During WWII, I was a telegraphist in the New Zealand Navy. The radio waves were directed into our metal room, on a metal ship, where we did Morse code for hours on end. A lot of us got sick. I got pneumonia and the mumps, and many others got serious flu. Most interesting, we recognized that the Navy telegraph operators were prone to psychological problems— some anger and strange behavior in normally mild-mannered men. So if radio waves have this effect, imagine what 5G can do!

Yes, it was the radio waves.
Not the cold metal rooms in a cramped metal ship, working hours on end, in an apparent veritable petri dish of disease, with the arduous task of constantly sending out and translating messages as lives hung on the balance of you all being as accurate and quick as possible.
That stuff was irrelevant, it was the radio waves. Which is why radios in general are well known for disease and causing mental illness.
What you're using to say this today: Wi-Fi, presumably?
One aspect - along with Bluetooth - of Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping.
If radio waves could do what you 'claimed' three quarters of a century ago, imagine what that invented by Hedy Lamarr now clearly doesn't . Ergo, what 5G isn't .
Just ask all those in South Korea: which had it a year before everyone else.

Nope. Radio waves have a hard time penetrating metal rooms in metal ships. Thry hit antennas. And electrical pulses were conveyed to the equipment in the metal room.
Electrical pulses also coursed thru the wires and equipment in virtually every watch space on the ship. Bridge, CIC, galley, sonar, fire control, damage control.... the shole damned ship had the same electronic environment you did.
If you guys had specific problems, it was not from radio. Stress, probably.
My Grandfather also served in WW2 in a similar position in the US Navy. He said very little about his service for the entire rest of his life. He made it clear that he did it out of a sense of duty, but it was also clear that the experience made it so that he wouldn't wish war on anybody, not even his enemies.
The mumps? From radio waves? A medical sensation.
And aren’t the radio waves emitted from an antenna high above the ship? Wouldn’t the people in the metal room be protected from radio waves by the surrounding walls? Wouldn’t the deck crew be in more danger?
Let's get real here: you got the mumps from aliens during an abduction. Come on sheeple, wake up!

That would be the same effect or lack thereof, since it’s still radio waves. I’d think a radio operator would know that. I dunno, maybe I should give the guy a break, though…WWII vet? So he’s what, in his 90s now at least? (somehow I ain’t buying it in case you can’t tell)
So either during WW2, they had such a dire personnel shortage that they employed people who had no clue whatsoever what radio waves even are, or he’s pulling this out of his ass.
Though I guess if all you have to do is know the morse alphabet and only listen to the clicks and push the button, you don’t have to necessarily know about how the clicks get there or what the button actually does. Still, the idea that one could work in a field like that and still be so unbelievably clueless about it pushes my faith in humanity a bit further into the negatives.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
