Cuban scientists refuted the existence of the so-called <\/span>\u201cHavana Syndrome\u201d<\/span><\/a> and the narrative that supports it, according to which the health incidents suffered by U.S. diplomats in the Cuban capital, and more recently in other world capitals<\/a>, are due to a single ailment resulting from attacks against them.<\/span><\/p>\n

A technical report prepared by a group of experts from the Cuban Academy of Sciences (ACC) concluded that \u201cthe evidence used to support the \u2018mystery syndrome\u2019 narrative is not scientifically acceptable in any of its components\u201d and that said narrative \u201chas survived thanks to a biased use of science, in which dissenting points of view have been suppressed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Mitchell Vald\u00e9s-Sosa, director general of the Cuban Center for Neurosciences (CNEURO) and head of the committee of experts, said that the evaluation presented this Monday constitutes the first document in which Cuban researchers examine all aspects of the problem based on all the published information, on close consultation with foreign scientists and on the police report of the Cuban Ministry of the Interior.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the researchers, the evidence points to the possibility that some U.S. employees located in Havana felt ill due to a heterogeneous collection of medical conditions, some pre-existing before coming to Cuba and others acquired due to simple or well-known causes.<\/span><\/p>\n
