What is the distinction? There’s not a whole lot of science about the effects of radiation on life and there’s not a lot of science about factors that influence how bad a corona case turns out. Of course its far fetched to say 5G causes corona, but I would say it’s only unlikely it influences it. There is no proof either way. Ignoring that uncertainty is not science.

> Of course its far fetched to say 5G causes corona, but I would say it’s only unlikely it influences it. That's a popular strawman or a fake argument. People weren't saying that 5G causes corona. It was more about how corona is used as a distraction while 5G towers were being put up illegally (while people weren't allowed to be outside to notice), and how it is powerful enough to track chips in humans.

    Sorry, but your implications are ambiguous.

The distinction is that one is unlikely given the evidence and caveats, and one would require completely rethinking the knowledge we have of how viruses work and how radiation works. It's the difference between 1e-2 and 1e-10. I would trust my life to one, but not the other. Scientists (and the media) should be able to explain the difference.

  So, does the fact that eating too much fat gives a person less chance of surviving a coronavirus infection, or the fact that receiving radiation therapy does the same, require a different rethinking of that ‘knowledge’?

    No. That sounds entirely in agreement with the research that obesity or radiation therapy weakens the immune system.

      Similarly there’s research that indicates that purportedly safe levels of radiation from power lines cause disease. Why is it beyond doubt different radiation can’t do this?
