@CherylRofer How do you explain the mechanism of psychogenic illness? — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@awgaffney Dr. Gaffney, what is your evidence that these are definitely caused by a mass sociogenetic illness? As in, do you have proof or are you substituting an educated but untested hypothesis for a definitive answer? — PolitiTweet.org

@ayanaeliza Area Man Known for Divisiveness Worried About Causing More Division — PolitiTweet.org

I read the headline and LOLed. https://t.co/dVDAWxLrTG — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@KarenAttiah Probably just a coincidence. — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@CherylRofer I know. An honest question: do you think that what anywhere from 200-300 people, many with security clearances, are reporting is real? And if so, what do you think is causing it? — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@CherylRofer Sure! — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@Sco_Joh Fully agree. And you don't have to gaslight people who are in real pain. — PolitiTweet.org

@platitudes_r_us No, the argument is we use directed energy to *treat* cancer, by focusing a beam of radiation at cancer cells to destroy them. — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@platitudes_r_us How...do you know that? — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@EdCara4 Have you read this? I thought it was really interesting: https://t.co/mQ1EJO0096 — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@EdCara4 That's the only way to be! I just don't understand people's absolute certainty... — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@EdCara4 And it doesn't mean that, in the intervening 60 years, people haven't been doing more research on this, including on how apply it. Look up, for example, Ilya Romanchenko. Again: there's still a lot we don't know. But we also know enough not to dismiss this out of hand. — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@EdCara4 Thank you for doing actual reporting! Seriously. You're one of the few. That said, are they neurologists who have actually worked on this issue/with these patients? Because not everyone in a field will know/understand something that's still emergent. — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@EdCara4 They don't say it's impossible, they say there are simpler ways to harass people. Which...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
Anyway, I love everyone on Twitter who went from being a Russia expert to a plane crash expert to a virology expert to a neurology/directed energy expert. Impressive range, really. — PolitiTweet.org

They found that each group, including the HS group, had a distinct pattern to their reflexes (thus providing a potential diagnostic tool for HS). You can't fake your eye reflexes. Nor is this what happens to your brain/pupils with a panic attack. — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@dandrezner P.P.S. For people who think these are panic attacks or hangovers (?!), take a look at this paper, which analyzed the pupillary light reflexes of a control group, a group with TBI, and people who have Havana Syndrome. https://t.co/mQ1EJO0096 — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
P.S. @dandrezner I love you, but come on. — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
Or, you know, talked to someone. — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
As I wrote, there's a lot we still don't know and civilian leaders are being extra careful about getting the attribution right. That said, it would be great if everyone opining on this read something other than other people opining on this. https://t.co/jUi00b2LX8 — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
Re: crickets. Diplomats in Havana who heard a crazy sound went outside to try to record what they heard on their phones. But because what they were hearing was not sound, their phones picked up crickets. What the diplomats "heard" was the "Frey effect." https://t.co/hLUYzyvz6z — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
Is your argument really that this is just too weird for Russia to do? You know, the country that would fuck with elections in Madagascar just 'cause? Like, what are you going off of there when you say it's "implausible"? — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
Also, how are you going to say that it is implausible that the Russian security services, which love doing weird shit like killing people with poison-tipped umbrellas and putting military grade nerve agent in a Nina Ricci bottle and putting polonium in tea, wouldn't do this? — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
Or the fact that the U.S. government already has and has publicized having a directed energy weapon? (Though this one is thermal.) Or the fact that some countries, like the U.S. and Russia, have been researching exactly this for *decades.* https://t.co/7aX1Afuxc8 — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
To be clear: we don't yet know what is causing this or how. But if we're going to get meta and have humanities folks talk knowingly about the implausibility of directed energy weapons, how do you square that with, say, radiation cancer therapy, which is energy directed at cells? — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
We are now firmly in the writers-writing-about-what-other-writers-have-written phase of exploring the mystery that is Havana Syndrome. Rather than doing actual reporting to clear up the mystery, commenters are commenting on other commenters' comments. https://t.co/H3axgwP20r — PolitiTweet.org

@conradhackett Ohhh, I see. My bad. Thanks for correcting me. — PolitiTweet.org
Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe
@conradhackett Right, sorry. Half of politically conservative evangelicals. — PolitiTweet.org
