doing your own research is the way to fix it,

Ah yes, the classic Im jUsT aSKiNg qUEsTi0nS dogwhistle.

Googling and reading is not "doing research." Research is hard, strictly methodical work and conducting tightly scoped experiments, not obsessing over conspiracy influencers to reinforce your own confirmation bias.

That's what got us into this mess of idiots destroying cell towers (because they were causing COVID... somehow?) and groups standing around a boulevard in Texas totally convinced that JFK would be rounding the corner any minute now.

Man, that was really hard to read with a screen reader with all the random capitals. You have to read differing viewpoints and come up with your own conclusions.

Also, for the record, 5G does not cause cancer and is not a method to mind control humans or cook us. The new mmWave frequencies are seriously attenuated by just rain and totally blocked by skin. Plus RF power falls off with the square of distance. Standing a normal distance from a cell tower the sun is more harmful.
