Seems to me that we can forgo some measure of higher speed internet in order to preserve our ability to study and forecast the weather (and so the climate.)
I put no stock into the health scares, but reading about how these frequencies may interfere with scientific research and perhaps even natural processes in nature makes me question the value 5G actually would provide.
Why exactly do we need this? Is this about people making money? What benefit does this provide aside from high bandwidth wireless entertainment?
