Concerns about the upcoming launch of 5G radio telecommunications technology has prompted a mass petition against the move on safety grounds by thousands of scientists and related professionals.
Wireless Radiation: Stop The 5G Network On Earth And In Space, Devastating Impacts On Health And The Environment
To the UN, WHO, EU, Council of Europeand governments of all nations
We the undersigned scientists, doctors, environmental organizations and citizens from (__) countries, urgently call for a halt to the deployment of the 5G (fifth generation) wireless network, including 5G from space satellites. 5G will massively increase exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation on top of the 2G, 3G and 4G networks for telecommunications already in place. RF radiation has been proven harmful for humans and the environment. The deployment of 5G constitutes an experiment on humanity and the environment that is defined as a crime under international law.
Executive summary
Telecommunications companies worldwide, with the support of governments, are poised within the next two years to roll out the fifth-generation wireless network (5G). This is set to deliver what is acknowledged to be unprecedented societal change on a global scale. We will have “smart” homes, “smart” businesses, “smart” highways, “smart” cities and self-driving cars. Virtually everything we own and buy, from refrigerators and washing machines to milk cartons, hairbrushes and infants’ diapers, will contain antennas and microchips and will be connected wirelessly to the Internet. Every person on Earth will have instant access to super-high-speed, low- latency wireless communications from any point on the planet, even in rainforests, mid-ocean and the Antarctic.
What is not widely acknowledged is that this will also result in unprecedented environmental change on a global scale. The planned density of radio frequency transmitters is impossible to envisage. In addition to millions of new 5G base stations on Earth and 20,000 new satellites in space, 200 billion transmitting objects, according to estimates, will be part of the Internet of Things by 2020, and one trillion objects a few years later. Commercial 5G at lower frequencies and slower speeds was deployed in Qatar, Finland and Estonia in mid-2018. The rollout of 5G at extremely high (millimetre wave) frequencies is planned to begin at the end of 2018.
Despite widespread denial, the evidence that radio frequency (RF) radiation is harmful to life is already overwhelming. The accumulated clinical evidence of sick and injured human beings, experimental evidence of damage to DNA, cells and organ systems in a wide variety of plants and animals, and epidemiological evidence that the major diseases of modern civilization—cancer, heart disease and diabetes—are in large part caused by electromagnetic pollution, forms a literature base of well over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies.
If the telecommunications industry’s plans for 5G come to fruition, no person, no animal, no bird, no insect and no plant on Earth will be able to avoid exposure, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to levels of RF radiation that are tens to hundreds of times greater than what exists today, without any possibility of escape anywhere on the planet. These 5G plans threaten to provoke serious, irreversible effects on humans and permanent damage to all of the Earth’s ecosystems.
Immediate measures must be taken to protect humanity and the environment, in accordance with ethical imperatives and international agreements.
5G will result in a massive increase in inescapable, involuntary exposure to wireless radiation
Ground-based 5G
In order to transmit the enormous amounts of data required for the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G technology, when fully deployed, will use millimetre waves, which are poorly transmitted through solid material. This will require every carrier to install base stations every 100 metres[1] in every urban area in the world. Unlike previous generations of wireless technology, in which a single antenna broadcasts over a wide area, 5G base stations and 5G devices will have multiple antennas arranged in “phased arrays”[2],[3] that work together to emit focused, steerable, laser-like beams that track each other.
Each 5G phone will contain dozens of tiny antennas, all working together to track and aim a narrowly focused beam at the nearest cell tower. The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted rules[4]permitting the effective power of those beams to be as much as 20 watts, ten times more powerful than the levels permitted for current phones.
Each 5G base station will contain hundreds or thousands of antennas aiming multiple laser-like beams simultaneously at all cell phones and user devices in its service area. This technology is called “multiple input multiple output” or MIMO. FCC rules permit the effective radiated power of a 5G base station’s beams to be as much as 30,000 watts per 100 MHz of spectrum,[2] or equivalently 300,000 watts per GHz of spectrum, tens to hundreds of times more powerful than the levels permitted for current base stations.
Space-based 5G
At least five companies[5] are proposing to provide 5G from space from a combined 20,000 satellites in low- and medium-Earth orbit that will blanket the Earth with powerful, focused, steerable beams. Each satellite will emit millimetre waves with an effective radiated power of up to 5 million watts[6] from thousands of antennas arranged in a phased array. Although the energy reaching the ground from satellites will be less than that from ground-based antennas, it will irradiate areas of the Earth not reached by other transmitters and will be additional to ground-based 5G transmissions from billions of IoT objects. Even more importantly, the satellites will be located in the Earth’s magnetosphere, which exerts a significant influence over the electrical properties of the atmosphere. The alteration of the Earth’s electromagnetic environment may be an even greater threat to life than the radiation from ground-based antennas (see below).
20,000 Satellites For 5G To Be Launched Sending Focused Beams Of Intense Microwave Radiation Over Entire Earth
by John P. Thomas • Health Impact News • January 11, 2018
Public attention about 5G has been focused on the plans of telecom companies to install millions of small cell towers on electric utility poles, on public buildings and schools, on bus stop shelters, in public parks, and anywhere they want in national parks and on federally owned land.
In local urban communities there would be a cell tower approximately every 500 feet along every street.
As bad as these small cell towers might seem from the standpoint of constant exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation in close proximity to the source, perhaps an even more alarming prospect will be the beaming of millimeter length microwaves at the earth from thousands of new communication satellites.
The FCC gave approval to SpaceX on March 29, 2018, to launch 4,425 satellites into low orbit around the Earth. [1]
The total number of satellites that is expected to be put into low and high orbit by several companies will be 20,000 satellites. [1]
5G will use Phased Array Antennas to shoot Beams of Radiation at Cell Phones
These satellites will use the same type of phased array antennas as will be used by the ground-based 5G systems.
This means that they will send tightly focused beams of intense microwave radiation at each specific 5G device that is on the Earth and each device will send a beam of radiation back to the satellite. [2]
Previous generations of RF cellular communication used large antennas to send a blanket of radiation in all directions. The lower frequencies they used and the broad distribution of microwaves limited the numbers of cellular devices that could connect through an individual tall tower.
The much shorter length microwaves used for 5G will make it possible to use small phased array antennas to send and receive signals.
Phased array antennas consist of clusters of hundreds of tiny antennas that work together to shoot a ray of energy at a target just like a bullet. A cluster of these tiny antennas can be arranged in a 4 inch by 4 inch matrix.
The rays of microwaves they produce will be strong enough to pass through walls and human bodies. If they were not strong enough to do this, then everyone with a 5G smartphone would have to stand outside when using the devices. [2]
Each 5G product will also have multiple phased array antennas which will be used to create a powerful beam of radiation back to the 5G devices mounted on electrical utility poles or toward a specific satellite in space.
These beams of radiation will also need to be strong enough to pass through walls and human flesh such as a hand or head to reach the intended destination. [2]
This means that if you are in a crowded location, such as an airport or on a train, there will be hundreds if not thousands of invisible beams of radiation flying through the environment at the speed of light.
As people move in that environment, their bodies will be penetrated by numerous beams of radiation as they walk or as other people walk around them with their 5G smartphones. [2]
5G Phones will be much more Powerful than Previous Phones
The effective radiated power of the 5G phased array antennas in phones will be 10 times more powerful than 4G phones.
No one will be free from exposure.
In addition, 5G beams of microwave radiation will be received and transmitted from new computer equipment, household appliances, and automobiles.
Stationary equipment such as Wi-Fi hubs in homes and offices will be permitted to use microwave beams that are 15 times stronger (300 watts) than the signals from 5G phones or 150 times stronger than 4G phones. [2]
For an interesting read on the connection between COVID-19, COVID injections, 5G, and Chemtrails.
A few important excerpts:
…globalist entities that are behind the military deployment of 5G worldwide needed a cover for the inevitable outbreaks of both 5G Flu and 5G Syndrome. The coronavirus pandemic has provided just that, especially in light of the fact that many of the symptoms of both are quite similar. See: Is The “Coronavirus” Actually Microwave Illness from 4G and 5G Radiation?
The article also points out that the aerosolized and chemically mobile aluminum oxide is “particularly toxic to the brain when permitted to pass through the blood-brain barrier.” This was accomplished through the invasive nasal COVID-19 testing which punctured the brain lining, causing some to need surgery.
Josh DeLay is ticked off about Lyme disease and rightfully so.
In 2017, Pennsylvania topped the nation with 9,250 confirmed cases and 2,650 probable, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost as many as found in New England states combined.
DeLay, 35, of Beaver Falls, owner of DLay ’n Ink Tattoos and Body Piercing in New Brighton, is among 35 tattoo artists across the country participating in Ink to End Lyme, an event to increase awareness and raise money to treat and cure the tick-borne illness now detected in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The majority of cases are concentrated in the Northeast and upper Midwest.
DeLay said he will donate all proceeds from tattoos and body piercings Jan. 30 to Lyme research. He’s freed his schedule from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. to accommodate walk-in customers. On an average day, he has four to five appointments and charges $85 an hour.
This is the third year for Ink to End Lyme, sponsored by nonprofit Lyme Warrior — a team of people with chronic Lyme disease working to find better treatment, testing and understanding of the illness. DLay’n Ink is one of three tattoo shops in Pennsylvania participating. The other two are near Philadelphia.
DeLay learned of the event through Facebook when tagged by a friend last month. A few days later, a client told him she was just diagnosed with the disease. DeLay thought that was more than coincidence and took it as a sign to get involved.
“If you can help, you should. It’s one day of my time,” he said, adding that he’s supported fundraisers to help animals, veterans and community projects such as the ongoing one in Beaver Falls to raise money to repair and reopen Tigerland Wave Pool.
If you go
What: Ink to End Lyme.
When: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Jan. 30.
Where: DLay ’n Ink Tattoos and Body Piercings, 904 Third Ave., New Brighton.

Tick removal and testing
If you find a tick attached to your skin, the key is to remove it as soon as possible. Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible.
1. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.
2. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.
3. Never crush a tick with your fingers. Dispose of a live tick by putting it in alcohol, placing it in a sealed bag/container, wrapping it tightly in tape, or flushing it down the toilet.
Follow-up
If you develop a rash or fever within several weeks of removing a tick, see your doctor. Be sure to tell the doctor about your recent tick bite, when the bite occurred, and where you most likely acquired the tick.
Avoid folklore remedies such as “painting” the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible. Do not wait for it to detach.

DeLay remembered when the generosity of others helped him, too.
When first diagnosed with diabetes years ago, he didn’t have health insurance.
“I was going to the clinic in Beaver Falls. Thank God, they had a (funding) program set up and I was able to get insulin,” he said.
Funding should be available to advance research for Lyme disease, too, he said.
“It’s a shame. There should be a cure. Why isn’t there?” he said.
The past month, DeLay’s Googled tattoo flash cards — designs printed on paper or cardboard to give customers ideas — of Lyme-related images and has also been hand drawing his own. Images range from the simplicity of the lime-green Lyme disease awareness ribbon, a bandaged lime, to more intricate drawings of disease-carrying animals — white-tailed deer, mice, chipmunks, gray squirrels, opossums and raccoons.
Of course, customers don’t have to be inked with Lyme-related tattoos. They can choose whatever design they want.
But customers must be 18 or older. In Pennsylvania, it’s unlawful to tattoo anyone under 18 without the presence and consent of a parent or guardian. Tattoo artists who violate the law face a third-degree misdemeanor charge, which can lead to a $100 fine or up to three years in prison.
Lyme Warrior founder Lauren Lovejoy of Blacksburg, Va., said it took years before she was correctly diagnosed with the disease and she slowly became sicker and sicker. A self-described workaholic, she found herself mostly bedbound.
“I was so lightheaded, shaky, and generally weak, that I had issues functioning at my office job,” she wrote on the Lyme Warrior website. “I went to doctor after doctor, but after another month full of missed days of work, I had to acknowledge that I could not function. I spent almost every day in bed.”
A tattoo devotee, she organized artists around the country to help her cause in the education of Lyme disease and her mission to raise funds. Last year, $12,000 was raised.
In Mid-Atlantic states, including Pennsylvania, blacklegged ticks infected with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi spread the disease to humans by attaching themselves to the body — usually hard-to-see areas such as scalp, groin and armpits — and then biting flesh.
Annually, the number of people diagnosed with Lyme disease in the United States approximates 300,000, according to the CDC.
Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint pain and characteristic bull’s-eye patterned rash. Untreated, infection can spread to joints, heart and nervous system. If treated with antibiotics early, people usually recover, the CDC said.
Most cases of Lyme are missed, according to Lyme Warriors.Standard testing is only 20 to 30 percent accurate. Lovejoy said she was misdiagnosed twice.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health’s 2017 Lyme Disease Report indicated Beaver County had 211 cases. Allegheny County had 432, and Lawrence County had 82. Butler County had the most with 658.
DeLay thinks development of wilderness areas forcing humans and animals to share habitats helps spread Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses.
“We’re getting closer to the woods, and the woods are getting closer to us,” he said. “I heard about coyotes in Beaver Falls yesterday. Someone saw a coyote. If you think about it, they’re cutting trees down everywhere. Look at Chippewa (Township). It used to be all woods.”
Lovejoy also blames climate change and global warming.
And something even more alarming, she said: “an asexual tick that doesn’t need a partner to reproduce.”
The invasive Asian longhorn tick was discovered in Pennsylvania’s Centre County last year.

If you find an attached tick, GET TO THE DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY! Do not take a “wait and see approach.” Everyone admits that treating for this promptly makes all the difference. Why wait? It’s not worth the gamble. If it were me, I’d demand prophylactic treatment. For more on all things Lyme: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2016/02/13/lyme-disease-treatment/
Take a picture of the tick
Put it in a sealed baggie and stick it into the freezer
Take pictures of any rashes. They are notorious for coming and going. By the time you get to the doctor it might be gone.
It’s true that most cases are missed and that testing is abysmal, but the information on waiting for a fever and rash are just as deluded.
Fewer than 50% recall a rash and many rashes are “atypical.”
Dr. Klinghardt has stated that a bulls-eye rash only happens on subsequent tick bites – not the first one. One thing’s for sure –
Nearly 40 individuals across the US exhibited unusual rashes after receiving tattoos. After an investigation, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirmed 22 skin infections spanning over four states in the past year. The symptoms are linked to tattoo ink contaminated with M. Chelonae. This cousin of tuberculosis entered the ink via contaminated water used during the distillation process.
Woman links Lyme disease diagnosis to pet cat sleeping on bed
Jan. 21, 2019
By Alexandria Hein/Fox News
Lisa Vallo, an artist, said she would occasionally find ticks in her pet’s coat, and that the cat often napped on her bed. (SWNS)
A 51-year-old woman who was suffering from symptoms that she says made life intolerable for over a decade has linked her Lyme disease diagnosis three years ago to an incident involving her cat back in 2002. Lisa Vallo, an artist, said she would occasionally find ticks in her pet’s coat, and that the cat often napped on her bed.
But it took Vallo nine doctors, several misdiagnoses and years of dealing with a racing heart, nausea, arthritis and extreme tiredness before she was diagnosed with Lyme, and then finally made the connection back to her cat, SWNS reported.
“I woke up in the morning and noticed a black dot on my tummy,” Vallo, of West Yorkshire, told the news agency about the 2002 incident. “I thought it was some dust or fluff and tried to scratch it off but I couldn’t. I went into the bathroom and managed to pick the dot off with my nail and noticed it had legs and was wriggling.”
Additionally, Vallo said she remembered that her cat had slept on her bed the night before, likely leaving a tick behind. She said she hadn’t even known what Lyme disease was at the time, and didn’t know what to look for but now that she has a diagnosis, she’s angry about the years she lost while dealing with symptoms.
Lyme disease is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected tick. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue, rash, and can spread to the joints, heart and nervous system without treatment. Lab testing can help confirm a diagnosis, but cases are often diagnosed based on physical findings and symptoms.
“The test was inadequate,” she said, of the misdiagnoses. “There isn’t enough expertise or publicity about Lyme disease and that’s why I’m speaking about it. Thousands and thousands of people suffer from the disease and don’t know about it, just like I don’t.”
Vallo said she is now on her own holistic treatment plan including 20 different supplements and has cut carbs from her diet.

Please, DO NOT LET YOUR PET ON FURNITURE OR IN YOUR BED!
Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health, retweeted a tweet that called into question the existence of chronic Lyme disease. – Contributed
HALIFAX, N.S. – A recent retweet by the province’s top doctor dismissing chronic Lyme disease as a condition based on pseudoscience and supported by a chronic Lyme cult, is being met with sharp criticism by one of Canada’s top tick experts.
“There are a lot of people who are sick and belittling them publicly is trivializing their illness and their suffering, so it’s deeply unfortunate given all of the science work and medical work that needs to be done around Lyme disease,” said Vett Lloyd, a biology professor at Mount Allison University. She also leads the university’s Lyme Research Network. “Chronic Lyme disease is not a cult. It’s not a myth.”
On Wednesday, Dr. Robert Strang, the province’s chief medical officer of health, retweeted the anonymous tweet from an account named LymeScience.
“As a former victim of the chronic Lyme cult, I feel it’s pretty important that they stop controlling the narrative around Lyme disease with their pseudoscience and misinformation,” read the opening line of the tweet.
“They’ve been called a threat to public health for good reason. But it would help to remember not everyone who falls for it is an idiot. The cult is well-funded and only growing. I’d hope most people can see more needs to be done to stop this anti-science movement.”
The Twitter account is linked to the website LymeScience.org, which offers a slew of information attempting to debunk chronic Lyme disease. But the website is not affiliated to any particular person or group.
The Chronicle Herald attempted to reach Strang to find out his motivation behind the retweet, but he declined comment.
Besides calling the statements false and inflammatory, Lloyd also said she was confused by the tweet because chronic Lyme has a couple of different meanings. She says chronic Lyme could refer to advanced untreated cases of Lyme disease or cases of the illness where the bacteria persists after treatment and the person still has infection symptoms. It’s more likely that Strang’s retweet is taking aim at the latter category, says Lloyd.
Strang told the Herald last September that the standard short-term antibiotic treatment for Lyme in the province is effective. He declined to say chronic Lyme exists and that bacteria could persist after a short course of antibiotics. But he said in some cases people have residual symptoms after being treated.
Lloyd, a Lyme disease survivor, says there’s ample evidence showing chronic Lyme is real and that short-term antibiotic treatment doesn’t always work. Lloyd was forced to travel to the U.S. to seek long-term antibiotic treatment after her standard treatment at home failed to work.
“There’s quite a bit evidence that you can have bacterial persistence after short-term treatment. My experience was that the standard treatment was not enough to return me to health.
“I required longer-term treatment to recover my health outside of Canada. I spent many years in Canada being diagnosed with everything under the sun and getting sicker and sicker but when I was treated for Lyme disease in the U.S. I got better in short order.”
She says Strang should be working to bring people on both sides of the chronic Lyme debate together instead of furthering the divide by resorting to name-calling.
Dr. Richard Dubocq, a Maine-based doctor currently treating 140 Lyme patients from Canada with long-term antibiotics, says about half of his Lyme patients live in Nova Scotia. Like Lloyd, he says he was shocked by Strang’s retweet, calling it irresponsible and an attempt to raise fear and paranoia.
“I’m just surprised that he’s allowed to send this out on the airwaves because on so many different levels it delivers false information,” said Dubocq.
Dubocq follows treatment guidelines set down by the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS). But those guidelines that recommend long-term antibiotic treatment in chronic or persistent cases of Lyme are not widely accepted by the North American medical community. Mainstream doctors, including in Nova Scotia, follow the standard Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines for the treatment of Lyme.
Donna Lugar, the Nova Scotia representative for the advocacy group the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation, says hundreds, if not thousands, of people are struggling in Nova Scotia with a tick-borne disease.
But in recent years several U.S. states have passed doctor-protection laws that fall in line with ILADS guidelines, allowing physicians to treat Lyme more aggressively with longer-term antibiotics. No such laws exist in Canada.
“I recently attended the 19th annual ILADS conference in Chicago attended by over 1,000 health-care providers from around the word,” said Dubocq. “The quality of data was impeccable.”
Health Minister Randy Delorey would not make himself available for an interview but in an email statement said people should consult the department’s official Twitter account for information about Lyme disease. He did not weigh in on Strang’s retweet or offer his stance on chronic Lyme disease.
“The department reminds Nova Scotians that our clinical guidelines for the testing and treatment of Lyme disease are evidence-based and derived from national clinical guidelines,” said Delorey.
Donna Lugar, the Nova Scotia representative for the advocacy group the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation, said Strang’s retweet is inexcusable.
“Hundreds, if not thousands, of people are struggling in this province with a chronic illness,” said Lugar. “What are we ill with, if not Lyme and/or other tick-borne diseases? Are we all mentally ill, as some doctors would suggest?”
https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/10/30/study-shows-lyme-msids-patients-infected-with-many-pathogens-and-explains-why-we-are-so-sick/ For the first time, Garg et al. show a 85% probability for multiple infectionsincluding not only tick-borne pathogens but also opportunistic microbes such as EBV and other viruses….In addition to tick-borne co-infections and non-tick-borne opportunistic infections, pleomorphic Borrelia persistent forms may induce distinct immune responses in patients by having different antigenic properties compared to typical spirochetes32,33,34,35. Nonetheless, current LD diagnostic tools do not include Borrelia persistent forms, tick-borne co-infections, and non-tick-borne opportunistic infections.
