The UK government and chief scientist were asked about this at a CV-19 briefing, it was only the fourth most stupid question asked that day. Even asking the question gives the story credibility and encourages the conspiracy theory, the most stupid part of it is 5G will carry the conspiracy theory just as well as it transmits the virus.... oops see what I just did?4 antennas for mobile telephony have been set on fire, probably by supporters of the theory that 5G helps spreading Corona.

I see exactly what you did. You said "oops" when your action was entirely intentional. Nothing "oops" about it!
So it DOES help the virus to spread! By indiscriminately spreading false info, encouraging inappropriate behavior.
THEY WERE RIGHT!
If they destroy all the masts then their access to conspiracy theories is destroyed too. It is utter madness no comedy script could dream up, have we moved on from making statues of cows to worship? Because this stuff about 5G masts is like talk of "evil spirits".
Don't you worry about that. Conspiracy theories, like mushrooms, grow just fine in the dark, as long as you can generate enough sh...er.."fertilizer" to keep 'em going!

5G doesn't spread COVID-19
COVID-19 didn't start in a Chinese Lab
George Soros and Bill Gates did not finance COVID-19
The Chinese are not buying up stocks at bargain prices
Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself

At home we have started turning over as soon as the journalist start talking.
Same stupid questions day after day, more interested in finding a scandal than anything else, especially the BBC !

The press are demanding an inquiry into everything except themselves and their own idiotic performance and our "satirists" are satirising everything except the comedy gold that is the "press briefing". Most FB political forums are running a "stupid question of the day" post.
Well they have plenty to choose from, especially from Laura Kuenssburg !
I cant tell them apart but her "what will next week look like minister" was a new low for our national treasure's senior political editor.

Sounds a lot like Canadian "reporters" at the daily PM press conferences
Well it is a global problem needing a global "solution" achieved by asking the same stupid questions by different people in a different way. How many ways are there to say there is no vaccine, there is no treatment known to work apart from helping the patient to overcome the virus themselves, there is no reliable test to say if you have it or if you had it yet and screeching loudly wont change that.

Let's face it, if media reporters had any intelligence, they'd have a real job !
It is frightening sometimes.

It's not the first time anti-5G activists have set antennas on fire (they're generally a minority).4 antennas for mobile telephony have been set on fire, probably by supporters of the theory that 5G helps spreading Corona.
The thing I'm amazed they don't get is: If the towers were causing the symptoms of CV-19 -- why would people be getting better?
Conspiracy theories surface because people don't believe they are being told the truth. I would say the best way a person could feed into it would be to dismiss it out of hand without explaining why it's wrong. I figure the argument should be countered swiftly with accurate scientific responses.
5G works by transmitting at higher frequencies to facilitate a faster transmission of data, now this does have a variety of problems in that...
- Higher frequencies don't travel as easily over long distances, and penetrate structures as well as lower frequency energy
- This requires more power output, and more antennae in closer proximity to one another, which would increase the exposure to radio-frequency energy.
Though some will talk about censorship, it's not the right answer: I can explain why, but it'll go into political territory and will probably get this whole thread killed.
