I don't believe that 5G is dangerous to our health, but this is interesting in another way:- The Dogfight Over Airports and AirwavesIf you had to guess the No. 1 worry for airline execs right now, what would you say? Omicron lowering holiday travel demand? Rude passengers refusing to mask up?The answer, in fact, is not at all related to Covid: What the industry is most concerned about, Southwest CEO Gary Kelly told senators last week, is the arrival of a new 5G wireless service from AT&T and Verizon on Jan. 5. The aviation sector has been arguing that this launch will interfere with key cockpit systems and lead to major disruptions for travelers in the new year.United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said that the 5G rollout could delay, divert, or cancel ~4% of daily flights.The trade group Airlines for America projected 5G-related delays will cost passengers $1.6 billion annually.Why can't 5G and cockpits get along?Airline execs say 5G signals, which operate in a range of radio frequencies called the C-band, could mess with the cockpit systems that are used to track a plane's altitude and help with landings in bad weather. So, in a situation where those systems are interfered with and dense fog rolls into Chicago, landings at O'Hare might be deemed unsafe, which would then wreak scheduling havoc across the country.In response to these concerns, telecom leaders are playing the world's smallest violin. Wireless companies paid at least $81 billion for the rights to this C-band, and they're not going to let airline execs ruin their much-hyped push into next-gen wireless networks...especially when they consider those concerns unfounded."The aviation industry's fearmongering relies on completely discredited information and deliberate distortions of fact," Nick Ludlum, senior vice president at wireless trade group CTIA, said.Looking ahead...telecom and aviation leaders are locked in high-stakes negotiations with the White House and regulators over a deal that would dim 5G signal power near airports. In the meantime, airlines are warily prepping for flight restrictions.—NFSOURCE:  www.morningbrew.com

thanks for your reply , the xdanger of 5G is that it affects the skin and nerve ending , this is why it can be used in military active denial systems, the 5G infrastructure can also be used in future to facilitate 6G 7G etc etc , there is no need for it, it cannot be funded without massive public subsidy, its ugly as hell , i recall seeing a video at a US hearing were they ADMITTED that they had not actually looked for any evidence of harm , some poeple seem to have a sexual fetish for technology and clamour for anything described as new , smart meters, apps, heat pumps , electric cars , sex robots , no doubt Gordon and Brookes would love them , the fact remains that the public DO NOT WANT them and that in a democracy should be enough , there is no benefit that I can see in 5G , i do not want driverless cars as I LIKE DRIVING unfortunately the true purpose of 5G is to usher in the Grest rest and the 4th Industrial revolution that is promoted by the World Economic Forum, UN, EU etc again i reject the argument that i must stop using my phone if I object to 5G , its like temperature at 40C a hot shower is enjjoyable but at 50C you will get scalded we all accept and enjoy some benefits from modern technology, i get a chance to challenge the complacent online but that is not CARTE BLANCHE to usher in unproven, untested and unnecessary tech that offers no genuine benefits and will result in millions of unsightly towers looking over our once beautiful but now degraded landscape no genuine patriot would ever support this programme and I think both Southwell and Brookes flag themselves up by their blind faith in what is in fact Scientism

If you are basing your opposition to 5G on the notion that Lloyds won't insure against it you are misinformed. A report was issued some time ago by them that advised against blanket coverage for illness caused by electromagnetic fields (EMFs) which includes all radio signals, wi-fi and mobile phone signals. This observed that although there is currently no evidence that EMFs cause health problems there remained a risk that longer term they might emerge. Therefore underwriters were advised not to accept policies with these clauses. This is because the extra revenue gained would be tiny but the potential payouts would be huge — it was a commercial not a medical decision. No medical evidence has emerged yet to prove any damage and at this stage we can safely say that if it does, it will show that it is minimal and only becomes apparent in the very long term. If you believe the risk is material you should not own a mobile phone or any device dependent on wireless internet. The report does not mention 5G and as EMFs go it is one of the least potentially threatening. Because of the frequency it operates at the signals emitted are less powerful which is why these massive masts have proliferated. The reason 5G has become controversial is the visibility of these masts which has made the ill-informed more aware of the amount of EMFs they are exposed to daily. Ironically it is the type of field that is least likely to cause harm which is causing the most controversy probably due to the conspiracy theorists on Facebook. Previous experience has taught me that it is impossible to persuade anyone who is fixated on imagined dangers of 5G that the evidence is overwhelmingly against them and serious consequences of EMFs would have emerged by now. Any logical person would have long concluded that the unanimity of medical opinion on this across the world is a good indication that this technology is safe. I'm not going to engage further in debate on this matter with anyone who doesn't agree with these facts because they are not going to be persuaded to change their mind. The sad thing about the misinformation about 5G is that it makes people reluctant to object to masts that are being place intrusively across the country for fear of being seen a tin-foil hat wearing techophobe. The risk of 5G is that is makes where we live more ugly rather than it makes us sicker.
