There's a wide spectrum of radio waves, so it's impossible to conclusively prove that there's no frequency which might be consistent with reports of Havana Syndrome, but nobody has proposed one and I see no strong reason to believe it exists. The microwave auditory effect is the closest I'm aware of, and my understanding is that it would explain only the weird audio perception. Remember that this entire EM spectrum idea is the second proposed mechanism. When Havana Syndrome was getting off the ground, advocates thought it was a directed sonic attack - many of the early victims claimed to have recordings of it!

Look up ionizing radiation, that’s what you need short of sheer directed power. Obviously radio/microwave frequency waves can affect the flesh in concentrated enough power. However the symptoms from “Havana syndrome” are all over the place. We’re all just slabs of meat to some potential real version of this, and it should have been fairly similar symptoms across the board.

If you imagine a weapon that does some damage to whatever part of a person's brain it's aimed at, but not the whole brain, then it doesn't seem a leap to think that it could cause different symptoms in different people depending on how much damage gets done to which bits of the brain? Not that I think there is some secret weapon in this case, I'm just responding to your point about people being the same as each other with the thought that surely brain damage could lead to a wide range of different symptoms.

Don't straw man. The point is that the 95 gigaherz waves used in the system mentioned above don't even penetrate the skin.
