It’s at kind of a similar wavelength as the active denial system non-lethal weapon developed by Raytheon for crowd control so people think it’s some sort of secret weapon. Otherwise these concerns boil down to not understanding how things actually work, neophobia, technophobia, and a desire to feel like one has control over the environment. These are also the sorts of feelings that predispose folks to believe in conspiracy theories.

One thing that I've observed in the general public is conflation of a word and the thing that it's describing. The word is not the thing, but some people are unable to disentangle the two in their minds. Radiation is a spectacular example of this. Your headlights radiate. Your heater radiates. Your lightbulbs radiate. The sun radiates. Nuclear waste radiates. Rocks radiate. You are constantly, inescapably, and necessarily bathed in radiation. You would literally die without radiation. Unfortunately, "radiation" has gained a negative connotation, like the number 13 in some cultures, because of government propaganda in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s about a possible nuclear war. People who've never heard the word before in their lives suddenly heard it on the radio and the television, over and over, and it was always associated with fear. The looming shadow of a third world war. It wasn't always this way. People used to drink radioactive tonics in the early 1900s for their health! They thought it gave them energy! Sure, it was dangerous quackery , but people didn't fear it in the way they do now. Back then it was like the word "Quantum". But now, anything with the words "nuclear" or "radiation" in it is "bad". Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI) had to drop the "Nuclear" because people were terrified of it, even though it works with magnets, not radioactive materials. Similarly, you're taking a risk using the term "Radiofrequency Radiation" in relation to cellphone towers because then local soccer moms start petitions. Fundamentally, the biggest danger of 3G/4G/5G mobile phone technology is the increase in collisions by drivers distracted while texting. This is a scientifically measurable effect that results in injury and death. The radio waves themselves? They're harmless. More on reddit.com

So great question OP. Let's start with the dangers. Individuals worry about 5g because 5g radio waves have a higher frequency than 4g radio waves. Radio waves exist on the electromagnetic spectrum much like x rays, microwaves, visible light, UV rays, and gamma rays. The most dangerous of the electromagnetic spectrum is gamma ray radiation, which has a much lower wave length and a much higher frequency. These aspects allow these dangerous waves to ionize atoms (ionizing radiation) and break DNA. This leads some to be fearful of our usage of radio waves. Radio waves have been considered partially carcinogenic and a past study done showed that exceedingly high exposure to 2g and 3g waves increased the risk of developing heart tumors. So the connection some are making is that 5g radio waves are smaller and have a higher frequency so they must be more dangerous than the waves we already utilize and likely would cause users to be at an even higher risk of developing cancer with even normal exposure. The earlier paragraph explains a reasonable reason to be concerned. This next segment will describe the unreasonable concerns. The link to 5g and Corona virus are a conspiracy theory. A French blog post hypothesized that the two were connected because Wuhan was supposedly setting up 5g towers only weeks before the initial outbreak. Let us all remember those 4 words that our psychology teachers drilled into our heads. Correlation is not causation. I will leave it at that. Now the other side feels that there is really no need to be concerned at all. This is because radio waves similar to those being used for 5g have already been used for tv broadcasting. Years of using these waves has seemed to have no known hazardous effect on human health. Other everyday items are also branded as potentially carcinogenic like coffee, and society isn't going to stop producing and consuming coffee anytime soon. Cancer is a complicated condition. Yes, it can be caused by dna damage that results in the silencing of tumor suppressor genes and the activation of oncogenes, but these radio waves are unlikely to cause cancer in this manner. Radio waves are nonionic radiation, so they may cause atoms to vibrate, But they can't ionize atoms and thus are unlikely to cause any DNA damage. Yes these waves are closer to gamma waves on the electromagnetic spectrum than 4g waves, but they are no where near known hazardous frequencies. visible light waves have a higher frequency than these radio waves and typical exposure to them elicits no known hazardous effects. Essentially years of research has resulted in findings that these waves are relatively harmless. The issue that some raise (which is valid) is that perhaps we just have yet to find a hazardous link. In the same vein we have yet to find a hazardous link to coffee consumption within normal means. Does that mean we should stop using both 5g and coffee altogether? It's up to you, the reader to decide. TL:DR 5g waves have a higher frequency than 4g. 4g waves are already considered potentially carcinogenic. Could the higher frequency lead to higher risks since extremely high frequency waves cause DNA damage? Waves used for 5g have been used for decades with no known hazardous effects. Coffee is also potentially carcinogenic. No current research suggests that normal exposure to 5g is hazardous to one's health. Frequency larger than before, but still small overall.

The sex is so much better. The confidence. The respect. Everything changes. EDIT: Just trying to get as many people on 5G as possible. This way, my 4G LTE bands become less congested! I see this as an absolute win. More on reddit.com
