Since you're one of the 5G mast burning fans, let me tell you a little story about phone masts.
So a phone company builds a new mast and after a few months they call a town hall meeting to discuss any concerns, and ask people to report any problems. Some people are very angry about electromagnetic radiation, cancer, mind control, the works. At the end of the meeting, the company rep points out that they haven't switched it on yet :)
They move on to the next town, but they're wise to it. Nobody reports any issues at the town hall meeting, just their demands and concerns about what will happen, because of the radiation and mind control etc. At the end of the meeting, the rep asks if anyone is experiencing any of these problems already. No. Then they point out it's been switched on for 3 months :)
Did you like that?
It's an urban myth, been around since they first started building cell towers. Got recycled for 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G. No evidence it's true. But it appeals to a lot of people, so it's been bouncing round the internet for 20+ years.
Have you ever heard that the average person eats 8 spiders a year in their sleep?
Not true: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-people-swallow-8-spiders-a-year-while-they-sleep1/
But wait, there's more. That 'theory' originates in 1993, from an article in PC Professional by Lisa Holst. She wrote it SPECIFICALLY to show how easy it is to get people to believe and share any old nonsense, based on a book of folklore from 1954.
Except none of that is true either. Just sounds credible.

I do appreciate it can be quite difficult to work out who to trust and what is true. But that's all the more reason to be very careful about believing things that conveniently fit your worldview.
If this deal comes off, I'm going to put some serious time and effort into how we get people to stop believing harmful bull****. We really, really need to be able to achieve/maintain some sort of objective shared narrative or we ain't gonna make it.
