One reportedly occurred near the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this point, at this moment, we don\u2019t know the cause of these incidents, which are both limited in nature and the vast majority of which have been reported overseas,\u201d Psaki said in answer to questions. One of the incidents happened last year near the White House Ellipse, sickening a national security council staffer. In another, a White House official reported feeling symptoms while walking her dog in Arlington, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C, the Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9557239\/White-House-acknowledges-mysterious-health-attacks-dubbed-Havana-syndrome-occurred-U-S.html\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the past few years, there have been several incidents affecting U.S. embassy personnel, including two that made diplomats in Cuba sick \u2014 prompting the nickname \u201cHavana syndrome.\u201d \u201cDozens of Americans have been diagnosed with a range of symptoms, including traumatic brain injuries, with several describing bizarre experiences like strange noises and sensations. The U.S. government has acknowledged cases in Cuba, China, Uzbekistan and Russia \u2014 but there are media reports of other countries now, too,\u201d ABC News <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/white-house-acknowledges-mysterious-health-attacks-occurred-in-us\/10597853\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the exchange between Psaki and a reporter on Friday:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"77\">\n<p><i>Q: Thanks. There have been a number of media reports in recent days on a series of newly reported cases, over the past 12 months, of Americans experiencing \u201cHavana Syndrome\u201d at home and abroad, including CIA officers, U.S. troops, and U.S. government officials in the Washington area. So a couple of questions on this: How concerned are you about these newly reported cases over the past couple of months?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>PSAKI: Well, first let me say that the health and wellbeing of American public servants is of paramount priority to the administration, and we take extremely seriously reports by our personnel of anomalous health incidents.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Our national security staff is working closely with agencies and departments across the federal government to address unexplained health incidents that some government employees have suffered, and to ensure the safety and security of Americans serving around the world.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>And we are, of course, investigating incidents in which personnel have reported experiencing sensory phenomena, such as sound pressure or heat, concurrent with or followed by physical symptoms, such as sudden onset vertigo, nausea, and head or neck pain.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>At this point \u2014 at this moment, we don\u2019t know the cause of these incidents, which are both limited in nature and the vast majority of which have been reported overseas. So right now we are working to investigate, taking every report seriously, and our national security team is overseeing that process.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Q: You say the vast majority have taken place overseas. How many cases have been reported to have occurred in the United States?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>MPSAKI: I don\u2019t have any more specifics on reported incidents. I\u2019m happy to see if there\u2019s more we can provide on that.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Q: And how many cases total have been reported over the five years that this phenomenon has been known to us?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>MPSAKI: It\u2019s an excellent question. It\u2019s limited, but let me see if there\u2019s a more specific number we can provide to all of you.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Q: And my last question on this: What is the NSC doing that is new? That \u2014 again, over the five years, three administrations \u2014 we\u2019ve seen this phenomena \u2014 phenomenon occur. What\u2019s new that they\u2019re doing to try to get to the bottom of it?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>PSAKI: Well, I can\u2019t obviously speak to what the last administration did or didn\u2019t do. What I can tell you is that our team is coordinating a full review of intelligence reporting to ascertain whether there may be previously unreported incidents that fit a pattern.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>We are also working closely, as I noted, with agencies and departments across federal government to address unexplained health incidents that \u2014 sometimes they\u2019re reported in to different agencies and it hasn\u2019t all been gathered into one place. So that\u2019s how you can look at it across the board and see if there are patterns. So that\u2019s a way we are approaching it. And I can\u2019t, obviously, assess how that compares with past administrations.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
