Mast Vandalized In UK Over 5G Coronavirus Claims by SadiqBabaSani: 6:27pm On Apr 04, 2020 |
Mobile phone masts have been torched amid theories linking coronavirus to 5G, despite ministers saying there is no credible evidence to back them. Masts were set alight in Sparkhill, Birmingham, on Thursday and Melling, Merseyside, on Friday. Trade body Mobile UK said false rumours and theories linking 5G and coronavirus were "concerning". The government said "there is absolutely no credible evidence of a link" between the two. Posting on Twitter, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport added it was "aware of inaccurate information being shared online about 5G". In Melling, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said it extinguished a 5G mast tower fire near the M57 motorway. There was damage to the mast and control panels, a spokesman said. West Midlands Fire Service said the fire in Birmingham involved a 70ft tower on a telecommunications site. However, the service said the cause was yet to be identified and could not confirm the mast was 5G. A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "We're aware of a fire involving a phone mast, but are awaiting further details on its cause." On Friday, Facebook removed a page which showed several videos claiming to show 5G towers on fire and encouraged others to do the same. In addition to warning on the theories about the safety of 5G technologies, Mobile UK added: "More worryingly some people are also abusing our key workers and making threats to damage infrastructure under the pretence of claims about 5G. "This is not acceptable and only impacts on our ability as an industry to maintain the resilience and operational capacity of the networks to support mass home working and critical connectivity to the emergency services, vulnerable consumers and hospitals." Analysis By Leo Kelion, BBC technology desk editor Conspiracy theories linking 5G signals to the coronavirus pandemic continue to spread despite there being no evidence the mobile phone signals pose a health risk. Fact-checking charity Full Fact has linked the claims to two flawed theories. One suggests 5G suppresses the immune system, the other claims the virus is somehow using the network's radio waves to communicate and pick victims, accelerating its spread. While 5G uses different radio frequencies to its predecessors, it's important to recognise that the waveband involved is still "non-ionising", meaning it lacks enough energy to break apart the DNA in our cells to cause damage https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-52164358 9 Likes 3 Shares

This story just goes to show that illiterate buffoons live in all countries making up this glorious planet. While most human beings are distinguishable from chimpanzees, baboons and other primates, by virtue of walking in bipedal mode, wearing clothes and using spoken language to communicate, there does exist a vast underclass of mentally challenged, highly unstable cretins who will always choose the most idiotic course of action regardless of circumstance. The good folks destroying telephone transmission antennae because of random rumors they happened to read online, would under normal circumstances be lined up at the unemployment office waiting patiently for state benefits, before returning to watch football on television in their cramped little dwellings on the rough side of town. Now, with an invisible contagion felling people left and right all over Europe, every crackpot conspiracy theorist in the world is convinced that the time for their most outrageous displays of stark raving lunacy, is at hand. Expect more of this mob madness to ensue in the coming weeks. They started out attacking telephone antennae, so it stands to reason that they will soon enough vent their rage against traffic lights, fire-hydrants, CCTV cameras, mailboxes, public restrooms and other randomly selected targets of opportunity. 174 Likes 22 Shares |

Western media has made everything non_western evil. We
need to sit down and look at it logically.
Nigeria has been struggling to fight BH for decade, US has
never shown any genuine support, infact, at a time they're
were technically supporting BH by blocking every opportunity
to access weapons. Whereas, the same US has been
building sophisticated millitary bases all over Africa with
several billions of dollars even all over islands in Africa. In a
continent struggling to provide as basic thing as clean water,
road, edu, etc. In term of infrastructural development, US
hasnt built anything tangible anywhere in Africa despite her
big economy and influence.
On the other hand, China is building projects across Africa
from electricity to train to Airport, roads, scholarships to
Africans, etc even with their own money. Let's say we can't
pay and they take over them, who would still be using those
infrastructure, Chinese? At least they brought them here, so
if we can't pay back and they take over them these things
would still be in use by Africans and improve quality of life,
just like every private business.
US/Trump that everyone is supporting call Africans all kinds
to unprintable names, visa ban, reporting weak sides of
African nations and continuously ridiculing everything we do.
The list is long. China hasnt done any of these yet, western
media still find their ways into the hearts of Africans to hate
Chinese. Sadly, enough some fake pastors joined this
brainwashed citizens.
Look at China, how many times have they tumbled African
govt? How many nations have China invaded in Africa? How
many times has Chinese embassy criticize our local affairs?
Etc
New York started have underground train in 1809, that's
200yrs, they never extended such to Africa. China started
booming just 20yrs ago and they've extended everything
technology they have to us, that have improved our lives;
From phones, train, Good Airport, Naval ship, Telecom,
Roads, scholarships, etc
Africans must sitdown and think. China is not your enemy. 117 Likes 10 Shares |

Conspiracy theories, doomsday prophets, and endtime loonies have largely been shun as the crackpot that they are. Until they were embraced by right-wing politicians because of Geopolitical struggles against China. Now that the mantra of "3G good, 5G bad" coincides with the isolationist western agenda, it is now going mainstream. I expect the conspiracy nutters to double down as they for once in their life were able to gain control of a large number of illiterates. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Jakumo: Only on nairaland will an illiterate become a genius. Have you try to read and listen to men that matters talk about this 5G and radiation? Has anyone on earth denies the danger 5G causes to human cells? Do you know all symptoms of this 5G radiation equals symptoms of Coronavirus? Do you know that the vaccine being made for Coronavirus will come with ID2020 (this will confirm you've been vaccinated against convid-19) without which you can't work or be part of the digital economy coming up soon? This has been said by Bill Gates himself. We should all stop proving right always. If 5G causes death in human and endanger human cells, it must be destroyed 90 Likes 6 Shares |
