Extensive scientific evidence provided by experts, regarding the alleged «sonic attacks» on U.S. diplomats in Havana, refute theories put forward by the government of this country to explain the incidents, used to fabricate false accusations against Cuba.
Experts in attendance reconfirmed that the initial explanations lack scientific support.
The main objective of the international forum on the alleged health incidents that occurred in 2019 was «to arrive at the truth with a frank scientific discussion,» according to Dr. Mitchell Valdés-Sosa, CNEURO director.
Valdés-Sosa highlighted the critical and respectful nature with which the evidence was discussed «in order to reach the best conclusions» and the depth of analyses carried out.
The search for scientific truth has been obstructed the U.S. government, which has never allowed direct contact with diplomatic personnel reporting heath problems. Cuban specialists have only seen studies conducted by the universities of Pennsylvania and Miami.
During the debate, which included the participation of researchers from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Cuba, several specialists agreed that the term Havana Syndrome «is a media fabrication,» and that «There is no evidence to indicate that a new disease exists,» and that the accusations «do not stand up to serious scientific analysis.» (Taken from en.granma.cu)
