Anti-5G mobile tower attacks spread to the Netherlands

Cell tower strikes are not just a UK phenomenon. Those attackers committed arson or sabotage against several cell towers in the Netherlands, four of them just in the past week. The incidents were likely fuelled by anti-5G panic, with a minimum of one perpetrator spraying on a slogan opposing the wireless tech. The full scale is not clear, although the country's National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV) stated there'd been"various events."

There Were anti-5G protests in the Netherlands since intends to deploy the arrangement was announced in 2019, but there had"never before" been violent acts, based on NCTV. Officials at the planner repeated warnings that this may disrupt communications, such as for emergency services, which they had been in"close contact" by authorities and suppliers.

It's not certain whether the strikes were spurred by claims of a Connection between 5G and COVID-19 or just general fears of the new wireless standard. In either case, though, there's no sound supporting evidence That 5G has harmful effects. The higher-frequency sign is so easily Blocked that it does not even penetrate the internal layer of the skin, and mobile Networks operate at such low power that they're well under the safe The strikes are prompted by irrational Fears rather than facts, in other words. Unfortunately, the growing number of events suggests the violence isn't going to stop in the immediate future.
