On one side you have people that think 5g causes cancer. On the other, you have people directly beaming shit into their skulls to open their cars from a couple extra feet away.

To be fair, radio waves have been everywhere for over a hundred years now. Plus, it's just low-frequency light. It's no different (probably safer even) than shining a flashlight at your head.

Supposing we could somehow bring the light into the body?! Or maybe we could inject them with disinfectant! We better look into that.

i dont believe it causes cancer necessarily, but i think 5g is worrying for the sake of big increase in location tracking precision
