5G attracts more goobers than Flat Earth. I'm not saying it's good, but it's been attributed with every power from mind control to interdimensional travel and soul stealing, so conflating it with Covid/Vax is unsurprising. It's very possible that it will cause harmful interference, especially with the altimeters on aircraft. The scheduled C-Band rollout that was supposed to happen on Wednesday had me pretty worried, as my son was flying home from overseas that day. They delayed the rollout, but it's been in use in Europe for a while now without any airliners falling out of the sky. C-Band in the US is just below 4 GHz, which means a plate glass window will block it. Not a very good mind-control method! Newer wifi is 5.8 GHz and your microwave oven is around 2.4, as is older wifi, just for comparison.
I would imagine that it's possible people are sabotaging the towers.
