The Government would have us believe that “there may be a small increase in overall exposure to radio waves when 5G is added to an existing network or in a new area” but that “there should be no consequences for public health”. Is this actually the case? On what evidence has this statement been made?
I have just read the four 5G case studies carried out this year by Professor Lennart Hardell and Mona Nilsson, in which eight people developed debilitating symptoms after the installation of 5G masts next to their accommodation, where precise radiation measurements were taken. The results put a big question mark over the Government’s statement.
Has our Government ignored the worldwide appeals and consensus statements made by independent scientists and doctors, calling for a revision of safety guidelines and a halt to the rollout of 5G on the basis of research on the much lower levels of pre-5G emissions? These include 433 scientists who have signed the EU 5G appeal, 259 scientists from 44 nations who have signed the international EMF scientist appeal and 164 scientists and medical doctors as well as 95 non-governmental organisations who have signed the EMF Call. There is also the compelling 2020 Consensus Statement of U.K. and international, medical and scientific experts on the health effects of non-ionising radiation, signed by organisations representing 3,500 medical doctors throughout the world, initiated by the Physicians’ Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment (PHIRE).
The lead author of the four 5G case studies is Professor Hardell, an oncologist and leading researcher from the Swedish Research Foundation for Environment and Cancer. He was the first in the world to publish results on elevated cancer risks with mobile phone use. His co-author, Mona Nilsson, is Director of the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation, which seeks, in the absence of information from the Government or the media, to inform people of the risks.
But before we look at the 5G case studies, let’s take a brief look about what is already known about the health risks of previous mobile communications technology. The updated Bioinitiative Report has listed thousands of studies on the adverse health effects of pre-5G technology. A clear majority of studies shows
a clear and consistent pattern of adverse effects that form the basis of the mechanisms whereby RFR [radiofrequency radiation] can cause the cancers seen in human populations. Of 261 studies looking at oxidative effects from RFR exposure, 240 (91%) showed damage. Of 346 studies on effects of RFR on genes, 224 (65%) reported genetic damage. Oxidative stress and genetic damage are the major mechanisms leading to cancer. In addition, RFR exposure causes effects on brain and behaviour. Of 336 studies published on RFR neurological effects, 73% reported effects and only 27% showed no effect.
Moving on to 5G itself, what is different about it? It does not yet use millimetre wave bands, as these will not be allocated until about 2025 for use in 70 U.K. cities. Up-to-date information about health research on millimetre waves can be found on this webpage produced by Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D. from the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. At present, 5G runs on the lower frequencies of 3.4 to 3.8 GHz in the U.K., but what is very novel is the addition of complex new technology, such as beamforming, massive MIMO and phased arrays. Professor Hardell says:
The effects of the exposure depend not only on the carrier frequency, for instance 3.5 GHz as for 5G, but also, and perhaps more importantly, on the modulation and pulsation of the signal and the peak and average intensity. Pulsed signals and simultaneous exposure to several frequencies… were considered more hazardous. The observed effects increased with duration of exposure.
The Hardell-Nilsson case studies are groundbreaking because, incredibly, they study human beings in a real-life 5G environment for the very first time.
The four 5G case studies themselves, published in January, February, April and June this year, deal with acute health effects, i.e., symptoms which come on very quickly after exposure, whereas some of the information at the start of this article refers to chronic effects, i.e., illnesses which develop over years such as cancer or Alzheimer’s.
All four studies describe how previously healthy people very quickly developed symptoms of microwave syndrome after 5G phone masts were installed above or opposite their accommodation at distances of between five and 60 metres. Most of the symptoms disappeared within days of them moving to less irradiated accommodation, but reappeared when they returned to the strongly irradiated accommodation.
Their symptoms included neurological symptoms, headaches, tinnitus, fatigue, insomnia, emotional distress, skin disorders, joint and muscle pain, cardiovascular abnormalities and blood pressure variability. Participants were asked to fill in questionnaires about their health before the 5G masts had been installed, after installation and after they had moved away to less irradiated accommodation. They were asked to grade the severity of their symptoms, with 10 being unbearable. The results are produced in tables in the studies and show that some symptoms were unbearable while near the 5G mast and even more so for the female participants.
The four studies are highly readable and full context is given. I will however mention individual features of particular interest.
Precise radiation measurements are given for different areas of the apartments in relation to the distance from the masts involved. In the first study it is noteworthy that readings of the radiation levels prior to the 5G mast deployment were available. The couple had lived in this apartment for 10 years under a 3G and 4G mast without obvious health problems and, when they heard that the mast was to be upgraded, arranged for measurements to be taken beforehand. The maximum (peak) measurement was 9,000 μW/m2. However, after installation of the 5G mast, very high RF radiation with maximum levels of 354,000, 1,690,000 and over 2,500,000 μW/m2 were measured at three occasions in the bedroom, which was located only five metres below the new 5G base station. Levels in the other three studies were similarly high after the installation of the 5G masts.
Thus it is clear that the deployment of 5G leads to a massive increase in radiation levels, contrary to what our Government has told us. The increase from 9,000 to 2,500,000 µW/m2 can hardly be described as a small increase and the symptoms arising cannot be written off with the phrase “no consequences for public health”.
Yet even these high levels are well below the limits which are supposed to be ‘safe’, according to the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation (ICNIRP). ICNIRP’s guidelines are accepted in the U.K., USA and parts of Europe, but only allow for thermal effects (i.e., assume that health will only be damaged if body tissue is heated). They allow exposure to be as high as 10,000,000 μW/m2 averaged over 30 minutes and 40,000,000 μW/m2 of local exposure averaged over six minutes.
These limits do not allow for longer exposure or chronic effects and ignore studies showing health damage below the thermal threshold. The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields has concluded that “the assumptions underlying ICNIRP’s exposure limits are invalid and continue to present a public health harm”. In addition, ICNIRP has been strongly criticised for having ties to the telecommunications industry.
In the fourth article, Hardell addresses the difference between microwave syndrome and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), which both seem to have similar symptoms,
Unlike the microwave syndrome, individuals suffering from EHS can develop debilitating symptoms at extremely low exposure levels that are tolerated by most other people. That is in contrast to the very high RF radiation levels seen in our four case studies where healthy individuals, with no prior major reactions to wireless technology, developed symptoms.
However, the participant in the second study found that, although his symptoms completely disappeared after six weeks of living in a low radiation apartment, his “arthralgia and headache reappeared rather quickly whenever he visited places with high radiation such as Stockholm City”. He estimates that “his sensitivity to RFR has increased” since living in the office below the 5G base station. Could this mean that he is on the way to developing EHS? The highest RFR measurement found in Stockholm last month was 5,271,555 µW/m2.
Set against these high levels are the vastly different safety exposure levels for RFR recommended by certain expert groups. In 2016, the European Academy of Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM) recommended limits of 0.1 to 100 µW/m2 for frequencies from 900 MHz to 5.6 GHz, depending on sensitivity and whether exposure was during the day or at night. Already in 2012, the Bioinitiative Report had suggested a limit of 30 to 60 μW/m2 and lower still for sensitive persons and children at 3 to 6 μW/m2. These recommended safety limits along with others from different advisory groups are set out in Table 1 in Hardell’s first study.
Yesterday, I spoke to Mona Nilsson, one of the authors of these 5G case studies. She is appalled that the public is now exposed to such high and clearly dangerous levels of RF radiation and not only in city centres but in people’s own homes, where they are irradiated without informed consent. Many people in this situation cannot afford to move away.
Nilsson emphasised that there is no protection against adverse health effects that are not caused by heating of tissue, nor against the effects of chronic exposure. She is shocked that there has been no request from authorities for studies proving the safety of 5G, as indeed Senator Blumenthal realised in 2019 when he said: “So there really is no research ongoing. We’re kind of flying blind here, as far as health and safety is concerned.”
In her opinion, the telecoms industry is now acting in the same way as the tobacco industry did in the past. Experts who question the safety of RFR are smeared or silenced. Journalists, decision-makers and some experts have been bought by the telecoms industry. She says that a small group of experts on RF radiation denying health harms sit on the most influential advisory boards, and that those who disagree are never invited to join them to broaden the debate, despite the fact that the dissenters may represent the majority of expert opinion.

When these lying shysters are saying the same things next summer; more variants, need to stay under restrictions for just a little bit longer etc, what are people going to say then?
When is it enough for the masses to make a stand? What point do you say, that’s enough for me? (pointless question on here, but it’s something I consistently ask family and friends)
Andrew Lloyd Webber said he was going to defy the rules and fully open his theaters. Has someone had a word with him? A couple of blokes in boiler suits from the SAS in the middle of the night perhaps – to read out his horoscope?
Nah, Lloyd Jabber was always just talking big – much bigger than the gnome that he is.
It was only a matter of him and the money in his pockets. Apart from that, he has no other interest in what happens, and is definitely not a beacon of freedom and liberty.
People I speak to (few and far between in these days of no pubgoing), keen Tories or otherwise, still seem to think that “Boris”, along with the Grims and “Bullseye” Ferguson, is doing a wonderful job in “keeping them safe”. Any disagreement with that often provokes the response that Labour would make an even bigger hash of it (or, in reality, be more successful in destroying the country). Such a yardstick or comparison is ridiculous, as would be comparing a dead racehorse’s prowess against one equipped with three legs at best. I wish I knew what the pollsters’ questions are, that so encourage many to want to persist in this Hell on Earth.
Another spineless gobshite no doubt.
For me, Andrew Lloyd Webber gets a few points for courage – for saying something that goes against the pack or the authorized narrative. So too do Vann Morrison and Eric Clapton.
The important thing to note about Baroness Andy is that he refers to anti-injectionists as ‘drunk drivers’.
Yes but can his tennis bat stop coroni?
Until the MSM tell the sheeple that other views are possible the mindless will continue to accept their serfdom.
In other words there is no end. I remember being pilloried, even here, for my gloomy outlook last year, but, and I say this with slender satisfaction, I told you so!
Indeed. I have had the same experiences.
Sadly I cannot see the owners (and their controllers) of the MSM allowing the official narrative to change.
I hope that independent platforms like this one are allowed to continue without the imposition of censorship and control.
They aren’t going to make a stand, or they would have from the beginning. You are framing this the wrong way around, the government is cancelling another summer because it knows now that people are frit, divided, and utterly incapable of making a stand. The goalposts keep being moved, and they slowly accept change in the fashion of of a junkie becoming addicted or a delinquent becoming accepting of a life of crime despite it contradicting their upbringing. It was termed neutralisation and drift by Matza and Sykes (1964).
Meanwhile, around 2740 equivalent lifetimes are lost every day under UK lockdown. That is based upon 80,000,000 people with an average lifetime of 80 years means 1,000,000 lifetimes lived under lockdown every year – or 2740 UK lifetimes every day.
Also the peer pressure underpinning vaxx (and lockdown) compliance is calculated and deliberate, and the rationale can be found in many academic papers, of which the following is but one:
‘Vaccination as a Social Contract’
Lars Korn / Robert Böhm / Nicolas W. Meier / Cornelia Betsch
We are being played so easily.
Maybe they are thinking ADE will reduce the gener pool enough come the winter to keep the rest in line FOREVER?
The examples of Florida, Texas etc leaves no excuse for this lockdown madness.
Absolutely! I’ve just had a Texan woman commisserating with us here in Britain for our Lockdown and saying they’re finding it shocking we’re being treated this way.
Amazes me how many people are still walking around with masks on and keeping their distance -. I honestly feel like shouting this at them sometimes ….
Great graphic!
Sadly it looks like one of the prisoners has passed out (top right-hand corner)
Nice name Manjushri!
Thanks! Hope I can do the name justice?
For those of you that didnt know: Manjushri was the name of a Buddhist Deity who amongst other things had an instinctive ability to cut through the BS to find the truth.
Leave them, sod ’em! We tried a little bit of gentle mask exemption awareness in our town the other day, and we were met with hostility or rudeness. “I LOVE my mask!” said one. But a positive note there were lots of people without masks in the shopping centre today. And we had a really big turn out in our A Stand In The Park. Lots more people joined us, and passers-by read our posters and asked questions.
The huge economic cost of the continued corona madness that we know, because the contracts are signed, will carry on long after whatever nonsense does or does not happen in June or July
All the people making these decisions to impoverish the rest of us are in secure tax funded employment with eye wateringly good pension schemes, again taxpayer funded.
None of them will have to bear the costs of their decisions.
Apart from the very top tier of elites, they most certainly will have to bear the costs of their decisions. They just don’t know it yet.
Fervently hope so however the cynical bit in me says they will be protected in sinecure jobs and will never appreciate how much poorer everyones lives are through lost opportunities.
Don’t let’s be beastly to Boris
When our victory is squandered yet again.
It was just those nasty experts who made him avoid the fight
And their Models and Predictions are really far worse than their bite
Let’s all be meek to him, and turn the other cheek to him
And try to ignore more predictable duress.
Let’s give him full respect, and admire his intellect
But don’t let’s be beastly to Boris
(with apologies to Noël Coward)
Nah
Boris is a fucking cunt.
S’truth…
We played “Boris Johnson is a fucking c*nt” (by the Kunts) out loud the other night. The window was open, we’d had a couple, my brother was round, and there was some people outside making a racket, so we ratched it up….it went very quiet, after! Ashamed (not ashamed!)
How can we end this whole thing? I think it is a numbers game. Once we reach a critical mass of people who have “left the matrix”, then the whole narrative will fall apart. I think we should all concentrate on doing that (if we’re not already) – waking up as many people as possible.
I myself was awakened by my ex, who sent me links to a few videos (Mike Yeadon’s being one of them). Then my natural curiosity led me to delve deeper. The point being – I wasn’t an idiot beforehand – it just hadn’t occurred to me that what I was seeing on the BBC might be complete propaganda. I’m sure there are many, many people like myself.
I think we need to try to awaken everyone we can, before it’s too late.
Two things help our communication – pubs being open, but to a much greater degree offices being open. Since going back to the office I have already discovered a small number of like-minded people, and because we have the truth on our side, it is easier to enlist others. It is especially effective when we make our opinions known and back each other up and it also just so happens that the sceptics are also the people previously regarded as being the smartest and most capable people in the business.
Backing each other up is so important. I’ve often been in arguments where I was the lone voice – it never works, no matter how many facts you have on your side. But when you have one ally – the difference is amazing.
Good to hear
It has been for several decades. In that time many, many folks have tried to point this out – and have ended up with terribly bruised heads due to the UK’s cultural brick wall.
You make a good point.
I also have seemingly intelligent people in my circle who believe some of the crap.
For instance, my sister – who has a PhD in Biology ( and is in her mid forties ) – has been jabbed
… and my Brother whom I call “One Six Four Boy” because that’s his ( tested and verified ) IQ has ALSO been jabbed
There’s a LOT of peer pressure happening !
IQ is not guarantee of either integrity, courage nor it seems is it an antidote to gullibility or brainwashing
Tru dat !
I woke up to the BBC a few years ago which is why I stopped paying for it.
We need a multi million pound budget- probably tens maybe hundreds of millions, from a sceptical billionaire who doesn’t care about upsetting the mainstream, would probably need to be American as anyone in the UK would be shut down
Fund a counter propaganda effort around which the many anti lockdown bodies would coalesce
Good post. Thank you.
Yes, by all means, end the lockdowns on June 21st. But I’m here to tell you: This is already way too late. The economy has already suffered a fatal blow. For example, this inflation – that either does not exist or is “transitory” – is actually just warming up.
Yep I strongly suspect you’re right.
I gues you know stuff such as a shipping container consignment used to cost around 8k dollars, a few months back was 16k or more. I heard recently it can now be as high as 60k USD per container
Also ALL building materials are going up ( I employ a few builders for various projects ) etc
It’s impossible to buy any DIY building materials.
“end the lockdowns on June 21st.” Very little will end on June 21st or any other date on the bullshit roadmap. The only date on a roadmap that matters is where the leaders admit it was a huge mistake, apologise, put in place measures to stop it happening again, and dismantle the global multi-billion pound corona madness industry. Until then, temporary respites from this or that restriction are just part of the boiling frog strategy.
‘The only date on a roadmap that matters is where the leaders admit it was a huge mistake…’ Sadly, that’s highly likely to be the 12th of never.
It’s time for a revolution in the UK, for people to take back their sovereignty. I would not cancel any event or festival or performance. Instead reopen at 100% and take off your mask, and dare these “leaders” to try and stop you. Urge the cops and Met to turn on and arrest MPs and councillors guilty of destroying the liberty of your people, and arm yourselves in case of a brutal crackdown like in the Philippines or China.
I’d love that as someone in the events and festival industry. Unfortunately, they have you by the balls because you can lose your license for future events.
If anyone watched the UFC last night, held in Arizona, they’d have noticed that the arena was 100% full with no one wearing masks. Surely that sight should wake people up to what’s happening in the UK.
It should wake the people up Mark, but the majority of Brits have become zombies and unable to use their brains.
Why would anyone watch UFC?
The plan was never to end restrictions but to destroy the hospitality and entertainment industry…first. It’s so blatant now, what the agenda is. Thia only ends when we end it.
Yes – get rid of hospitality and entertainment so people don’t meet and talk in unmonitored groups. Destroy travel – aviation first, soon to be followed by private cars – so that people can’t go and see what is actually happening anywhere. All we will see is manipulated MSM reporting. Once this is in place mass protest becomes virtually impossible. QED total population control – even without the inevitable digital I.D.. I do think people will eventually wake up but, just like the collapse of the old Eastern Block, it will take decades. The only thing that could go wrong is if the “vaccines” kill too many people (especially children) too quickly.
Notice how the length of the delay had changed over the past week:
It started off as a two week delay.
Then it was 2-4 weeks.
Then it was no more than 4 weeks
Now it’s at least 4 weeks.
All part of the ‘softening up’ strategy.
It won’t stop there though!
ON Radio4 they sometimes say a month and at other times four weeks all part of the confusion.
Final decision was taken months ago just as the next decision which will extend into Spring has been taken and the one after that and the one after that.
How depressing it is to live in this country that used to be Great Britain. I often wonder if there is anything that the government can do that will waken up the people who live on this island to realise they have been taken for complete fools – masks, anti-social distancing, the destruction of our children’s education, vaccines that have yet to complete their medical trials. And, sadly, I realise that the answer is no, there is nothing that will stir the people of this land to any measure of resistance or thinking for themselves. If it weren’t such a complete tragedy, it would be farcical.

Lockdown is not a victimless crime
The Conservative Party – the party for business. Sorry my mistake – the party for big business that funds them and hands over backhanders.
The government’s activities over the past 15 months prove that they have no interest in the small and medium enterprises that form the backbone of the economy.
