That "5G causes bird deaths" video from last week had zero real evidence

I checked the sources they cited and found two of them were just opinion blogs, not actual studies. Anyone got a link to real research on this?

My friend Sarah actually tried to look up one of those citations from a similar video about bees and cell towers. She found the link went to a personal blog that had been deleted, but the Wayback Machine still had it saved. The blog was literally just someone's opinion piece with zero sources, nothing close to a real study. She spent two hours digging through Google Scholar after that and still couldn't find a single peer-reviewed paper backing up the claims.

Did they even look at the citations or just copy paste from each other?

You ever actually try to find the original source they cited? I spent three hours once tracing a quote they claimed was from a 2018 study. Turned out the study didn't even exist, they just made the whole thing up. My advice is to grab one of their citations and look it up yourself. If it's a dead link or says something completely different, you'll know they're full of it. Then you can call them out with receipts.
