I am a citizen who fears 5-g, as I have high blood pressure, 152/80, though taking medication as prescribed by a cardiologist. I have shortness of breath, and am fearful that 5-g could make me worse. I do avoid any 5-g exposure as much as possible.

As a person who fears 5-g, I am restricted geographically. For instance, I missed an opportunity to buy a lake property, Paddock Lake, WI, because when going to see the property, i saw it was within a few hundred feet of a 5-g tower. I fear the health effects for me and for my visiting family, especially the grandchildren who range in age from 6-11.

I believe the communication-industry profit drives the community to allow 5-g in spite of the welfare of the community. The tower near Paddock Lake, WI was on Fire-station Property. I am sure it was an economic benefit for the station, but not a health benefit for the firemen or the local neighbors. That tower was the sole reason I would not buy the home on the lake. It is not a risk I can take, though I would have loved to live there had I not been so fearful of 5-g.
