Bolivia Villagers Destroy 5G Masts Over COVID-19 Fears
Bolivian teacher Wilfredo Negrete Jaldin lifts his bike carrying a board on his way to his students’ homes in Aiquile, Cochabamba department, Bolivia, on June 12, 2020. – Negrete rides his bicycle for several kilometers to give lessons to his students at their homes amid the new coronavirus pandemic. Multiple telecoms masts were destroyed Monday by Bolivian villagers who feared that 5G technology could transmit coronavirus, media reports said.
According to the conspiracy theory, electromagnetic radiation causes the symptoms of COVID-19, not a virus — an idea debunked by scientists. “We were overwhelmed,” said Villazon, likening the incident to a “terrorist attack”. No serious violence was reported by police.
