A USB flash drive may store many files, but does it "radiate a multitude of life force frequencies that promote the overall vitality of the body, tailored to each individual's absorption capacity?" I didn't think so.

It definitely does not have a "wearable holographic nanolayer catalyzer" either. In layman's terms, it's a very expensive sticker.

As reported by the BBC, a regular USB flash drive is being marketed as offering "full spectrum protection" from 5G radiation. called "5GBioShield," it costs $350 and is the product of "decades of research" and is the result of the 5G mobile network standard (which has not been proven to be insecure) to supposedly keep you and your family safe.

Before you scoff at the price, consider that this USB drive is also supposed to protect you from other technologies like cordless phones.

"Through the process of quantum vibration, the 5GB BioShield USB Key balances and reharmonizes the interfering frequencies resulting from the electrical fog caused by devices like laptops, cordless phones, Wi-Fi, and tablets," BioShield says.

We don't know exactly what electrical fog is, but as a disassembly analysis by Pen Test Partners revealed, the device is a 128 MB USB drive, and the product FAQs describe it as if such things were hard to come by.

"This is a real USB key!" the FAQ states.

"It protects and informs at the same time. There is a master file that explains the basics of this technology.

This is probably the only true claim about this device. This is nothing more than a generic $6 USB drive with what appears to be just a "regular sticker" inside.

"We can't say that this sticker doesn't have additional features not used anywhere else in the world, but we're confident you can judge for yourself on that," said Pen Test Partners. Digging further into the device, there appeared to be no electrical or other connections between the device and the "sticker" and no additional components other than the USB stick.

According to the BBC, Tony Hall, one of the nine members of Glastonbury Town Council's 5G Advisory Committee, endorses the device.

"We have been using the device and it has been helpful," Hall said, adding that the 5GBioShield "has also made us feel 'settled' at home."

Earlier this month, Business Insider reported that arsonists set fire to 77 cell phone towers in April because of conspiracy theories about 5G Internet; there is no link between 5G and the coronavirus.

BioShield has sold enough of these flash drives that they are now on backorder.
