Conspiracy theories about 5G have fuelled a market for “anti-5G” accessories.

#Sigh x 10. But kinda love the irony. Anti-5G necklaces found to be radioactive https://t.co/g2TGmBw2Qo #5G "It urged people not to use the products, which could cause harm with long-term wear. There is no evidence that 5G networks are harmful to health."

Our 2017 book, The Vaccination Picture (https://t.co/zokVlyMWJ5), used art to explore the forces surrounding hesitancy and conspiracy theories. Blair Brennan's amazing work seemed satirical waaaaay back in 2017. Not so anymore. #Sigh. https://t.co/IyB1Blxx85
