Like one of those serialized television products, the saga of the so-called "Havana syndrome" is back in a new season.
The never-ending soap opera always appears on the scene at convenient moments. It is a matter of not letting it disappear, of not letting it fall into oblivion, taking into account the damage it has already done as a tool to justify the tightening of the economic blockade and the worsening of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States.
This time, an internal review board of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) decided to close a long-term study of patients suffering from "Havana syndrome" because it found no signs of brain damage in them, according to several U.S. media.
Jennifer George, NIH spokeswoman, said that, in addition, the internal review found that "informed consent" policies for joining the study were not followed due to coercion, although she did not clarify on whose part such action on patients occurred.
Meanwhile, the study's lead author, Dr. Leighton Chan, supported the spokeswoman's thesis, and said they were stopping the study as a precaution, adding suspense to the "spooky syndrome" plot.
One of the theses handled by the media involves even the CIA and members of the Government in the attempt to hide "the true medical results," which show, according to them, the existence of brain damage in children and adults, in an act of mimicry, worthy of a better cause.
No, ladies and gentlemen, manipulating the perception of reality is an "old trick" to hide the truth and achieve an end with absolute impunity, regardless of the means to achieve it.
The so-called "Havana syndrome," used by extreme right-wing elements in the United States and the Cuban-American mafia to justify a tightening of policy towards Cuba, and to reinforce the idea that Russia and China constitute a threat to world security, is a big lie.
"The United States lacks the evidence to blame other nations for the existence of sonic attacks against its citizens, at home or abroad," published The New York Time in August 2021.
The statement came after a meeting convened by the Director of National Intelligence, Avril D. Haines, in which the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, exposed that on the "unexplained health incidents" there is no evidence to accuse any country, nor is there any certainty that microwaves are the cause of the diseases.
Multiple scientific evidences provided by investigations refute the theories used to explain, "conveniently", the causes of the incidents and to wield false accusations against Cuba.
Specialists from the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, China, Russia and Cuba, among others, agree that the coined term Havana syndrome "is a media fabrication" and that the accusations "do not stand up to serious scientific analysis."
