(Image source: WHO) There are two key differences between the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and 5G technology. One has spread across the globe, the other has barely rolled out in most countries and in some cases not at all. That hasn’t stopped conspiracy theorists from conflating the two however. Thanks to a combination of scam artists, the reach of social media, ignorant celebrities and influencers, and general public frustration and confusion, a strange theory has emerged in the months since the global COVID-19 pandemic started. Allegedly, 5G is the culprit behind the pandemic.

Even less plausible variations on the theory posit that the 5G signal itself is somehow carrying the coronavirus. That’s right, a biological virus is riding around on electromagnetic waves... It’s really all too ridiculous to give credence to, but if you’re interested in the origins of this theory plenty of sites have covered it extensively. Conspiracies around wireless technology are ...
