Regarding: "It would be nice if the Times article devoted more ink to studies showing 5G to be safe, instead of 95% focusing on how the claims that it is dangerous are shaky, and barely mentioning studies proving its safety."

There have been no studies showing 5G to be safe, because there have been no studies on 5G.

The fact that 5G is not commercially available does not mean there have been no studies. A quick Google Scholar (or whatever) search could have cleared that up for you. Here's the link to save you from typing it in: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?&q=5g+safety+radiation

Very interesting, so there are a few studies! Thank you for pointing this out, I had been under the impression that there were none whatsoever. I am not sure what conclusions can be drawn from these few studies at present (I found four or five on the Google Scholar link). It would be interesting if someone with the requisite technical background could read and assess them. (And the question of funding, as discussed in the Guardian article I linked to in another post, is also relevant, as empirically speaking, industry-funded studies on the whole do lead to significantly different results from independently-funded studies).
