There seems to be a couple of hoaxes about the link to 5G & COVID-19 doing the rounds. The first being that 5G causes &/or spreads the virus, and another I saw on FB somewhere (but now can't find) about 5G being developed to use as military grade torture to control people as part of some "new world order" (whatever that is when it's at home). The theory is that the virus was created years ago by either the US or China, can't remember which now, & has been unleashed so that 5G infrastructure can be installed and made ready to use for nefarious purposes while everyone is in lockdown and therefore none the wiser. The next step is is a vaccine for COVID-19 that contains some sort of ID chip that will transmit via 5G. I think that's how the theory went. It was BIZARRE anyway, but even more terrifying was the comments to the post! People are actually buying into it this stuff!!! Boggles the mind.....

I had to unfriend my friend on Facebook after he quoted the virus vaccine containing a chip thing...he's a really well educated man and I thought better of him, but sadly I just can't take it any more.

I don't know if we have much in the the way of anti-terrorism laws. But, attacking essential infrastructure such as communication arrays should be viewed as a terrorist act with significant time in prison for anyone found guilty.

I wouldn't be surprised that after a covid-19 vaccine becomes available that antivaxxers will claim the government created covid-19 so we can inject people with mind control nanobots.

The chip thing stems from mr gates (apparently). Ain't going looking for it, but apparently Some older ted talk taken a bit literal and mashed in with the current climate

This behaviour reminds me of the mindless vandalism during the 1980's Springbok Tour!

(Several BCNZ- as it was then and Post Office telecommunication sites were vandalised, along with other property.)

It was both. The US nutters claim it was created at the Wuhan BSL-4 lab and, since that's a collaboration with a DoD-funded BSL-4 lab in Texas, the Chinese nutters claim it was created by the US DoD.

So there's your answer.

Scientists warn 5G may cause people to believe stupid conspiracy theories .

I thought all the conspiracy theorists were obviously people who had been 'probed' by aliens. Maybe the aliens nanobots weren't so nano after all.

I particularly liked these bits

The phenomenon disproportionally affects heavy Facebook users, suburban divorcees, celebrity chefs, and ex-Hollywood stars

and

Secondary effects include spewing bullsh*t over social media and can progress to alienating all your family members and being uninvited from Christmas again

The content of post it self doesn't disappoint me, but the fact it had to be written does.

Some interesting comments on that thread.

Martin Fitzpatrick (CIIC) out of network 3rd+Senior Internal Communications Manager at BT

It's literally the same frequency sets that were used for analogue TVs since they first arrived in the home, which is a much compelling argument for non-technical people than terms like non-ionising radiation.

Ivan Hlavanda out of network 3rd+Principal Consultant for Customer Value management & Innovation

This is failure of educational system in first place. Proper curriculum on the Physics of EM spectrum it's possible impact on sub-visible lengths might prevent this. Just wondering why people are not destroying their WI-FI home devices using similar frequencies....

Followed immediately by this comment.

Vitaly L. out of network 3rd+Senior Software Engineer at ARRIVAL

A lot of people (over 5 million in the UK by some estimates) are functionally illiterate. They could not learn how to read and write, despite all the effort of the education system. Adding anything else to the curriculum would not make any difference, if even reading and writing is already above their capacity.

I like this which was in one of the linked articles. Where can I get a few of these to wear? I need to add a new line to my favourite t-shirt now...

Most importantly, the comments.
