5G: Can Someone Convince Me 5G is Dangerous?

Every time a new wireless technology is released there are a lot of people claiming it's dangerous.
As far as I can tell, cell phone signals and WiFi have actually been getting safer over the years.
I understand why some people think 5G is more dangerous: Higher band frequencies above 24 GHz reaching up to 72 GHz (as opposed to older technology being 5 GHz or less). Also the reach of the signal is shorter, so more cells (towers) are required - meaning the source of the signal is closer to you as well.
And we know that the military has created weapons that use sound frequencies to disable people (
sonic weapons). But the
strength of the signal would actually be one of the main factors that determines how dangerous it is. For example, with the sonic weapons, "tests performed on mice show the threshold for both lung and liver damage occurs at about 184 dB." However, it takes
a lot of power to get to 184 dB.
For comparison, most wireless routers (WiFi) in a home output at about 250mW (1/4th of a watt), some do get up to about 1W, but those are uncommon.
"Antenna transmission power is anywhere between 250mW (expressed as 24 dBm) for a Small Cell, and 120W for the largest 5G MIMO arrays (which is 50 dBm). A typical 2G, 3G, or 4G antenna has got a transmission power of 20W (43 dBm)."
"A Small Cell is comparable to a WLAN access point, and you can come pretty close. We assume a distance of 10 m and get a path loss of 7.3+37.6=44.9dB. Subtraction of path loss from transmission power gives 24dBm – 45dB = -21dBm, which corresponds to approximately 8 µW. (µW is the 1 millionth part of a Watt)"
"A 5G macro cell antenna will be placed up on a tower or on the roof of a high building. Height above ground is thus some 30 m, and we assume a position in 100 m distance from the antenna. Path loss can be calculated to as =82.5dB.
The received power is 50 dBm – 82.5 dB =
-32 dBm, which is less than one µW." (
source)
Mobile phone comparison: "The phone next to your head is transmitting at a maximum about 200mW (which is 23 dBm). That is at least 10,000 times more than the signal received from the tower. Typical transmission power values of phones are a lot lower, though. The base station at the tower controls the power of the phone. It sets phone transmission power to a level so that all phone signals are received at approximately the same strength. If you are near a tower, your phone will transmit at a minimum level (which is below one milliwatt, again). Only if the reception from the tower is very bad, your phone will be commanded to increase transmission power. It may sound crazy, but: more mobile base stations mean less overall radiation levels.
"The power of phone transmission has gone down since the first generations of mobile communication. In GSM phones were allowed to transmit up to 1.0W (sometimes even 2W)" (
source)
So, older cell phones were seemingly more dangerous.
Can anyone add some additional data/evidence of why 5G might be dangerous? Is there something I'm missing regarding this? I would like to be better educated on this topic.

It's microwave radiation so i'm sure it isn't good for you but I doubt that it's any more dangerous than any of the other technologies that you pointed out.

Maybe we should just beta test the whole world with this new tech, see what happens, see who can deal with it and who can't. What do you think? Let's not bother actually testing it for safety first. What could possibly go wrong?

Right, but the danger is based on the strength of the signal not just the fact that it's a micro-wave.
What I'm looking for is evidence that 5G signal strength will or won't be at dangerous levels.

You are correct. It would be less dangerous than older phones.

One reason I'm wondering about this topic is I don't want to just automatically assume "microwave = bad", without understanding more specifics of 5G and how it works.
This has some good info. Doesn't necessarily answer some of my specific questions but was very helpful:

It is dangerous because it allows monitoring devices to be placed anywhere and have upload capability, meaning you have nowhere to hide.

Doesn't 4G have upload capability or do you mean there will be fewer dead zones?

4g can still do high resolution video in real time. People do it all the time with facetime and video streaming from their mobile devices.

5G is supposed to be everywhere, which is why it costs 2 trillion dollars. When you travel a lot, you find out that 4G is fairly sparse. Most of the places I have driven lately don't even have cell service once you get off the interstate.

4g is not at all sparse. 5g may have more coverage but basically anywhere that has even small populations of people has 4g coverage.
This surveliance network is already in place with 4g. Look at the size of the data center in Draper. Your license plate and location is likely already recorded at least once a day. If not by a camera on a patrol car, by a fixed camera somewhere on the roads or stoplights.
We have already sold ourselves into bondage. We are like the people of Zeniff in the BOM. The only way we are getting out of it is to repent and beg god to deliver us.

Also, I can tell you certainly that I have always slept better away from WIFI and cell phone signals. I also didn't believe that electromagnetic frequency was a big deal, but everyone I know experiences the same thing when I point it out.

Sorry. I have my own experience to go off of. I have seen charts of where signal should be and it's not there.

After looking into 5G further, It's possible that the typical 5G to cell phone signal might not be dangerous. It would likely be a low power signal being sent and received from your phone. I wouldn't advise against holding a cell phone directly up to your head much but it's likely safe a few feet away from you (i.e. use it with earphones/headset).
NOTE: I would be interested in specific data regarding what power level (and distance) the 5G ultra-band signal becomes harmful to a person. That's not entirely clear to me.
The danger is probably in what the 5G technology could potentially be used for. It adds increased options for government tracking and surveillance. And... simply boost the power of the tower and now you've got an effective microwave weapon that can be used for disabling people to various extents.

Since I work wireless internet for a living, you'd think I would have looked more into it, but I really haven't.
Something interesting for the common folk, though: Your typical Wi-Fi router broadcasts on the same wavelength (2.4 GHz) as your microwave oven. I think most people hearing that would jump to the conclusion that our phones are cooking our brains. But, where is any actual evidence of that? Maybe if an EMP took out all the electronics we would "feel" the world get very "quiet", but honestly, we have so many waves passing through us at any given moment that not having a cell phone would really not make any difference.
I had heard about the fact that devices broadcast 10,000 times what is heard on the other end. The main concern is if people are going to tower sites and climbing or standing in front of microwave links because yes, at that amperage, your future children are going to get a bit steamed.
As far as the danger of higher GHz waves, by the time you get into 60+GHz the beam is so slim that it is hard to aim 2 dishes at each other across a street. Not much chance of that hurting anyone, unless it was being used purposefully to target people, maybe.
