  The 5g one was wrong on many levels and very definitely pseudoscience. I also disagree that there is no evidence that microwave heating is safe. There is in fact no real evidence that it isn't safe (and largely no physics mechanism that would suggest otherwise).

    I think it's sometimes argued that you can def cook food using microwaves... But yeah I agree - the "lack of evidence is not evidence" is often used by quacks.

      You can also cook food using sunlight. And yet I take walks and run in the sun and I feel perfectly fine. Just because a 5G antenna can heat up humans around it by 0.00001C (I am guessing at the number of zeroes here), is in no way a valid argument that it is bad for us. A study would have to specifically link this kind of microwave radiation to some ill effects, at the dose of 5G installations in use today. As of now, no such study exists.

        Repeated UV exposure from sunlight also causes skin cancer. So I am not sure that is the best example...
