In Episode 14, we put myths about 5G technology under the microscope.
The radio waves that power 5G are on the lower end of the radiation spectrum. They are in a category known as non-ionising radiation.
This type of radiation can heat objects (like a microwave), but there is no evidence it causes cancer like ionising radiation (such as gamma rays or x-rays).
Claims that 5G somehow causes or spreads Covid-19 have been widely debunked by fact-checkers and many credible sources such as the World Health Organization.
Scientists have said the idea of a connection between Covid-19 and 5G is “complete rubbish” and biologically impossible.
