Will take a lot more evidence for me to buy that Russia is the cause of this:

Not saying that this is what it is, but the tech is there:

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I think that kind of RF technology is also used by plastic surgeons to do facelift (radiofrequency skin tightening) kind of work.
I had similar treatment (Photodynamic therapy "blue light") for pre-cancerous actinic keratoses. This feels like your face is going to melt off, it feels really hot. The first time I was treated with it, it was painful.

Researchers with the National Institutes of Health published a pair of studies on Monday that found few clinical differences between patients with a mysterious ailment known as “Havana syndrome” and healthy comparison groups.
In one study, NIH researchers took a closer look at the brains of people who were believed to have Havana syndrome and found no consistent evidence of brain injury and no significant differences between that group and a healthy comparison group.
In the second study, scientists ran a battery of tests on 86 US government staff and family members who reported Havana syndrome, comparing them with 30 people who had similar jobs but had no such symptoms, and found that by most clinical and biomarker measures, the two groups were the same.

I guess it's possible that this is like those cops who pass out due to fentanyl exposure?

My only criticism is that the first study looked at MRI anatomical changes in the subjects.
Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there.
Same for the "biomarker" tests.
D2 still suffers from the residual of her COVID. Breathlessness, parosmia, etc. Chest X-ray, pulmonary functions, blood work all normal.

How is her taste and smell? I remember you mentioning that it was quite bad for a long time.

60 Minutes did a followup of the story.

Surprised?
Nope.

As any detective would ask, what is the motive for covering up? It is not like Cuba is our strategic partner or anything like that.

@George-K said in Havana Syndrome:
This man is in charge of the nuclear force.
That made me think. I would assume that there is some sort of "2 factor authentication" before anything could be done with our nuclear bombs, right?
I dont think that the president could just say, "fire all the bombs at Russia" and it would be done?

The short answer is yes, the President is the SOLE person who can authorize the use of nukes. That being said, what really happens (he doesn't have a button, he doesn't have launch codes) is he asks/orders his senior officials to execute the order. Ultimately a number of senior officials and military individuals are involved in carrying it out. If the order was as you said above (i.e., asks for it out of the blue), I'd imagine there would be senior officials who would refuse the order.
Some good articles, at least read the first bits...
