What is the truth behind the 5G coronavirus conspiracy theory?

Barrie Trower is a conspiracy theorist and says 5G is to blame for the rapid spread of COVID-19. He believes it degrades the immune system and that the dangers are being covered up by powerful forces in the global telecommunications industry.

Scientists confirm that COVID-19 is transmitted via respiratory droplets, and that you cannot transmit droplets through 5G waves. Many of the hardest-hit countries have no 5G infrastructure. Iran has over 114,000 cases - and no 5G masts.
