I don't deny there is a 'syndrome'. But I am increasingly confident that it is a workplace injury. Perhaps it should be called 'Spook Syndrome'. There is something that those embassy people are doing or have had done to them that is the cause of it.
Previous Syndromes:
Agent Orange Syndrome caused by exposure to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War and causing cancers and child malformities. It took decades before the government would accept that it was a real 'workplace injury' and they were liable for Vets' (and their families') injuries.
Gulf Syndrome. Once again it was poo-hooed by the government for about 20 years before it was worked out that it also was a 'workplace injury' and caused by the physostigmine injections given to the troops to guard against nerve-agent gas attacks.
The government this time is also preferring to blame some shadowy adversary for 'Havana Syndrome', rather than admit that it's a 'workplace injury' and leaving themselves open to millions or even billions of dollars in Workers' Compensation claims.
Even the 'Havana Syndrome' name is a misdirection, like the 'Wuhan Virus' garbage name that was bandied about last year. There have been syndrome occurrences all over the world, even in Washington DC. Note that it isn't called 'Washington Syndrome'.
