The longer answer
A study reported associations between exposure to radio‑frequency radiation from cell towers and changes in blood cells related to immune function, suggesting a possible link.1
Major health authorities, including the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency and a European Parliament health impact review, state that there is no established evidence that low‑level 5G radiation affects the immune system.23
Advocacy groups continue to claim health risks from mobile‑communication towers, but their assertions lack peer‑reviewed data and are not supported by the broader scientific literature.4
One honest caveat:
Research on radio‑frequency exposure is ongoing, and conclusions are based on the studies currently available.
