5G is an order of magnitude (i.e. TEN times) higher frequency than 3/4G and WiFi and my microwave oven.

So? What's the frequency got to do with it? Since the military use this band for RADAR and such like at vastly higher power outputs it's well known that it's not dangerous unless your transmitting at levels of power that are vastly higher than 5G is using.

Not only that, but it's ALWAYS ON rather than on demand.

It's only "always on" when transmitting. No transmitting, no use. That's effectively "on demand"?

The PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE should apply...until proven safe through long-term experiments. Why should that EVER be a problem, to be pretty sure about the safety of our TOYS and gadgets before implementing them willy-nilly globally?

Cool; about 60 years worth of transmitting things on that energy band without any adverse effect is a sufficient long term experiment to be sure about the safety of radio waves in this frequency band?
