Why do people question the effects of WLAN radiation while eating a burger of suspicious smell, taste and ingredients?

Yes, and they’re also the people least likely to wear masks/socially distance because they believe COVID is a big fat lie. I read something a while ago that said when there are significant advances in technology, there are always people who believe it makes them ill. When mirrors first came on the go, some people thought they made you sick and turned you ‘mad’. A piece of polished glass got the blame for all kinds of strange things. People would go around purposely smashing them because of it. In the 1960s/1970s, some people (in America particularly) were convinced chemicals in everyday objects (formaldehyde esp) were making them seriously ill. Funnily enough, the symptoms described for each of these groups of illness are all very, very - spookily - similar: headaches, nausea, tiredness, digestive problems, skin irritation. I remember when I was a child, watching a programme about a group of people who moved to the Californian dessert to get away from formaldehyde in seat cushions. They were all as you’d imagine: self-absorbed, angry at what the cruel world had done to them, emotionally fragile conspiracy theorists who knew the BIG PICTURE and thought the rest of us were just sheep. (Bah!) Strikingly similar to today, don’t you think?
