Masts caught fire in Birmingham and Merseyside Mobile phone mast fires are being investigated amid conspiracy theories claiming a link between 5G and coronavirus.
There have been fires at masts in Birmingham, Liverpool and Melling in Merseyside.
A video, allegedly of the blaze in Aigburth, was shared on YouTube and Facebook, claiming a link between the mobile technology and Covid-19.
Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove said it was "dangerous nonsense".
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said on Twitter "there is absolutely no credible evidence" of a link, while trade body Mobile UK said such rumours and conspiracy theories were "concerning".
I believe that those opposed to the G5 are using the corona virus to burn these mast

I saw something like that on a you tube vid.. Seemed a bit flaky.. Anyway, they surrounded a phone with steel wool, then phoned it.. The steel wool flamed up after a few seconds.. Seems like I saw the same thing, before 5G tho.. When I go 5G, I'll let you know...

The guy in this vid was supposedly an installer of 5G towers, and he discovered how dangerous they were.. He then started burning them down, until he was arrested.. IDK, but it smelled of fish...

What happened to cell phones causing brain tumors? Remember that? I think they put lead in flu vaccines so it would protect us from brain tumors from cell phones.
