I don't understand why anyone would attempt to argue a conspiracy theory on here. Anyway, that guy is gone...

Have you been vaccinated yet? Because we are all doomed!

neb: Looks like the anti-5G crowd have found a way to protect themselves from it: via ionising radiation! Gamma rays are much better for you than that nasty 5G. And best of all you can get them locally.

The must have jewellery for your next anti-5G or next anti-vax protest match.

Indeed, we have blind provocation studies published in the peer-reviewed academic literature that are almost all negative. You could argue that the evidence is nearly unanimous. “So why doesn’t the media ever mention this data? Perhaps they deliberately and mischievously leave it out. Perhaps they never came across it, and are incompetent.” Or, maybe they’re just suckered in by the snake oil salesmen, the “aggressive and well coordinated lobbyists” selling all manner of “insulating paint…and insulating beekeeper hats for trips outdoors…” Not only do these hucksters conveniently fail to mention the dozens of studies proving them wrong, “they also viciously attack anyone who even dares to mention the data, accusing them of insensitivity, of attacking sufferers, and of denying the reality of their symptoms.”

I think it's more than peripherally related to 5G hysteria. I think it's part of the same mental illness.

The bullshit is strong Ad for electromagnetic field 'protection pyramid' deemed misleading, must be pulled | Stuff.co.nz

 

On the company’s website, Life Energy claimed it is “the most powerful EMF shielding device we now produce ... As the strongest EMF device on the market today, it offers a huge protective field of 36 meters, making it more than capable of dealing with Wi-Fi, 5G, electromagnetic field radiation, geopathic stress – or indeed, any unbalanced energy…”

 

The person behind the complaint, who is not named in the ASA decision, described the advert as “patent nonsense and at odds with the basic laws of physics”.

 

In its response, Life Energy said the advert never claimed that the pyramid could “block EMF”, and said the complainant was mistaken.

 

“Careful reading of the text will inform the reader that we do not claim to block EMF with this product. We use the words “dealing with,” their response to the body said.

 

They said their products were tested by consumers, and referred to their online consumer ratings as evidence of their product’s efficacy.

 

University of Auckland Professor of Physics Richard Easther said while the advertisement used plenty of words physicists used, they weren’t using them correctly.

 

“It's standard variety of junk science,” he said. “People take a word salad about electromagnetism and electromagnetic waves which are well understood and are things that have been well understood for years, and turn them into something that somehow mystically solves a variety of health ailments both real and imaginary.

 

“Even if the claims they were making about electromagnetic waves were true, there is no plausible method of action that a little aluminium pyramid with loops of wire inside it could have the effects they say it does.”

 

And from last year: Jami-Lee Ross behind anti-5G supplement business | Stuff.co.nz

 

Former high-ranking National MP Jami-Lee Ross is behind a company planning to sell a nutritional supplement claiming to protect users from electromagnetic radiation.

 

The supplement, called Praesidium, was developed by Dr Marco Ruggiero, an Italian microbiologist known for promoting pseudoscientific treatments. His other products include a probiotic yoghurt said to treat a range of conditions including autism and AIDS, and a pill purported to reverse ageing and “extend life to unimagined lengths”.

 

It is part of a growing industry of pseudoscientific medical treatments that have flourished in New Zealand amid the rise of online misinformation and conspiracy theories.

When did you write this complaint and how long did it take for them to act on it, MF?
