I despair at how many imbeciles we have on our planet. I don't expect you to watch it, I post the link because I'm watching it now. The premise is simple 5G causes COVID! Perhaps one of those geniuses can explain how electromagnetic radiation can create a virus! PMSL!

If aliens are so intelligent, why do they always abduct idiots?

[Mozz71]

See Melv, you're wrong. Gully's still here.

This is surely old news.

I think the claim is the the digital info electromagnetic waves affect your immune system, or something like that. Some have been scared of mobile comms since it first arrived. Seems every generation of it has been hit with daft claims.

[woofgang]

wasn't there a thing about mobile phones causing brain tumours?

[johnny.5]

and not to mention the pilons or are they ok now ?

[gulliver1]

Blooming heck Mozz , you still here, I thought you had been abducted before Winston ,as a prototype.

[ducksie]

This was news back in March and April when people were wrecking pylons, old news now surely

[Mozz71]

Sorry Gully, they read your posts and decided there wasn't intelligent life down here.

[gulliver1]

So you are Winstons new lap dog are you Mozz . Congratulations.

I dont - just count how many imbeciles we have on our very own AB.

as a conspiracy theory it sort of measures up innit?

// wasn't there a thing about mobile phones causing brain tumours?//

there wasnt of course but very difficult to dissociate the location of towers and a local case of brain tumour

NOT local caseS, as that would be a cluster - you can get a cluster by imaginative area drawing but not if done sort of normally

took about ten years to refure with very many calls of 'cant we spend the money any better?' - yes of course we cd ve but didnt

[Mozz71]

Good grief, I disagree with Tora almost as much as I disagree with you Gully.

Maybe I'm just argumentative :-D

The prob I have with 5G is that no one can opt out. If someone is of the ilk that they are concerned about it they cannot avoid it.... Cos it’s everywhere.

[ToraToraTora]

It's only radio waves, electromagnetic radiation, same as Radio, TV and all the other "g"s. The physics is equivalent yet why is 5g a worry? Not 4g? Anyone with rudimentary physics under their belt should be clear on that.

14:49 hit the nail on the head right there.
