Leading scientist reveals truth about 5G: 'Fear and paranoia come from ignorance' '5G can transmit computer viruses, but it cannot transmit human or animal viruses. This is simply not scientifically possible ' By: Matija BoltižarPosted: September 18, 2020 10:31 am 8767885 Bozidar Vukicevic / Cropix Facebook Twitter Messenger E-mail The fifth generation of mobile telecommunications technologies, which is also expected in Croatia, will upgrade the existing 4G network and significantly improve data transmission. With faster internet, in the mature phase up to 10 times, 5G promises much, much more. Some estimate that 5G will have as great an impact on the development of economies, society and increase the quality of life as they had the discovery of electricity or the first car. Many studies confirm this. The McKinsey Global Institute conducted research to test how connectivity via the 5G network will affect traffic, healthcare, manufacturing and retail: they found that in these four industries alone, global GDP could jump from $ 1.2 trillion to $ 2 trillion by 2030. The European Commission warned of the importance of digital technologies at the time of the coronavirus pandemic, noting that a large number of jobs could not take place without their presence (DESI, 2020). The EC said that 5G technology will be a very important factor in the recovery of national economies after the corona crisis. This is especially important for Croatia, which ranks only twentieth in the EU in terms of digital competitiveness. Some countries like Japan, South Korea and China are even offering companies the option of tax exemptions in exchange for introducing critical network infrastructure to support 5G operations. The World Health Organization (WHO) points out on its website that no link has been found between exposure to wireless technologies and impaired health, but despite all this, some are unnecessarily spreading fears about the introduction of the 5G network. What are conspiracy theories based on? How to get accurate and relevant information? Who is right in all this? We talked about that with What are conspiracy theories based on? How to get accurate and relevant information? Who is right in all this? We talked about that with What are conspiracy theories based on? How to get accurate and relevant information? Who is right in all this? We talked about that withIvica Puljak , one of the leading Croatian scientists, a full professor of physics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in Split, who studied at the prestigious Sorbonne University. • What relevant research has been done so far on 5G technology and health and what have they shown? - So far, a lot of research has been done on the impact of 5G technology on health, but research continues, expands, includes various scientific disciplines, becomes better and more relevant, because this technology is increasingly being used. This is good news, because the impact of 5G, as well as all other relevant technologies on our health, still needs to be investigated. As one would say - caution is never enough. Given the large number and diversity of scientific studies, both 5G and similar technologies, the results of the studies could be divided into two groups: one that did not find any effects harmful to health, and the other, which observed some effects but is not clear whether they can connect to 5G technology or have other causes. At the same time, 5G technology is actually a natural continuation of 2G, 3G and 4G technology, image Bozidar Vukicevic / Cropix • If 5G technology is safe, why are many afraid of it? Is the problem in ignorance or in misinterpretations of previously conducted research? - The biggest problem is probably in the fact that we are beings into whom evolution has built an algorithm that has kept us from many problems over millions of years of our common past. This algorithm, also called "feeling", is - fear. We are the descendants of those human individuals during evolution, who feared various things, beings or phenomena and fled from them, and thus preserved themselves. That is why we are afraid of practically everything. And that is completely normal. But not all fears are justified, and we especially don't need them in modern times. For example, our sense of fear of snakes and spiders is largely unnecessary in modern times because there are no more snakes or lots of spiders around us. And we are still afraid of them. That is why it is easiest to scare people, talking about dangers, fears, diseases, death. To be less afraid, we just need to know more. So I urge everyone to learn more about radiation, technology in general and 5G technology and they will certainly be less afraid. • What exactly is 5G and what benefits does it bring us? In which industries can it be applied to make people's lives easier and improve their quality of life? - Like the previous ones, 5G as a new technology can bring a lot of good to us individually and to the whole society. Using modern technology, we are safer, freer, more literate, healthier and happier people today, and there is less hunger, poverty and violence in the entire global society than ever before in the history of the world. 5G technology will be used in almost all spheres of our lives - in transport, medicine, education, food production and consumption, security, entertainment. If we use it properly, or I repeat, if we know more and fear less, there is a high probability that we will use 5G technology to improve the quality of life of us personally, as well as society as a whole. • What is more harmful to coffee or 5G network? Namely, the World Health Organization classifies mobile technologies in category 2B of hazardous substances, while coffee, like red meat, is in category 2A, which is more harmful than 2B. - Someone once said ‘life is a deadly phenomenon’ because it ends in death. Every day, every move in life is a balance between good and bad effects. For example, I know that it is not good to eat cakes, but I still eat some here and there. Sometimes I overdo it, even though I know it’s not good. But what can I do, I'm weak. The World Health Organization has, I suppose out of caution, which I justify, put mobile technologies on the list of potentially dangerous substances, but as you have noticed, less dangerous than coffee or red meat, which are not harmful in moderation but can be harmful if overdone. This is a good place for readers to think about their choices through life and again we all remind ourselves that in everything we should be moderate and carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of all our choices, even the smallest ones. • Is 5G or TV harmful? Namely, in one of your videos you mentioned how the magnetic waves of the TV emit more, ie they are at higher frequencies than 5G? - If we use them properly, they will probably bring more benefits than harm. Which is the same with all other decisions in life, from the smallest to the largest. This comment of mine from your question was aimed at the slightly older generation, who remember the old TVs, which radiated more than today’s phones, but even those radiation levels were very small and harmless.

Our body has become accustomed to the levels of light radiation around us during evolution, and these new radiations from various technological devices are truly new to us and their impact in various health situations needs to be explored. But we should not be unreasonably afraid of it, nor should we panic, but we should learn, build institutions, support science and be responsible. • What is the health impact of the 5G network compared to hospital X-rays? - X-rays are certainly more harmful than 5G. But when we go to the hospital for an examination, then, consciously or unconsciously, and I hope this first, we accept the risk of radiation, due to the fact that the good effect of X-rays, which will improve our health, will still prevail. That's why we also use the microwave, telephone, television, computer, game consoles, smart watches and all the other wonders of modern technology - because we think it will bring us more good than bad. It is our choice because we are increasingly free people who choose what to use in life. And for this ever-increasing choice and ever-increasing freedom, technology, or, more broadly, science and knowledge, is again largely responsible. • Do viruses spread through the 5G network, as some conspiracy theorists claim? - No, viruses do not spread through the 5G network, nor is it scientifically possible. Conspiracy theorists have played too much here. Much like with a flat Earth, people lizards or similar nonsense. 5G can transmit computer viruses, but it cannot transmit human or animal viruses. • Can I start radiating? - You're already radiating. And that's enough. So much so that when someone tells you ‘somehow you’re just radiating to me today’ he’s absolutely right. You radiate not some mysterious energy, but electromagnetic waves, because your body is warmed to about 37 degrees Celsius. Radiate all possible waves, from radio and microwaves, to visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. But still, you radiate the most in the area of ​​infrared light and that is why we see ourselves in the dark when someone is looking at us with an infrared camera. Some people try to take advantage of this phenomenon, so they read your aura, but don't believe them, it's just the most common electromagnetic radiation, similar to a microwave, your favorite radio station or 3G / 4G / 5G phones. • Ultimately, is 5G technology more harmful than previous mobile technologies? - Previous technologies have not shown harmful effects on health. This by no means means that research should be stopped. But because of the potential benefits that 5G technology can bring to us individuals and society as a whole, through improving health care, increasing literacy, security, human freedoms, expanding democracy, and reducing poverty, hunger and violence, we must not stop the development of such unjustified fears or paranoia. technologies. That is why education, knowledge and science are very important, which, as before, we need to develop, protect and use for our benefit.
