5G - We’ve heard the conspiracy theories around its connection to the Coronavirus, but are the health risks real?

The coronavirus pandemic has sent 5G fear into overdrive, with several conspiracy theories emerging. So we put all the big questions to Professor Rodney Croft from the Australian Centre for Electromagnetic Bio Effects research at the University of Wollongong.

In today's news headlines:

  • Qantas unveils “Fly Well” program: face masks but no spare seats
  • China labels Australia’s inquiry vindication claims as “nothing but a joke”
  • Masterchef contestant charged with sexual assault
  • Aussie music festival FOMO goes into liquidation

In today's Briefing we ask: At the heart of the 5G debate is the concern that radio waves are harmful to our health - is that true? At what levels are radio waves harmful? How much research has been done on the harms of 5G itself? We know that people around the world have been setting 5G towers on fire - do the towers pose a greater risk? Can 5G radio waves can harm your immune system making you more vulnerable to Covid-19? Can radio waves spread Covid-19? What research is often used to justify conspiracy theories?
