5G network has been considered as the new standard of a developed nation. This has caused various governments to push forward with the adoption of the newer and faster bandwidth. The UK is one of them, but unfortunately, it seems it has its own fair share of detractors as well.

Conspiracy Theorists believe that 5G network helps in spreading the COVID-19

Despite the numerous scientifically backed evidence from researchers and industry experts, many still claim that the 5G network is harmful to human beings. Rather, some arguments even claim that it kills the birds and the bees, with images supporting such claims as well. However, these have yet to be proven to be factually correct. A general conspiracy would’ve been harmless, but its a cause for alarm as certain 5G cell towers are now being burned by such conspiracy theorists.

According to reports, the conspiracy theorists behind the vandalism incidents are now claiming that the Coronavirus outbreak is being further spread by the new 5G networking waves. Needless to say, these are just baseless claims and are only citing more panic amidst the global pandemic. Notably, cell towers are being burnt while the engineers working on them have been abused by such believers.

Just a while back, a 70 foot (20 meter) cellular tower was lit on fire in Birmingham, UK. This incident was recorded and was also spread like wild fire on various social media platforms, such as Facebook, to incite other anti-5G groups as well. Facebook has since removed these videos, due to advocacy of violence, and has also other platforms to take similar measures.
