Can you think of a legit reason to deploy 5G on a global scale; without evaluating the risks, or asking for input from the public?

Faster data speeds, really. As far as evaluating the risks goes, I completely agree testing must be done. If you read my post my issue is with needless speculation and fear mongering, not whether the technology should be tested before implementation.

Public opinion can be a tricky thing. Like I said in my post, people jump to conclusions and spout conspiracies with little to no actual evidence. I feel the public should be informed, but sometimes the public has no fucking clue what they're talking about as well.

My question has nothing to do with data transfer rates.

Can you think of a legit reason to avoid testing, and avoid providing testing methods and test results to the public?
Note: Any reasonable answer should include some theorized rationale, which could justify avoiding safety testing.

i don't know the answer to this and it's too late for me to go down a research hole, but did they do this kind of safety testing for telephone lines, internet lines, 4G, etc?

Don’t Hold Your iPhone Too Close to Your Head, Apple Says So.

Most (all) cell phone manuals indicate that you shouldn't hold your phone next to your head.
