RT.com has run a story calling these 5G coronavirus links "baseless conspiracy theories" [0]. In another story they say the same thing, and talk about "expert scientific studies repeatedly concluding that the high-speed communications system does not pose a threat to humans" [-1].

This is interesting because RT.com in 2018 and 2019 was one of the major source of baseless anti-5G health stories. Examples:

• 5G Wireless: A Dangerous 'Experiment on Humanity' [1]

• Could 5G put more kids at risk for cancer? [2]

• How To Survive Dangers of 5G [3]

• Cancer risk? 5G wireless speeds could be dangerous [4]

• ‘Totally insane’: Telecomm Industry ignores 5G dangers [5]

RT.com videos on YouTube average over 1 million viewers per day, which is higher than any actual news outlet, and their claims are then repeated by many blogs and social media sites and other websites and then others pick it up from there, often losing the attribution to RT.com along the way so [6].

I wonder what caused RT.com's apparent flip on 5G?
