    I used to work for a gas company and they put little transmitters in the meters so we can get the readings remotely or get close and read them. There are literal lawsuits against the company saying “the 5g makes me sick and affects my thinking.” Like dozens of lawsuits and 1000’s of complaints. It’s funny, people sometimes have these transmitters for forever but won’t actually complain about anything until they find out. Sometimes they get told they are gone but they actually aren’t and then suddenly are all ok again.

      I remember someone joking the proper way to install a cell tower was to put it up, put out a press release, and then turn it on a month later just to weed out all the crazies in the complaints

      I can have cancer, termites, or a subscription I didn’t expect and I won’t complain until I found out. You tell me they’re gone and I’d be ok again too.
