What is Havana Syndrome and what do you think about it?

[msc545]

Havana syndrome is a set of medical symptoms that have affected U. S. and Canadian diplomats, intelligence officers, and other government officials stationed in Havana, Cuba, and other locations around the world. The symptoms include headaches, dizziness, hearing loss, and cognitive difficulties, among others.

The name "Havana syndrome" originated from the first reported cases in Havana, Cuba in 2016, but similar incidents have been reported in other countries as well, including China, Russia, and several European cities.

The cause of Havana syndrome is still unclear, but it is believed to be related to some type of directed energy weapon, such as a microwave or radio-frequency device. However, some experts have disputed this theory and suggested that the symptoms could be caused by other factors, such as a psychogenic illness or exposure to a toxic substance.

The US government recently said it was NOT caused by an energy weapon, but doesn't know or won't say what causes it.

The syndrome has raised concerns about the safety of diplomats and government officials overseas, as well as the potential for new types of weapons that could be used against them.

Wearing full business suits on a tropical island is going to make anyone's head spin. Natives dress down as possible beating the heat.

Occam's razor people. People have a hard time dealing with different climates and different food and everything goes sour in the stomach and head. Now suddenly your responsible for avoiding ww3 while not shitting your pants.

Havana syndrome could be just an inside joke for the greenhorns in the intelligence agency being nervous jitters today. It's NOT caused by an energy weapon but we don't actually know and the newbie spends a sleepless night freaking out.

@naultd You've not read the studies and reports, and you have no idea what the symptoms are, do you?

[NaultD]

headaches, dizziness, hearing loss, and cognitive difficulties, among others.

Just going on vacation on a plane can do that to people. People doing a job for national security can happen and more likely to happen.

[msc545]

nope - not the cognitive difficulties and not the hearing loss.

That was in your first paragraph i copied and pasted.

Or is pressure from airplanes impacting your inner ear not a thing? Also jet lag is a thing effecting sleep.

[msc545]

Airplanes pressurize airplanes to ambient ground pressure to allow people to keep breathing. Jet lag do not cause the symptoms we are talking about.

[NaultD]

Ear pain and sleep loss not a thing with air travel?

[msc545]

Ear pain very occasionally, sleep loss hell yes until you get off the plane.

Interesting question. The Russians are not above testing such weapons on diplomats.

It's more likely related to equipment the US military and inteligence agencies are using as its happened in multiple embassies

[Leopard23]

At first they thought it was an attack by a Directed Energy weapon of some kind and some sort of attack on US personel it'd happening in other countries involving US inteligence and military personel as well as their families. Its largely now been dismissed as psychological. In my opinion its a good bet that some sort of top secret listening device, communication device or scanning device that US military and US intelligence is using across the globe is causing it and of course can't admit it because it's top secret and vital to operations.

They won't likely admit to it for at least another 20 -40years until all those in charge who were aware of the effects are either dead or to old to be held accountable. Also helps with compensation payments if the victims are dead. Before you say that's just a conspiracy theory I'd just like to point you to gulf war syndrome that the US Military and government ignored for as long as they could. It wasn't a conspiracy theory.

For instance a buddy of mine used to carry ECW jamming devices in Iraq for IEDs and went completely bald, ended up with a low sperm count and developed a tumour.

I don't think it was anything more than a belief spread among a relatively isolated group of people.

[msc545]

It has happened in different places among groups of people, not in contact with each other, and the symptoms are all the same and persistent. I think it probably IS a toxin.
