Authorities Warn That 'Anti-5G' Necklaces Are Actually Harmfully Radioactive In Ironic Twist

The Authority for nuclear safety and radiation protection (ANVS) in the Netherlands warned the public about ten products–like necklaces and other accessories–that they should avoid using after tests showed they gave off harmful ionizing radiation.

The ANVS said one of the products raising a red flag was a necklace claiming to block out 5G radiation.


The ANVS issued a statement, saying:

“Don’t wear it anymore, put it away safely and wait for the return instructions."
“The sellers in the Netherlands known to the ANVS have been told that the sale is prohibited and must be stopped immediately, and that they must inform their customers about this.”


A recent study from the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment found consumer products claiming to have "negative ion" properties, such as jewelry and eye masks, "can contain radioactive substances that emit so-called ionizing radiation."

The United States outlawed selling these products.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, ionizing radiation can adversely "affect the atoms in living cells and thereby damage their genetic material (DNA)."

"Fortunately, the cells in our bodies are extremely efficient at repairing this damage. However, if the damage is not repaired correctly, a cell may die or eventually become cancerous."

While the study pointed to evidence the "anti-5G" necklace was actually detrimental to our health, there is no evidence 5G itself is a health risk.

That hasn't stopped conspiracy theorists from attacking the fifth-generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks.

They claimed the telecommunications technology used by mobile networks helped spread COVID-19, even though the countries that had a rapid rate of COVID-19 infections didn't even support 5G.

The conspiracy theory started because the launch of 5G networks coincided with the start of the pandemic. But correlation does not equal causation.

And to be clear, viruses cannot travel or spread via the electromagnetic spectrum.

Twitter was quick to point out the irony of the radioactive effects of the very product that was thought to "protect" the 5G-fearing mob.












PC Mag said U.S. state authorities, like The Utah Department of Environmental Quality, had also warned consumers about negative ion products that can actually emit harmful radiation by incorporating uranium or thorium.

The Washington State Department of Health said on their website they found "unacceptable levels of radioactive material" in some of the tested products, adding, "Although being exposed to these items for short periods of time do not pose an immediate health threat, we want to make sure people are not exposed to unnecessary radiation."

They continued:

"The items are advertised as having negative ion technology, quantum scalar energy, volcanic lava energy, and quantum science. Items include pendants, wristbands, kinesiology tape, and other personal items."
"They are advertised as a way to maintain health, balance energy, and improve emotional well-being. Some also claim to protect people and pets from electromagnetic fields (EMF)."

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
