I predict that there will be a movie where the characters wear masks and socially distance. It’ll be like an artsy indie movie about how we live in a society and you’ll watch it because everyone will be sharing their takes and you don’t wanna be out of the loop and the movie will be ok.

but mixed with the rush to market and FDA fast-tracking it makes me super nervous

This is reasonable tbh. I’m fine with a vaccine, but there’s not a lot of data and absolutely no data on potential long term effects (especially that new type of vaccine).

There’s a ocean of difference between being an anti-vax weirdo and being cautious.

Agree, but what happens is anti-vaxxers exploit that window of reasonability to push their agenda and the vax side demands complete party loyalty, or they characterize you as an anti-vaxxer loon

This is how I feel about 5g. I don’t think the RF levels are high enough to cause cancer or “cook your brain”, but being skeptical about a more than doubling of the background RF radiation, in conjunction with some initial studies that show some metabolic disruption with low-rise long term RF at some of the 5G frequencies maybe suggests that we should take a step back and do some additional longer term tests first rather than rush it to market.

Like, the Covid vaccine I understand there’s a benefit to getting it fast. But 5G? Nobody needs that urgently or even at all. Putting people potentially at risk for slightly better video streaming does not really show a good cost/benefit risk ratio to speed it past testing

Where did you read about 5g downsides? Something I haven’t researched much and sounds like I should
