Award-winning journalist and podcaster Andrew Gold joins us for this edition of Skeptical Sunday to examine the spread of conspiracy theories linking 5G technology to COVID-19 and debunk these claims with actual science.
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:
• 5G is the latest generation of wireless technology • that offers significantly faster data speeds, lower latency, and increased network capacity — leading to enhanced connectivity and improved efficiency in our daily lives.
• Conspiracy theories linking 5G to COVID-19 have gained significant attention • and, like the virus itself, spread across the world — helped by Russian state-backed media outlet RT.
• Misinformation and conspiracy theories tend to exploit newsworthy events • to further ulterior agendas.
• Conspiracy theorists often seek comfort and certainty during uncertain times • , leading to the popularity of such theories.
The good news: there is no credible evidence or scientific basis supporting the idea that 5G radiation depletes the immune system or spreads COVID-19. • Connect with Jordan • on Twitter • , Instagram • , and YouTube • .
