Aggressive fumigation against mosquitoes amid a Zika outbreak in Cuba - and not 'sonic attacks' - may have caused some 40 American and Canadian diplomats and their families in Havana to suffer brain damage, a new study has revealed.

The incidents took place from late 2016 into 2018, causing President Donald Trump's administration to accuse Cuba's Communist government of using some sort of secret weapon deploying sonic or microwave technology to attack foreign diplomats.

However, research commissioned by the Canadian government has revealed that neurotoxins present in some pesticides and insecticides may have been responsible for blocking a key enzyme in the nervous system of each victim.

Doesn’t explain the exact same phenomenon reported in China.

Yeah, I don’t think I buy that as the cause. The whole island should have experienced the same symptoms if that were the cause. But they didn’t.

Did anyone else get sick other than the diplomats?

Was the fuming only being done near the embassies?

Was the fuming done by the Embassy or the Cuban government or someone else?

Those questions weed out the BS from the commies in Charge of Cuba and their mediot Rooters’ backers.

Excellent reply:

Whenever the Deep State or credentialed “experts” make implausible claims, ignore them and rely on common sense.

What ever happened to these diplomats, it is unlikely that it was either Putin’s sonic screwdriver, or bug spray.
