Quirky twist
This jewelry is supposed to protect against 5G radiation. Now it turns out: it is radioactive

The fear of the 5G mobile communications standard is blooming. A manufacturer promised that the wearer should protect himself from the radiation with jewelry. And put them in much greater danger.
The introduction of a new technology has seldom caused as much headwind as the new 5G mobile communications standard. Long before the providers began to convert their networks, citizens in numerous countries protested against the new standard, fearing disease and mind control. Numerous manufacturers then began to sell products to concerned customers with questionable sales promises. Several of the products now turn out to be dangerous in their own right.
The Dutch nuclear authority ANVS warns against this. According to this, critical amounts of radioactive materials were found in ten products that are supposed to protect against radiation. They are bracelets, pendants and even a sleeping mask that have been advertised as “anti-ionic” or “quantum”, according to the agency. There was also a bracelet explicitly aimed at children. Some of the products, such as the “Quantum Pendant”, a stone pendant, can also be purchased in Germany as an import. A full list of proven radioactive products can be found here.
Radiation instead of protection from it
However, the authorities do not see any acute danger. The radiation level is increased, but still low. The main reason for this is that the pendants and chains are worn close to the body for a long time. “They continuously give off ionized radiation. As the wearer is exposed, it can have a negative effect on their health,” warns the ANVS. In order to exceed the permitted amount of radiation in the Netherlands, the trailer has to be worn continuously for a year. The cancer risk posed by the products is accordingly increased, but is rated accordingly as low.
The Dutch authorities took action anyway: all trade in the products that were rated as problematic had been banned and the suppliers had been contacted, the authorities said. However, it cannot be ruled out that other products of this type or these manufacturers may not be dangerous. Owners of such items should put them down immediately and contact the authorities so they can be checked, the council said. When in doubt, the products should no longer be carried, but should be kept in their packaging or in a closed bag in the cupboard. “Then the light radiation cannot cause any damage.”
The supposed protection products have become more and more popular in recent years. Last year there were reports that the demand for protective housings for routers that could protect against radiation was increasing. In fact, the devices work – but completely different from what the conspiracy believers thought. Another product simply turned out to be a fraud: A device sold for 390 euros promised to be able to ward off 5G radiation. Checked by skeptical authorities, the expensive protective screen turned out to be a simple USB stick.
5G is scary
The introduction of 5G technology created uncertainty around the world, which quickly led to conspiracy theories. It also didn’t help that the technology was rated as harmless by the World Health Organization. When, for example, the largely shutdown of air traffic in the first few months of the corona pandemic, the contrails of aircraft, known as “chemtrails”, disappeared from the sky, the 5G network was quickly declared the new thought control technology. As a result, not only were radio masts set on fire again and again, but in some cases the workers who erected them were also attacked. The conspiracy story reached its peak when it was said that the coronavirus was triggered by 5G, or that a 5G chip should be transplanted during the vaccination.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who is the focus of conspirators particularly often because of his support for several companies involved in the vaccine and his years of warnings about the dangers of a pandemic, summed up his despair with one simple sentence: “You can hardly do it anymore deny, it’s that stupid, “he explained last year, irritated. Actor Ryan Reynolds preferred to make fun of the conspirators. “I finally have 5G,” he wrote on an Instagram post. His real message: He had received his vaccination protection.
