There was a lot of conspiracies about pre-existing cellphone network. A decade or so ago cellphone cause cancer was the big one. It happen everything there is a new technology with scary sounding name like radiation.

For 5G in particular, it’s because it use higher energy wavelength than standard cellphone network. In actuality, the different in energy vary a lot, 5G isn’t just one wavelength and some used in 5G are not that higher than standard cellphone network.
