Cell Tower Conspiracy Theory Is A Doozy

Watch out Flat Earth movement, Pizzagate, and QAnon because a new challenger approaches to compete for the dumbest conspiracy theory championship, as there are now those that believe that radiation from 5G towers is causing COVID-19. A Change.org petition has already received more than 110,000 signatures to block 5G towers, as well as support from D-list celebrities (the 'D' stands for dumbass here) who are sharing the sentiment with their followers.

Woody Harrelson is even dabbling with a little 5G truthin'. But, don't worry, he hasn't fully vetted it yet.

Now, in case you're still waiting for this mystery to be solved by the guy they hired on True Detective to make Matthew McConaughey look like 'the smart one', allow us to clear some things up for you. Their claim is that the radiation from 5G towers suppresses your immune system, which allows for the virus to transmit more easily. Okay, radio waves could technically (and we mean technically in the most pedantic sense imaginable) disrupt your physiology and suppress your immune system, but as Dr. Simon Clarke, associate professor of in cellular microbiology points out " 5G radio waves are tiny and they are nowhere near strong enough to affect the immune system. There have been lots of studies on this."
