The title seems misleading, from the article: "Noises linked to mysterious injuries among US diplomats in Cuba were most likely caused by crickets".

>"The 2018 JASON report, which was commissioned during the last administration, is not aligned with the Biden-Harris administration’s understanding of AHI [anomalous health incidents] and it has not informed our response," said a senior administration official, in a statement sent to BuzzFeed News.
>"Because of the acknowledged shortcomings of previous studies, this administration has purposefully established a new panel of experts from across the Intelligence Community, academia, and the private sector with access to the full range of information available to the government to help us determine the cause of these incidents and generate new insights that can help protect our personnel.”
- SpicyLemonZest 5y agoIt's hard to fully capture the context here in a headline, but the report isn't just talking about the noises. They conclude that the prevalent theory of some kind of directed energy weapon is "highly unlikely", although they don't claim to fully rule it out or definitively identify another cause. The fact that the Biden administration is commissioning another report doesn't indicate much about whether their conclusion is right; there's all sorts of reasons to commission a report.
