Granted, 3 years old, but, but, but...short of lobotomy, this for those that can't be reasonable, logical, or do in fact, have developmental and/or degenerative processes going on inside the old noggin?

I would rather have a sauna with low to no EMFs than one without, and I'd hope my pendant, if only to advertise awareness of potential problems in hopes others would notice those issues too, would protect me from my (and others') multiple 4-5G devices...

Protect your card(s); protect your money: RFID wallets?

5G is just radio waves, end of story. The same frequencies have been used for broadcasting for decades, with 5G using a lot of spectrum that used to be for analog TV.

Even if there were any potential harm, there's no "research" that proves that a pendant with special "minerals" would afford any sort of protection. It's all bogus pseudoscience.

And what does "multiple 4-5G devices" have to do with anything here? Or RFID wallets?

It was funny when this first came out and it was just a handful of loons spouting off.

Now a few million people are going to think it's a real problem and we'll have to spend way too much time trying to explain that it's not going to make your testicles fall off or your ovaries explode.

There are lots of frauds like this out there..offering to "protect " possible paranoid schizophrenics from "voice to skull" technology and other drivel.

Apparently MKUltra, the NSA scandals etc convinced a lot of people like this that all their worst fears are real. I feel bad for the people who believe stuff like this. Some of it is discomfort with technology. Where it is distrust of corrupted leadership or in the system, this is not a useful reaction. Obviously, the pendant crap is just crazy. But even paranoia about tech cos (driven by distrust of tacky people and not of the actual tech) should not go fringe..It should be mainstreamed skepticism about shady and tacky corporate creeps and of corrupt states pushing for deregulation.


But given all the legitimate creepiness in big tech, a growing lunatic, anti-science fringe is a really bad thing..Well it is a bad thing any which way..
