'Havana syndrome': US baffled after new cases in Europe
Four more US diplomats working in Geneva and Paris have fallen ill with a suspected neurological illness known as "Havana syndrome", US media report. Three diplomats became sick in the Swiss city and one in the French capital last summer, with some 200 people affected over five years.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the American government was working to get to the bottom of the mystery. There are fears an adversary may have targeted diplomats with microwaves. Mr Blinken said the issue had been raised with Russia but no determination had been made.
[...] A more innocent, but also unproven, theory is that those who got sick suffered from a mass condition brought on by some stressful underlying situation.

After several years of this how hard is it to put microwave detectors in all embassies and at least eliminate this hypothetical cause? Certainly isn't a cost issue

Amazon and/or the vendor probably maintain a list which would answer your question.
When trying to solve a problem don't ask who suffers from the problem, ask who profits from the problem.

It's useful propaganda. Helps with paranoia and conspiracy mongering - there's a BOOGIE man out there. Quick, watch some television I believe Lock Up and Cops are on marathon.
