9:30 The mythology surrounding Havana Syndrome
North American spies and diplomats stationed in Cuba between 2016 and 2018 reported a range of unexplained illnesses: headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue.
Some believed the symptoms were caused by SONIC WEAPONRY being used against the American agents by hostile parties.
But new studies by the National Institutes of Health in the United States of America have failed to find any evidence of brain injuries.
