This is hysteria. Week one, years ago for this story, physicists said this is not possible, still stands since physics is still the same - BBC - "The syndrome is unexplained, but US scientists say it is most probably caused by directed microwave radiation."

And you are being played by the state department here, they know it's hysteria, they have seen it before, but there is no reason for them to correct it internally or externally. It fits with cold war lite with Russia.
