AIUI, we spend our existences bathed in RF energy from across the spectrum, from all sorts of cosmic and terrestrial sources, and it’s not a problem until it is too powerful/concentrated. TV, 5G, GPS etc. signals are far too weak to be an issue unless you are right up close to a transmitter.
Edit: Yeah, what you said above ^

unless you are right up close to a transmitter.
When I got my radio amateur license in the 90s there was a whole section on RF safety. Quite easy to get cooked or shocked if you get too close to high power transmissions but we are talking very high indeed. I.e kilowatts. Admittedly problems can happen from regular exposure to medium power transmissions up close.

Worth also mentioning that we've been bathed in similar frequencies to 5g for decades without even knowing. There's a blanket of geostationary satellites that use similar frequencies as 5g for downlinks. Emergency service radio networks use point to point Comms on similar frequencies too. Pretty much every cell tower in the UK uses similar frequencies to 5g to form a mesh network.
Edit: Starlink, iridum and inmarsat uses V-band and K-band just like 5G. Wonder if anybody has felt any negative health effects from the starlink constellation yet? :D
