British university study links coronavirus 5G phone mast attacks to anger and paranoia

Psychologists from Northumbria University spoke to more than 600 people for their study into the conspiracy theory that has gone worldwide.

Psychologists have discovered that people who believe in conspiracy theories linking coronavirus to 5G are more likely to feel justified to have a violent response towards the technology, amid a series of attacks on 5G phone masts.

Despite experts stressing there is no link between the latest telecoms technology and the spread of the coronavirus around the world, there have been arson attacks on masts and engineers have been verbally abused since the start of the pandemic.
