If you're concerned about the radio cooking your brain, just line your hats with aluminum foil.

60 ghz & negatively impacts oxygen and making the hemoglobin (a protein) unable to carry oxygen molecules making you unable to breath

I'm not saying that microwave beams aren't dangerous enough to boil someone, but there's a reason we shut off microwave transmitters while people go up to maintain them. People hear "radiation" and think about nuclear fallout. Non-ionizing radiation heats stuff up, it doesn't break chemical bonds. We have been using high powered directional 39GHz (Verizon's 5G band) / 60GHz microwave radio for decades now, and if you've been to the airport I have bad news for you.

So, I bet a lot of people see science graphs like this and misinterpret them: Atmospheric "Oxygen Absorption"

It's talking about how much radio signal is lost in the atmosphere. I can confirm that trees stop my wifi, since the water absorbs the radio waves (radiation), and the trees are fine.
