Reuters: Some U.S. visitors to Cuba complain of symptoms similar to embassy 'attacks': U.S.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A “handful” of private U.S. citizens who traveled to Cuba say they have experienced symptoms similar to those suffered by American diplomats in mysterious health “attacks” in Havana, the U.S. State Department said on Friday.
A State Department spokesperson, who declined to be named, said the agency could not verify the claims but said travelers should heed its travel warning issued last Friday.
The warning urged Americans to stay away from Cuba because of unexplained health “attacks” it says have caused hearing loss, dizziness, fatigue and cognitive issues among at least 22 diplomatic personnel.

"Health attacks" is quite a vague term. Do we even know the attack is in fact soundwave based? Hearing loss, fatigue and dizziness can also be caused by low blood pressure or something that's causing it.
Why would anyone support a government that inflicts
Such pain on its people ?
It almost sounds like the complaints people who live near wind turbines have.

Ask Bob Huntley
Nick. I'm not sure which government you mean.
If Cuban certainly some people within range of the source of the "Whatever it is" may be suffering too. Maybe if they are and now that the US staff are gone the problem, if it was intentional, may go away but we likely will never know.
If the US and in respect to my comment about wind turbines which according to people who live near them do cause problems, some of which are similar to what was reported to be happening to the staff in Cuba, then your question might be answered with a general statement or question. In the past 50 years or so when has the US government ever considered the health and well being of its citizens as a matter of course, generally speaking and why haven't they?
It makes sense! Cuba wants to establish trade and economic interests with the US, so they batter our citizens to show how welcome they are. Not sure? ask A. S.
