When a tinfoil hat isn't enough to stop that COVID-5G radiation, it's time to take out those towers.
U.K. Cellphone Towers Ablaze As Conspiracy Theories Link 5G Networks To COVID-19
Conspiracy theories tying 5G networks to the coronavirus pandemic are troubling telecom authorities in the United Kingdom and are being cited as possible motivation for multiple cellphone tower fires this week.
Fires on at least three towers have been reported over the past few days. In at least two instances, accompanying videos and online posts are raising concerns that the attacks may be linked to conspiracy theories that cast 5G networks as the actual cause of COVID-19.
The first two fires in Belfast, North Ireland, and Birmingham, England occurred Thursday. A third occurred on a tower in England's Liverpool area on Friday.
The BBC reports that the government says there is no evidence of a link between the Birmingham and Liverpool fires. Though, the Guardian is reporting that Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson had received threats over the "bizarre" theory.
Other reports say online video of a person attempting radiation readings of the Liverpool tower circulated within a week of the fire. And in Belfast, a video purports to show flames licking the base of the tower as a voice is heard cursing 5G networks and saying "viva la revolution."
