I just love that there are dozens of more plausible explanations for Havana Syndrome that are supported by evidence but each of them come with an uncomfortable truth that America cannot admit.

So it must be laser beams.

Definitely can't be that people in high pressure jobs can have mental breakdowns and that a lot of what they describe can be explained by anxiety disorders, regular effects of aging, and long covid.

I keep saying this, and it's not exactly disagreeing with you per se, but I want to reinforce that it's not necessarily anything at all, even stress.

But the collections of symptoms attached to "Havana" are ones quacks pitch at marks the world over.

You will see the exact same collection of things called chronic lime, gluten sensitivity, toxins, qi imbalance, misaligned vertebrae, and a million other things.

Because everyone has occasional unexplained headaches, nausea, fatigue, or depression.

Sometimes they coincide. And some people get them more often than others. It only takes a little magical thinking to attribute it to something else you noticed in your life.

That annoying sound (crickets). That evil machine what they keep talking about on the news.

Probably a number of cases cropping up since Congress made a disability fund for it too.

A CIA guy said that Havana Syndrome doubters are gaslighting the survivors

There's nothing that I could do to a CIA agent that would make me feel bad. Not a single goddamn thing.

Oh? So you'd not feel bad about saluting them and praising their contributions to world peace?

it only now occurred to me, if anyone had believed this was real, why didnt the Russians use their brain ray gun in Ukraine at all?

That's more or less what thinking people said about the whole brain ray thing as soon as it came up. If the Russians can just melt anyone's brain at any time with no notice, then we might as well call Putin up and surrender.
