Abstract

Overview

The study explores the potential environmental factors influencing the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on ambient radiofrequency radiation (WCR) from wireless communication systems. This is considered against the backdrop of the epidemiological triad: agent, host, and environment.

Findings

  • Statistical Correlation: Rapid spread of COVID-19 in areas shortly after the deployment of 5G technologies.
  • Experimental Literature Review: Examination of existing studies reveals WCR may induce several detrimental biological effects:
    • Morphologic changes in erythrocytes, hypercoagulation.
    • Impairment of microcirculation and exacerbation of hypoxia.
    • Immune system dysfunction with increased susceptibility to infections.
    • Cellular oxidative stress leading to organ damage.
    • Facilitation of viral entry and replication through intracellular Ca2+ increase.

Conclusion

WCR and particularly 5G might have increased the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic via several pathways such as immune suppression and enhancement of virus virulence. The paper advocates for reduced WCR exposure and calls for further research into its health implications.
