Microwave Weapons Are Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers
Okay I&#x27;m skeptical.
On the one side some &#x27;bad other&#x27; could be using an undefined device to attack only American people, only in foreign lands, and for uncertain reasons. That narrative conveniently fuels paranoia and makes for good reading. Alternative explanations exist, based on well established medicine, which I think need air time, link below.<p>Now, I&#x27;m all for exciting stories but this one keeps being resurrected without evidence I&#x27;d find compelling (namely lesions on MRI, quantifiable deficits in function, or signs and symptoms that prove neural damage). Indeed all the features of this particular syndrome appear better explained by functional, rather than structural, disease.<p>Of course the possiblility of acoustic or electromagnetic weapons being used exists until proven otherwise, but in light of what is known, it seems unlikely to me.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2018&#x2F;aug&#x2F;14&#x2F;cuban-acoustic-attack-report-on-us-diplomats-flawed-say-neurologists" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2018&#x2F;aug&#x2F;14&#x2F;cuban-acoustic...</a><p>Declaration of interests: I&#x27;ve worked with Prof. Stone.
