Keri Hilson Dragged On Twitter After Suggesting 5G Cell Networks Caused The Coronavirus

B.D.

Keri Hilson, where the f**k did you get this from?!

The Knock You Down singer is making headlines after floating a truly bizarre conspiracy theory late Sunday about 5G cellular data networks being somehow tied to the ongoing worldwide coronavirus outbreak. You know, just another extremely normal night online… sigh…

It all started over on Twitter, where the 37-year-old (AKA old enough to know better) singer posted screenshots of “evidence” suggesting the networks caused electromagnetic interference harmful to humans:

Hmmm…

Undaunted by almost immediate backlash, the singer moved on to Instagram, where she posted a video of a man explaining how every modern pandemic of the last one hundred years has followed a “major electrification” of the earth. The man went on to make the connection that the roll-out of 5G technology across China was the impetus for the coronavirus, as you can see by watching the clip (below):

5G was invented in…you guessed it—CHINA. It launched Nov 1, 2019 in 50 Chinese cities with btwn 86,000-130,000 5G base stations by the end of 2019. The 3 largest network operators worked together in a race to be FIRST…only 5 months after retrieving 5G licenses. Those vids we saw of people in China literally dropping dead out of nowhere?? Eerily close to the Nov launch. In a 2019 Netflix Documentary, Bill Gates himself warned of a global health pandemic that would originate in China. Researchers & organizations have done studies, made petitions, and issued warnings of the dangers of 5G over the past few years. A quick search will produce them. Residents of Australia have filed assault charges against phone companies—and WON. Lastly, while we were wondering if the virus was resistant to melanin as Africa went untouched for quite a while, could it have been because Africa is not a 5G region (on the whole)? If some African countries have launched pre-installed 5G network bases as of yet, there are certainly not as many as on other continents, by far. I saw this vid on my friend @chakabars page this am & researched the entire day. Not sold? It’s a lot. I get it. That’s fine. But Google or Youtube affects of 5G, EMF exposure, electromagnetic frequency, & radio frequency radiation for yourself… 👀 And to those like me who want to take any measures of protection against it—(although the towers are more dangerous)—you can protect your home & family by going to ur phone Settings to disable LTE under “Cellular Data Options,” which knocks your data speed down to 3 or 4G. Top right corner will show you which network ur on. Also, turn your phone on Airplane Mode or Power them off when not in use or while you sleep. And keep them away from your bodies as much as possible during the day. I’m not an expert on anything. This is a think piece. The post intrigued me & illustrates a possibility based on the facts above. And please watch in entirety before commenting. I’m sure we all got time today…😏🙇🏾‍♀️

Ummm… does this man (and Hilson) understand correlation does not equal causation? Where’s Bill Nye when you need him, or Neil de Grasse Tyson?? Can we get a scientist over here, please?!?! The singer then capped off the questionable video with a multiple-paragraph diatribe about electromagnetic frequencies, the lack of 5G technology in Africa, and why you should put your phone in airplane mode at night.

“I’m not an expert on anything,” Hilson wrote in the conclusion along with her post, in what’s possibly the understatement of the decade.

“This is a think piece. The post intrigued me & illustrates a possibility based on the facts above. And please watch in entirety before commenting. I’m sure we all got time today…😏🙇🏾‍♀️”

Ooookay, Keri!

Twitter, do your thing!

Why drag the Pretty Girl Rock songstress for this bat s**t crazy thing when so many thousands of Twitter users already have?!

To wit:

LOLz!!

And more:

One user summed the year up so perfectly:

“Keri Hilson being a 5G truther (?) is another curveball that could only exist in 2020″

And another said what everybody was thinking when reading Keri’s contention:

“keri hilson thought she made a groundbreaking discovery and thought we wanted to hear all about it, now she getting laughed at by all of twitter”

One hilarious user knew things were bad before even looking at the conspiracy content:

“Keri Hilson trending with no album during a pandemic cant be good. I don’t even wanna check.”

And another got more to the point about celebrities and some of their, um, strange opinions:

“Keri Hilson actually believes 5G network causes the Coronavirus. This is why we should be worried about the platform fame gives otherwise stupid celebrities who happen to have one or two talents.”

But with the news cycle in general as insane as it is right now, this pretty much perfectly summed things up for us:

AMEN!!!

Keri, lay off the 5G bull s**t… we’re already dealing with Donald Trump‘s stupidity during this pandemic, we don’t need you falling down the rabbit hole, too! Get it together!
