Residents in the suburban Los Angeles community of Lakewood say they are \u201chorrified\u201d by the thought of 5G network tower installations. At a community meeting, residents spoke out about 5G health concerns<\/a>, saying that 5G is not proven safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m horrified, to be honest with you,\u201d Lakewood resident Christina Rich said via CBSLA<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t want a cell tower anywhere near our house. They don\u2019t belong in the neighborhoods. They haven\u2019t been proven to be safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christina was far from alone in her concern over the controversial 5G network.<\/p>\n

Dafna Tachover told Prepforthat.com that the evidence is clear, 5G is harmful to health.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no doubt that any cell tower including \u201csmall cells\u201d for 5G infrastructure are harmful. The scientific evidence and the human evidence are clear. Putting microwave frequencies transmitting and radiating antennas near people\u2019s homes and in schools is literally a crime. It is child endangerment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Monica Draghichi, another concerned parent, said she\u2019s worried that about the density of the towers around schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m concerned about the distance to my kids, to the schools in our community and the overall effects and lack of regulation around it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Lakewood isn\u2019t the first California community to be up in arms over 5G technology. In fact, parents at a Ripon, California elementary school forced Sprint to remove a single 5G tower<\/a> they claimed was causing an uptick in childhood cancer. Sprint\u2019s concession to remove the tower served as one of the larger victories over 5G in the United States. In Rhode Island, telecommunication companies are installing 5G towers<\/a> without public consent.<\/p>\n

Yahoo! News wrote a scathing piece calling out those in opposition of 5G \u201cAnti-5G activists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no real evidence to warrant any concern that 5G could adversely affect your health.\u201d Nick Whigham writes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the anti-5G protestors are doing is misrepresenting the science. They\u2019re talking complete mistruths.\u201d Australian scientist Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki told Yahoo!.<\/p>\n

By classifying concerned parents as conspiracy theorists, mainstream media outlets are able to apply pressure to those in opposition or those simply concerned.<\/p>\n

Global leaders around the world are pushing 5G because they believe it will give them a technological leg up. Some believe that Russia is putting out \u201cfake news\u201d regarding 5G health risks<\/a> as a way to slow down network installations in the United States. This includes Yahoo! News who cites the conspiracy towards the end of their article.<\/p>\n
