Frequency matters, not just energy. There’s a reason microwave ovens operate at the frequency they do.
You’d be better off citing evidence that the frequencies used in 5G don’t have adverse long term effects on biological systems.
We’ve had millions of years to evolve complex biological systems to deal with the radiation from visible and UV light spectrum. Microwave radiation, not so much. It’s fine for people to be cautious.

But no, the reasons why microwave ovens work have less to do with their frequency than UV interactions do, which are QM in nature. The only real effect wavelength has in classical EM matter interactions is penetration depth. Anything longer wavelength than visible light has less energy per photon and thus can't ionize, that goes beyond saying, may be I should have opened with that. The only thing that matters after that is intensity and penetration depth.

This is going to be a subject of a long battle between two camps of scientists with contradictory results coming up every now and again. The amount of investment in 5G is simply too high for it to fail, there's no way it's blocked even if some studies demonstrate a negative impact on human health.
