5G May Be Increasing The Spread of Covid
Introduction
I enjoy following the bread crumbs from a hypothesis, such as the subject line, to see if they go someplace.
Early in the pandemic, I disregarded the idea that 5G, rather than the COVID-19 virus, was to blame as ridiculous! But I'm wondering whether there's a 5G influence on its proliferation. What if 5G is weakening people's immune systems, making them sicker? In other words, they could both be true; couldn't there be a virus with 5G influencing the course of the infection?
Following the Bread Crumbs
I looked for articles that claimed to have identified a link between the usage of 5G and an increase in COVID cases, and I found two.
References↑1Tsiang A, Havas M. (2021): COVID-19 Attributed Cases and Deaths are Statistically Higher in States and Counties with 5th Generation Millimeter Wave Wireless Telecommunications in the United States. Med Res Arch 2021;9:2371.
↑2Rubik, B., & Brown, R. R. (2021). Evidence for a connection between coronavirus disease-19 and exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless communications including 5G. Journal of clinical and translational research, 7(5), 666–681.
So what could possibily causing this effect? Doing a search the first place I went is here:
Independent Science on the Effect of Wireless Radiation on Human Health
”There are more than 1,000 scientific studies conducted by independent researchers from around the world concerning the biological effects of RF radiation. Here we present some of the most recent. “
That one has 1,000 references to all these studies. I followed one that caught my eye
Towards 5G communication systems: Are there health implications?
"RF-EMF promote oxidative stress, a condition involved in cancer onset, in several acute and chronic diseases and in vascular homeostasis. Although some evidences are still controversial, the WHO IARC classified RF-EMF as “possible carcinogenic to humans”, and more recent studies suggested reproductive, metabolic and neurologic effects of RF-EMF, which are also able to alter bacterial antibiotic resistance. "
So these waves can influence how the human body functions.
Then I found this site:
Clear Correlation between 5G and Covid
I have no idea if this a quality source. However, lets take a statement that can be easily verified using other sources:
“Increase in intracellular Calcium levels (facilitates virus penetration and multiplication)”
As we can see from another research paper, increasing calcium levels indeed promotes virus infection a:
Well this one is saying using calcium blockers have shown to inhibit various virus infections. So if reducing calcium levels inhibits infection then increasing them must promote viral infection.
So the question is does 5G increase calcium levels. Can we verify this? Apparently yes it does:
Cell damage is another byproduct of electromagnetic field exposure (EMF) from 5G. According to Dr. Martin Pall, who recently spoke at the 5G Crisis Summit, EMFs activate channels that allow extra calcium into cells. Increased intracellular calcium levels are related to cardiovascular disease, muscle disorders, as well as acute and chronic pain. They’re also linked to epilepsy, migraine, mood disorders, and certain types of cancer. (reference 7)
To be clear, I’m not suggesting anyone change their calcium levels (I’m not a doctor). It is possible that increase calcium levels could increase viral replication and decrease severity of the disease. This is because what is damaging organs is not the live virus but the body’s over immune response to the dead virus. One study showed (see reference 4)
Both mild/moderate and severe critical cases we observed showed low calcium level in the early stage of viral infection, while the severe/critical cases showed significant lower calcium level than mild/moderate cases in the early stage. We also found that low calcium level related to severe/critical multiorgan injuries especially in the mild/moderate population. Proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 also correlated to calcium change in both mild/moderate and severe/critical cases.
In following these bread crumbs I found claims that 5G can do all sorts of bad things, “including increasing wild fires”. Here is a page that contains a lot of these claims:
9 Facts About 5G You Need To Know
Interesting enough, the reason 5G is said to increase wild fires is it increases the trees intracellular calcium levels leading to higher turpentine production. This causes the trees to be more combustable. So it seems in both animals and plants, 5G increases intercellular calcium levels.
Is 5G the Sole Cause of The Pandemic?
I listened to Alex Jones with Dr. Lee Merritt:
It's worth listening to, and I believe she has a good heart, but she's inconsistent. On the one hand, she believes that the 5G rollout is solely to blame for the pandemic. She, on the other hand, is in favor of Ivermectin and other early treatment drugs. How can medicine help if 5G is solely to blame for the pandemic?
I can easily put a monkey wrench into her 5G sole cause argument. Isn't it true that Australia has widespread 5G and low COVID cases? How is this possible? You can respond, "Well, they have lockdowns." Lockdowns will not protect you against EMF! A more probable explanation would be that both are happening, or that there is simply a virus. Personally, I believe it is possible 5G is weakening people's immune systems and priming them for viral infection. Also possible, there is a COVID-19 virus spreading around the world. I'm a big fan of early therapy, like Ivermectin, so I believe in the end, Dr. Merrit and I agree on more than we disagree.
Update
I found a paper by ML. Pall today, It seems my theorey agrees with Dr. Pall. Although, my understanding of the science pales in comparison to his.
He writes:
The question that is being raised here is not whether 5G is responsible for the virus, but rather whether 5G radiation, acting via VGCC activation may be exacerbating the viral replication or the spread or lethality of the disease.
as well as:
Other aspects of viral replication including those involved in the spread of the virus are stimulated by increased intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i, oxidative stress, NF-kappaB elevation, inflammation and apoptosis, each of which are increased following EMF exposure.
So the increase cellular calcium caused by 5G may be only one factor influencing the spread of the virus. Also for an exhaustive discussion of whether 5G may be influencing the spread and severity of Covid, see reference 10.
