No, 5G didn\u2019t start the coronavirus pandemic. But that\u2019s not stopping the current wave of conspiracy theories and anti-5G protests. And despite the science saying otherwise, plenty of people are convinced that 5G is actually hurting them. To figure out why, Cherlynn and Devindra chat with Omer van den Bergh, a tenured professor of Health Psychology at the University of Leuven in Belgium.\nHe\u2019s extensively researched idiopathic environmental intolerance, genuine physical symptoms that arise when some people encounter electromagnetic fields, chemical substances (like fragrances), and even vibroacoustic sources like wind mills. While tests prove that these factors don\u2019t genuinely cause illnesses, the mere belief that they do is enough to cause physical reactions. Instead of just telling people it\u2019s all in their head, he argues, Western medicine might need to take these symptoms more seriously.\nAdditionally, Devindra and Cherlynn discuss the surprisingly confusing launch of HBO Max. It\u2019s basically a rebrand of HBO Now, but somehow HBO managed to bungle it. (And maybe we just have too many streaming services to manage now.)\nTimestamps:\nHere\u2019s One Reason Why the 5G Harm Myth Won\u2019t Go Away \u2013 1:02\nInterview with Prof. Omer van den Bergh \u2013 4:17\nHBO Max is Very Confusing \u2013 24:49\nWorking On \u2013 31:00\nPicks \u2013 36:22\n\nSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
