WAIKOLOA BEACH — While a debate into the safety of 5G technology takes place in communities across the world, a group of people waved signs in front of Waikoloa Beach Resort on Tuesday to warn the public of potential health hazards — as they see them.
Organized by Naomi and Yoav Melamed, the group wanted to educate people about perceived dangers of wireless technology, especially 5G and Smart Meters.
The FCC, however, doesn’t see a link between 5G — the fifth generation cellular technology that will vastly improve speed and connectivity — and health risks.
But demonstrator Yoav Melamed said 5G is a new generation technology that hasn’t been safety tested.
“We are guinea pigs,” he said. “We have reason to believe it will be harmful.”
Earlier this year, people protested against 5G reportedly coming to Kauai next year.
Because 5G uses a shorter bandwidth, smaller antennas will be placed closer together, often on utility or light poles, opening up more space for the ever-increasing use of smart objects, also known as the Internet of Things, where all household devices are connected to this system wirelessly for remote control.
Yoav Melamed said that since the 5G antennas are closer together than the existing cell towers, they’re emitting higher radiation in closer proximity to human habitation. He indicated there were over 1,700 scientific studies that show the radiation causes harm.
They are just a bunch of ignorant people afraid of what they don’t understand. 5G does NOT emit “higher radiation.” It’s precisely because it emits LESS radiation that they have to be placed closer together to form the mesh network. These same people don’t seem to have a problem holding a cell phone up to their heads, which emits a lot more radiation in contact with their heads. Or perhaps they’ve forgotten the 90’s, when our analog cell phones emitted 100’s of times more radiation than our digital phones do today.
5G and smart meters are harmless to everyone. I’d like to see the references to the “over 1,700 scientific studies” he refers to. There are none.
Here are peer reviewed papers by respected scientists documenting the dangers of this technology. It is not only harmful to humans but to all living beings. I choose not to have a cell phone, a land line and a desk top computer work fine.

Too high frequencies is microwave. Cell phones do not go that high.
