The National Institutes of Health studied Havana Syndrome over the course of nearly 5 years. News of their findings came in March 2024.

The research team found no significant evidence of MRI-detectable brain injury, nor differences in most clinical measures compared to controls, among a group of federal employees who experienced anomalous health incidents (AHIs)

These incidents, including hearing noise and experiencing head pressure followed by headache, dizziness, cognitive dysfunction and other symptoms, have been described in the news media as “Havana Syndrome” since U.S. government personnel stationed in Havana first reported the incidents.


Researchers designed multiple methods to evaluate more than 80 U.S. government employees and their adult family members, mostly stationed abroad, who had reported an AHI and compared them to matched healthy controls


Leighton Chan, M.D., chief, rehabilitation medicine and acting chief scientific officer, NIH Clinical Center, is a lead author on the papers.

It's not IMO a conspiracy theory much, because about 200 have been affected so far, and Russia wants TCF.

I hope someone close to him is at least entertaining the possibility.

From what I have read, symptoms are similar to a concussion, which also doesn't show up on a MRI.

If so, he should slack off on anything strenuous if he experiences a recurrence of any symptoms.

Thanks for this. I think you might be on to something. Or probably not.
