Popular Late Night TV Comedy Skit Makes Fun of 5G Opponents in NYC

By B.N. Frank

Opposition to 5G is increasing worldwide. This has limited, slowed, and/or stopped deployment in some locations but obviously not everywhere. Concerns about and opposition to it have been growing in the U.S. as well for numerous significant reasons including dangerous aviation interference risks (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). In New York City neighborhoods, opposition has been ongoing since 2018 when residents first reported they were getting sick – as were their pets – after it was activated. As deployment expands, so has resistance to it by residents as well as legislators (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Of course, not everyone seems to be taking their concerns seriously, including writers for NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” who ridiculed them in their opening skit on April 15, 2023:

In 2019, telecom executives gave congressional testimony that they had NO independent scientific evidence that 5G is safe. No mention of that in the skit.

No mention either in the skit that in 2021, a federal court ruled in favor of petitioners who sued the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for NOT updating wireless radiation guidelines (including 5G) since 1996.

All things considered, it seems reasonable that New Yorkers and countless others would NOT want 5G towers installed next to their homes and activated throughout their communities. High-speed broadband can be achieved more safely and securely with hard-wired internet connections (see 1, 2) and Americans have already paid for safer and more secure broadband options (see 1, 2)!

Since 2017, doctors and scientists have been asking for 5G moratoriums on Earth and in space due to biological and environmental health risks (see 1, 2, 3, 4) and the majority of scientists oppose deployment. Since 2018 there have been accounts reported worldwide of people and animals experiencing symptoms and illnesses after it was activated (see 1, 2, 3, 4. 5, 6, 7 ). Some researchers have also warned that activation may be contributing to COVID-19 infections as well as hundreds of thousands if not millions of bird deaths.
