The claim that 5G or wireless radiation causes cancer lacks scientific evidence and misrepresents the nature of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). 5G uses non-ionizing radiation, which lacks the energy to damage DNA or cause cancer: https://www.forbes.com/health/wellness/is-5g-safe/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/is-5g-dangerous/ https://factcheck.afp.com/no-evidence-5g-radiation-harmful-human-health-experts-say WiFi and Cell Phone Cancer Risk: https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2016/05/19/a-radiation-oncologist-says-everything-you-need-to-hear-about-wifi-and-cancer-risk/ https://www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/cell-phones/scientific-evidence-cell-phone-safety

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1892065378290839678

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
