Claim: Is 5G Radiation Harmful And Lethal For Birds And Humans? (Social Media Users, 2022-12-21)
Evidence (2024-03-27): Moskowitz said he landed in this field of research in 2009, when his department at Berkeley hosted a South Korean cancer researcher who studied the risk of tumor growth from cell phone radiation exposure. Since then, he has maintained a website where he compiles links to volumes of scientific studies across the globe on the dangers of RF radiation coming from 5G on human and animal health. [...] Her 2018 research paper on the potential hazards of 5G, published in Environmental Research, reviewed relevant electromagnetic frequencies, exposure standards, and current scientific literature on the health implications of 2G, 3G, and 4G exposure, including some of the available literature on 5G frequencies. Russell questioned what elements of this technology constitute a public health issue. She concluded that: "Although 5G technology may have many unimagined uses and benefits, it is also increasingly clear that significant negative consequences to human health and ecosystems could occur if it is widely adopted. Current radiofrequency radiation wavelengths we are exposed to appear to act as a toxin to biological systems.
Claim: Is 5G Radiation Harmful And Lethal For Birds And Humans? (Social Media Users, 2022-12-21)
Evidence (2024-09-09): The origin of this claim is as head-spinning as it is instructive, so let's untangle the knot: Does 5G really kill birds, and if not, why are so many people shouting about it online? The first part of this saga is fairly straightforward: No, 5G—the fifth generation of our mobile cellular network—does not kill birds. "Radio wave emissions above 10 MHz from radio transmission antennas (including cell telephone towers) are not known to harm birds," says Joe Kirschvink, a biophysicist at the California Institute of Technology who specializes in magnetics, in an email. [...] The "5G kills birds" phenomenon was started by John Kuhles, who according to the fact-checking site Snopes, "runs several anti-5G conspiracy websites and social media pages." In a Facebook post last year, Kuhles claimed that a recent mass die-off of European Starlings in the Netherlands was caused by a 5G antenna test. Despite the fact that the local municipality never named a cause for the die-off, and the fact that the test Kuhles cites happened months before the die-off occurred, other Facebook pages and health blogs nonetheless picked up the post.
Claim: Is 5G Radiation Harmful And Lethal For Birds And Humans? (Social Media Users, 2022-12-21)
Evidence (2022-08-18): Surprisingly, some people feel passionately that 5G signals are harmful to humans, despite there being zero credible evidence and zero physical plausibility. Some people believe that the secret purpose of installing 5G technology is to harm humans. The problem with this type of conspiracy theory (i.e., the widespread poisoning of public spaces by conspiring organizations) is that political and technology leaders are also human and also use public spaces. If the people responsible for implementing 5G technology were really causing harmful electromagnetic radiation to be broadcast into public spaces, they would also be harming themselves, their children and their loved ones. While there may indeed be a handful of evil or mentally ill people that are happy harming themselves and their loved ones while harming others, it is absurd to think that effectively all political and technology leaders, at all levels, in all countries, are happy harming themselves and their loved ones.
Claim: Is 5G Radiation Harmful And Lethal For Birds And Humans? (Social Media Users, 2022-12-21)
Evidence (2020-03-05): It is not disputed that electromagnetic fields above certain levels can trigger biological effects. Experiments with healthy volunteers indicate that short-term exposure at the levels present in the environment or in the home do not cause any apparent detrimental effects. Exposures to higher levels that might be harmful are restricted by national and international guidelines. The current debate is centred on whether long-term low level exposure can evoke biological responses and influence people's well being. [...] - There is no doubt that short-term exposure to very high levels of electromagnetic fields can be harmful to health. Current public concern focuses on possible long-term health effects caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields at levels below those required to trigger acute biological responses. [...] - Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health.

Evidence (2020-04-01): Why is there dead birds all round the M25. Round Kent area and near Gatwick have been reported. I have been reading a lot of things about 5G network causing it and seen other videos of birds strewn across roads and dropping out of trees. Does anyone have any other information on it. Warrior of the light said: You are correct this is because of the 5g and it’s the reason why the planet is in lock down to . There is zero evidence linking 5g and the current pandemic. Indeed, anyone with an ounce of technical knowledge knows this is nonsense, quite apart from the fact that many of the pandemic hotspots have no 5g installations at all. All the major social media platforms are taking down such comments as they are not only encouraging destruction of mobile phone infrastructure, but they are contributing to the transmission of the disease by encouraging people to think it's some giant hoax. That is translating into the un-necessary suffering and deaths of real people. Please stop circulating such conspiracy theories.

Evidence (2023-08-10): Synlait Milk Limited (Synlait) has reduced its forecast base milk price for the 2023 / 2024 season to $7.00/kgMS from $8.00/kgMS. The reduction is due to dairy commodity prices declining against previous expectations. Whole milk powder and skim milk powder prices have fallen 12% and 11% since Synlait’s last update in May 2023 to the lowest levels in three years. Subdued global economic activity continues to weigh down prices, and the slowdown of the Chinese economy and an increase in their domestic milk production also means China’s demand for dairy imports has weakened to multi-season lows. Forecasts are based on the best information available to Synlait at the time. Synlait’s final milk price for the 2022 / 2023 season will be confirmed when the company’s full year 2023 result which will be released on Monday 25 September 2023.

Evidence (2024-02-03): Dmitry Krasnov, the head of Agroexport, has forecasted that global prices for dry dairy products will likely stay at the same level as last year. This is due to factors such as increased cheese production worldwide, reduced demand for imported milk powder, whey powder, and cheese from Southeast Asian countries, and China's growing dairy production. Despite these factors, Krasnov believes that Russian dry dairy products will remain competitive globally, especially with ongoing industry support. However, he is less optimistic about the export prospects for cheeses and butter due to intense market competition.

Evidence (2024-01-01): The FAO Dairy Price Index averaged 136.3 points in September, an increase of 5.0 points (3.8 percent) from August and 24.3 points (21.7 percent) higher than its corresponding value a year ago. The rise in the index was driven by higher prices across all dairy products, with whole milk powder prices rising the most, spurred by strong import demand in Asia, despite seasonally higher milk production in Oceania. Skim milk powder prices rose due to limited export availabilities amid tight milk supplies and robust domestic purchases in Western Europe. Meanwhile, world butter prices increased for the eleventh consecutive month, underpinned by solid import and domestic demand, tight inventories and limited milk supplies in Western Europe. World cheese prices also increased, reflecting strong global import demand and tight exportable availabilities in Western Europe, where milk production is seasonally lower.

Evidence (2018-04-22): Three generations - Nabiyeva, Melnikova, Simakova. [...] Nabiyeva's spirit in supporting her St Petersburg team, struggling without its three leading gymnasts, turns my soul inside out, as does Mustafina's amazing, determined return - and Melnikova's sense of finding herself in the all around, her joyous, confident tumbling in the floor final just now. Viktoria Gorbatova, a first year senior yet to be tested at the highest level, is an unspoken hero so far, and the emergence of Angelina Simakova is encouraging. They are all, men and women, stronger and deeper than they appeared a year ago, and the coaches, too, seem more diverse, younger, less worried and more focussed on the job. Russia is fighting again.
