I don't like the approach of questioning credentials. It would be more useful, in my opinion, to demonstrate the factual incorrectness of the blogpost by investigating its (scientific) sources. See where the information comes from and check if it is represented well. Spoiler alert: this article does not cite scientific sources, only other self-referential blogposts.
So let's see this article.
> While it would be fair to assume that 5G technology has been tested for risks, this is simply not the case.
False. Just a Google Scholar search away are many articles investigating the safety: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?&q=radiation+safety+5G https://scholar.google.com/scholar?&q=radiation+safety+5G
> 5G millimeter waves [..] naturally cause the skin to rise in temperature
So? If the rise in temperature was large, it may be a concern. However, the rise is very slight. Moving from one room to another in your house changes the temperature more. Heck, even standing up from your desk.
> Many scientists understand that the electromagnetic radiation leaking through the doors of our microwave ovens are carcinogenic, and therefore, can cause cancer.
[citation needed]. If there are so many scientists, why not name a few?
> launch of 5G will be similar to turning on your microwave, opening its door, and leaving it on for the rest of your life
Laughably false. Your microwave oven operates at the same frequency as Wi-Fi and the power required is thousands of times higher than your Wi-Fi router to be able to heat the food.
> Radiation causes cancer.
True, but misleading. Certain types of radiation (ionizing radiation, which 5G is not) are carcinogenic.
> [..] radiation does one major thing to human beings and animals – it destroys our DNA
Again, not all radiation does this. Only radiation at much higher frequencies than any of the 5G bands will do this.
