Mass sickness on international flights in 2018: flu or microwave sickness?
Claire Edwards
Posted 21.1.22, updated 8.4.22
Between 1 and 11 September 2018, large numbers of passengers on five separate flights became ill with flu-like symptoms. Flu symptoms are easily confused with electromagnetic radiation (EMR) sickness symptoms. Could this have something to do with new WiFi systems having just been fitted on planes, connecting them to the Viasat satellite? Previous on-board WiFi had been connected to ground-sourced WiFi.
This series of incidents may go some way towards explaining why so many passengers on board cruise ships keep going down with "Covid". All cruise ship passengers and crew must be fully vaxxenated, yet cruise ships are repeatedly hit with "Covid". We need to be aware that cruise ships are now fully equipped with 5G and facial recognition and passengers are given pendants or arm bands to wear that connect them directly to 5G. Here are some of the incidents:
These were the flights affected in 2018:

12 people aboard became ill with flu-like symptoms, a day after a similar outbreak on a flight from Dubai to New York.
All 250 people on two separate American Airlines flights from Munich and Paris were “held for a medical review” as a precaution, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was notified, Philadelphia International Airport spokeswoman Diane Gerace said.

Dubai to New York, 5/9/18 — flu
Mystery Illness on Quarantined Plane Is the Flu: NYC Mayor's Office

The mystery illness that sickened at least 19 people on a plane from Dubai to John F. Kennedy Airport Wednesday has been confirmed as the flu in at least 10 cases, the mayor's office said Thursday.
All 10 patients hospitalized after the nightmare flight will be kept in Jamaica Hospital as a precaution, New York City Mayor press secretary Eric Phillips said on Twitter.
The health department added, "The tests showed no illness beyond influenza or other common cold viruses, and we expect all 10 people to be released from the hospital soon."

Passengers fall ill on Virgin flight from Melbourne, 11/9/18
https://au.news.yahoo.com/passengers-fall-ill-virgin-flight-melbourne-220738485.html
Passengers have been screened on the tarmac at a New Zealand airport after a number became ill during a flight from Melbourne.
There were 157 passengers onboard and it’s understood some were presenting flu-like symptoms.
EMR exposure has been labelled non-ionising radiation, while nuclear radiation has been labelled ionising. Ionising radiation is said to have enough energy to free electrons from the atoms or molecules they are attached to, while non-ionising radiation is said to lack the energy to break these molecular bonds. However, some argue that the distinction between ionising and non-ionising radiation is an artificial one. It has further been argued that current uses of EMR produce results that make the effects of so-called non-ionising radiation identical to those of so-called ionising radiation. Here is the evidence that symptoms of exposure to radiation closely resemble those of flu:
Electromagnetic (cell phone tower or microwave) radiation hazards

Besides radioactive sources, electromagnetic radiations (EMR) cause considerable health problems. As ionizing radiation hazards are relatively of higher magnitude, their occurrence can be attributed to nuclear accidents or dangers of modern warfare. The EMR on the other hand may be less dangerous but the exposure is continuous, and has become a part of our daily lives and is the manifestation of modern life-style products usage.

Signs & Symptoms of Radiation Sickness
Two visible, potential signs of radiation sickness are nausea and vomiting. Since shock or pain can also cause nausea and vomiting, they are not necessarily an indication of radiation sickness. The symptoms must be weighed against the dose received to determine whether they indicate radiation sickness.
Another symptom is a high fever.
All three of these symptoms resemble those of many common illnesses, including the "flu" and the common cold.
And here is the evidence that American Airlines and Virgin America had recently teamed up with Viasat to enable intense Internet usage on their planes, meaning that many passengers could simultaneously download and watch videos, thereby exposing all the passengers on the aircraft to intense EMR.
100 new American Airlines aircraft to be equipped with high-speed Internet (13/8/2018)
https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2018/08/13/100-new-american-airlines-aircraft-to-be-equipped.html
In all, about 200 of American airline's domestic narrow-body aircraft either have Viasat or Gogo 2Ku systems on them, an American spokesperson said. The split between the two system providers is about 100 each.
In its quarterly earnings report, California-based Viasat said it activated 122 aircraft with its system last quarter, and a majority of those were retrofits for American aircraft. Viasat currently has 757 aircraft in service, with plans for another 854 aircraft (not counting the 100-aircraft deal it secured with American) under existing contracts.
But a new wave of Wi-Fi systems — which have signals that go from the plane, to satellites, and back to the plane — are much faster and gaining market share with carriers. American has fewer aircraft equipped with air-to-satellite capability compared with air-to-ground, but the disparity is shrinking.

Some of the world's largest airlines are switching to Viasat: the best rated Wi-Fi in the sky. Find out why. Now operating on JetBlue, Virgin America, United, and EL AL, Viasat in-flight internet service is coming soon to American Airlines, Qantas, Finnair, SAS and Icelandair. Industry experts and passengers agree, it’s the Best Wi-Fi In The Sky.
ViaSat-2 Launch date: June 1, 2017
ViaSat-2 will have more than double the capacity of ViaSat-1, and seven times the geographic coverage.
In addition to residential and business internet service, it will provide high-capacity coverage for mobility services for airliners, ships and other aviation and ocean operations.

“Additionally, our partnership with Virgin America bringing Netflix to air travelers took flight in the quarter, demonstrating that video is the litmus test for in-flight internet service,” Dankberg continued. “JetBlue’s upcoming video streaming partnership with Amazon will show we can uniquely scale video streaming at a time when airlines are beginning to see the benefits of delighting passengers with high-quality connectivity. With about 1,100 aircraft in total enabled with our in-flight internet service, we have network flexibility and scale to ensure the highest quality streaming experiences at 35,000 feet – with speeds reaching upwards of 20Mbps per device. This experience is proven daily on JetBlue, Virgin America and United Airlines with as many as 148 simultaneous active devices, and many of those using streaming media, on any given flight across our entire network. We’ve also seen similarly strong results in performance on flight tests for government applications.”

Here are some of the incidents:
- Covid-19 outbreak reported on Royal Caribbean cruise despite fully vaxxed adult passengers - of course not, because it's caused by 5G! 20.12.21
- US Navy Warship Pauses Deployment After COVID-19 Outbreak Among ‘100 Percent Immunized’ Crew, 25.12.21
- Oh, no! Not another one! Fully vaxxenated Holland America cruise ship turned away after Covid-19 positive tests reported, 26.12.21
- And another one: ‘100%’ vaxxenated cruise ship hit with Covid-19 outbreak - it's because cruise ships are saturated with 5G - this is the proof! 28.3.22
