Ofcourse not finding evidence is not proof but this is what Wikipedia on
Radiation fears:
In April, 2019, the city of Brussels blocked a 5G trial because of
radiation fears.^[49] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G#cite_note-49>
Since 2018 there have been groups which have opposed the deployment of
5G,^[50] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G#cite_note-50> ^[51]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G#cite_note-51> ^[52]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G#cite_note-AFRT-52> citing health
concerns. Most authorities do not believe there is conclusive evidence
of harm.^[53] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G#cite_note-53>

And ACMA: *
*Are there any health implications?*
Every mobile phone base station, including small cells and 5G base
stations, must meet Australian standards designed to protect you
against electromagnetic energy exposure (EME).
EME limits are set by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear
Safety Agency (ARPANSA) and laid out in the ARPANSA Standard, which is
based on scientific research. Allowable EME levels are set well below
levels at which harm to people may occur.
EME from a small cell is related to its power output—lower power
output means lower radio emissions. A small cell does not always run
at maximum output; base stations only transmit data when required,
after which their power output is reduced.
Also, the closer a small cell is to your mobile, the less power it
needs to communicate. The new 5G base stations will go into ‘sleep
mode’ when there are no active users, making their power output levels
even lower than current 4G base stations.
*How do I know if small cells are meeting the standard?*
The ACMA checks providers are complying with EME levels through
audits, investigations and site inspections. We have consistently
found providers are within EME limits.

The Terrifying Potential of the 5G Network
[...]
Not the least interesting part of this report is the article on the potential,
but unknown, health effects associated with rollout of 5G networks linked at
https://www.jrseco.com/european-union-5g-appeal-scientists-warn-of-potential-serious-health-effects-of-5g/
The article includes a long list of European countries and organisations which
are considering or advocating a halt to 5G rollout until its health effects can
be properly assessed by _independent_ experts, not by the usual suspects from
the telecommunications industry.
I'd like to hear of important applications which would benefit from 5G, and I
don't count arm-waving fantasies about how your toaster could talk to your
coffee maker or pseudo-uses like being able to download an entire movie in 4
seconds. The article quotes a figure of US$400 Billion for installing 5G in
U.S. metro areas.
And quite apart from 5G technology and its potential health risks, I'd also like to see
a discussion of the possible problems of such intensive networking & control. We
can be absolutely certain it's not all onwards & upwards as Huawei et al would like
us to believe.
Governments need to talk to experts in risk-management and control-systems.
But perhaps such abstract issues just give some politicians a headache.
