Italy: 5G networks projects have been stalled due to concerns over health dangers that the biased media claims are “conspiracy theories”, and Italy’s complex bureaucracy.

Sure there must be some connection between 5G and the spread o SARS disease. Did you know that the prime ministre has appointed, to face covid crisis, a man directly from Vodafone (Vittorio Colao)? What’s his experitse in this kind of disease, a man from Telecommunicaution???? May that be that there’s a strict correlation between respiratory diseases and the wavelenght used by 5G, which they can turn on and off at will?
