless it came from an authentic source. People must try to understand the purpose behind shared information and not believe in any conspiracy theory.
