[CEP Note]: Some residents of Burbank, a community strongly opposed to irradiating the public with hazardous cell tower emissions, attended this town hall meeting, first of two, to express their opposition to their municipality allowing the installation of “small cells” to facilitate 5G. They encouraged their elected officials to join the towns who protect their residents from what hundreds of independent scientists insist will be very harmful exposures from the close-range 5G small cells. One resident stated she’d get rid of her smart phone and any cell phone, in protest.

Manoogian said he understands Burbank officials can do little to stop phone carriers from upgrading their network devices to be 5G-compliant, but added that cities in Northern California — like Fairfax and Mill Valley — are looking to fight the FCC.
“The city needs to, if it chooses to … oppose the federal law by opposing the ability for this 5G network to be put in and be sued to fight this in court,” Manoogian said.
Sherman Oaks resident Nektar Chamchyan said she’s not looking forward to the increased Internet speeds the 5G networks claim they will bring nor the health risks she thinks they will cause.
In fact, she told the panel she’s considering ditching her smartphone for a more basic cellphone and that she’ll do away with Internet services altogether.
“I’ve decided I will be opting out of my smartphone for a flip phone, and if that’s not going to work, I’m going to stick with a landline,” Chamchyan said. “If 5G is going to be deployed everywhere, then that’s my decision.”
