While some of the more ludicrous claims involved 5G microchip implants hidden in fake vaccines, others fell back on a more familiar trope—that 5G frequencies are actively harmful to our health.
All 5G networks currently operate under 6 gigahertz (GHz), but that will expand to encompass 24.3 to 27.5 GHz and 39.5 to 43.3 GHz ranges in the coming years.
Despite this, the team from this study conducted a fully blinded experiment that exposed human cells to not only 5G frequency ranges, but also far more powerful electromagnetic fields.
According to the authors, this is the first-known study to use methods including whole-genome RNA sequencing and methylation array for analyzing both the genetic and epigenetic effects of 5G frequencies on human cells.
Because of this, it’s extremely likely that any of their recorded “effects” from 5G exposure were the results of heat alone.
