Paper blaming COVID-19 on 5G technology withdrawn:
A paper which argued that 5G cellphone technology could lead to infection with the novel coronavirus has been retracted, but not before scientific sleuth Elisabeth Bik wondered whether it was the "worst paper of 2020."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The abstract is now marked "WITHDRAWN" on PubMed and the paper has disappeared from the journal's website.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.

What's your comment about Hong Kong, another country that has 5g rolled out, has people practically sitting on top of each other and has comparably few Covid cases? Correlation and causation are not just two different words.

Umm... when you know it, why don't you use it? Also, please understand the difference between a hypothesis and a theory. If I had 10 cents for every time some conspiracy dimwit misrepresents the term theory, I could buy Apple and shut it down.

Above you refuse to even define what 5g is, and do not think the question is interesting, so how would we know the 5g in hong kong is the same as 5g in toledo? And as I stated, it varies even from company to company.
That you do not see a problem here tells me all I need to know about your attitude to the discussion.
I will also respond to your other comment.
