Even after the CIA interim report last year in January, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen continued to claim that the 'Havana Syndrome' had been caused by Directed Energy Attacks (see post 1,406):

Quote:

Taking Care of Federal Government Employees Affected by Directed Energy Attacks
Senator Shaheen built on her progress to ensure that all U.S. personnel and their loved ones suffering from anomalous health incidents (AHI) – also known as Havana Syndrome – get the medical attention they deserve. The bill includes legislative language allowing the Department of Commerce and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to address the medical needs of their employees or dependents who are likely victims of these attacks.

She still hadn't changed her mind about this in December of 2022:

Quote:

1. Support for Americans Affected by Domestic Energy Attacks by Securing Provisions that Improve Access to Medical Care, Help Investigate AHIs and Improve Interagency Coordination:
“For years, I’ve worked to secure medical benefits for victims of anomalous health incidents and ensure a whole-of-government response to identify the cause of these attacks.
(...)
In FY2022 government funding legislation signed into law, Shaheen added language to allow the Department of Commerce and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to address the medical needs of their employees or dependents who are likely victims of these attacks. Absent this language, neither the Department of Commerce nor the FBI would be permitted to provide funding to assist their employees who are AHI victims. Senator Shaheen has been a leader in supporting American public servants who have incurred brain injuries likely from directed energy attacks. In October 2021, the President signed legislation Shaheen helped lead, the Helping American Victims Afflicted by Neurological Attacks (HAVANA Act), into law.

I don't know if she is one of the people who got a personal call from CIA's Mr. Burns, but now, after the ODNI report, she seems to have stopped referring to the 'syndrome' as anything other than "anomalous health incidents (AHI)":

Quote:

Those recovering from anomalous health incidents (AHI) while serving our country deserve the medical care they need to get well. Full stop. I asked Dr. Lester Martínez-López & @DHADirector to commit to this & will keep pushing other admin officials to do the same.

This should be interesting! I'm nowhere near California on April 19, but I hope that I'll be able to watch it on Zoom:

Quote:

April 19, 2023 1:00p.m. - 2:00p.m. Online (pre-registration required) Robert Baloh, MD, Professor (Emeritus) of Neurology and Head and Neck Surgery, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA

In one of the most extraordinary cases in the history of science, the mating calls of insects were mistaken for a “sonic weapon” that led to a major diplomatic row. The lecture will trace the origins of the syndrome, the response of the U.S. government, the results of scientific investigations and opinions, the evolution of the syndrome over time and similar phenomena that have occurred in the past.
