Paper blaming COVID-19 on 5G technology withdrawn:

A paper which argued that 5G cellphone technology could lead to infection with the novel coronavirus has been retracted, but not before scientific sleuth Elisabeth Bik wondered whether it was the "worst paper of 2020."

The article, "5G Technology and induction of coronavirus in skin cells," came from a group from Italy, the United States and Russia, and appeared in theJournal of Biological Regulators and Homeostatic Agents. The journal is published by Biolife, which asserts that it's peer reviewed but has not responded to a request for comment.

The abstract is now marked "WITHDRAWN" on PubMed and the paper has disappeared from the journal's website. The abstract has been preserved here.

    5g Is NOT like 1234g. It can direct rays. If you don't work out the implications, Trump admin has and started boycotting Huawei. You are smarter than Trump so if he got it you should too.

    When half knowledge meets paranoia...

    5g offers direct mode, which essentially means that 5g devices can (potentially, depending on availability, ability and legal constraints) communicate directly with each other without the need for a communication tower.

    The implications are mostly that it is at least potentially possible to communicate without a cell provider intercepting, manipulating, eavesdropping or disabling communication.

      And yes, I could see why a government would be interested in disallowing that. Direct mode essentially means that you can't shut down your subjects' communication by turning off the cell towers in the area.

      I was referring to mMIMO, direct mode is at a different layer and irrelevant.

        OK, and what's your problem there? Essentially what happens here is that the EM field is being shaped to avoid interferences. It's not exactly a new thing either, it could have been done with LTE as well (and it likely will be done if upgrades to 5g are not going to happen because the frequency spectrum isn't required or available).

        Lemme guess, you think that "direct mode" and "beamforming" somehow mean that someone is using a focused millimeter wave beam on you, right? Good lord, words don't have powers, they only describe something in a way that people who use the same words know what's being discussed...

          If you

          a. think multiple towers could not be used in ways out of spec to create constructive interference on specific locations for technical reasons, you are an idiot

          b. think this would not be used to harm people based upon their political or ethnic faction, you are an idiot

          If, however, you are not an idiot, and I do not think you are based upon the complexity and intricacy of your evasions of the issue,

          you are a shill.

            What kind of fucked up country do you live in that you honestly believe that this could possibly be legal and would not be persecuted by law?

            If you honestly have to believe that, you have bigger problems in your country than Covid and G5 could ever possibly be.

              FYI the soviet republic of Italy, yesterday, prolonged the emergency state for... reasons (basically COVID is weak here, unofficially they fear the social unrest in a few months caused by the lockdown which is impossible to locate in covid infection graphs, you try).

              This is not a procedure detailed in the constitution. Especially when the government justifies his decisions with task-forces of people in blatant conflict of interest which are sooo sure of their competence that they are already outside Italy, remote conferencing from London.

              A technocratic government ready for the time unrest

                The soviet republic of Italy... could you please first take a look at WHO rules Italy before you spout nonsense? Their current government is headed by the Five Star Movement [wikipedia.org], a populist vehicle founded by a clown [wikipedia.org] not unlike Trump.

                  I live in Italy, pal. Cinquestelle is a fraud built to demoralize the believer in actual government by the people. They forfeited their leadership of the country to pair with the leftists which were on the way out. Those who note cinque stelle = five stars = the number of stars in the chinese flag went from high grade conspiracy nuts to most accurate political commenter in a matter of days when cinquestelle switched from salvini to leftists with an excuse.

                  As for the clown, Grillo has been carrying out this operation since his live TV intervention, in 1989.

              Where to begin.

              Seth Rich murder, no suspects. Epstein, still alive. Neurotoxins and estrogen, in the water. Born rich kid owner of Park Avenue 666, in the white house. Department of Homeland Security, run by a guy named chad with a bachelors degree in basket weaving. Rampant nuclear, nano, quantum, biowarfare ressearch.

              Did you see the attempt at oversight at barr's shitshow yesterday?

              Did you not read? The civilian testing equipment does not exist over 20ghz and that is where 5g is.

              Have you taken a look at the voting machine fiasco? How both iphone and android were backdoored, from the start?

              I left the united states, I was the subject of east german kgb style 5g warfare on my personal life, car, apartment, job. They push you to suicide and make it look like it is all your fault. Check the suicide epidemic over the last few months, that and overdoses are just as deadly as the virus has been(even though we cant even get a real count because just about every death is counted as a covid death)

              So yes, I totally believe they would hand the admin creds to mossad agents and they would make their "antisemitic" foes, and their fmailies, die of "unknown causes" with constructive interference, from their cowardly perch behind their racist wall in the holy land.

              They have broken every other moral and ethical boundary, yet you sit here hemming and hawing like a churchlady who cant believe a preacher would ever put his hand up her skirt.

              Difficult to believe anyone is that naive but here we are. And yet towards *me*, you are like a hungry doberman watchdog, every move I make is suspect.

              You might want to have that looked at, if you cant look at it yourself.

                It explains why there is a general distrust in government in the US. What it doesn't quite explain is why it's more conservatives than liberals that have a general distrust in their government, last I checked it's the conservatives that are running the country right now.

                  Which is why this is so indicative:

                  Fwiw, I do not think we know, or can know who is running the country. But Kushner in the white house is a big indicator, they are grooming him to be president or something. This is an old playbook, and if history is any indication they are preparing to purge their enemies. Red shirts, the reds, red hat...red shields...rot schild...
