Catherine Herridge @C__Herridge - Video: EXCLUSIVE: “I saw a diagnosis on my latest MRI. It's where you get holes in your brain," says a former defense department academic.
We agreed to call her ‘Kristi’ to protect her identity. In 2015, Kristi says she was attacked by a directed energy weapon while on assignment in the former Yugoslavia.
Based on our reporting, there's a false narrative that these incidents known as 'Havana Syndrome' began a year later in Cuba.

Catherine Herridge @C__Herridge - IT'S HARD TO ARGUE WITH DOCUMENTS.
This brain scan was shared with our team. RED flags abnormal findings, such as brain atrophy and brain cell death.
We were told the brain injury is consistent with a traumatic attack - like Havana Syndrome - NOT a naturally occurring neurological disease.

Catherine Herridge @C__Herridge - Video: Over the course of our year-long investigation, we spoke with a dozen “Havana Syndrome’ survivors who allege a cover-up to downplay the severity of their injuries.
While ‘Kristi’ emphasized she is grateful for her medical care, she said the denials got worse under the Biden Administration, “It’s part of this larger effort to create a narrative that these injuries aren’t real.”
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center @wrnmmc_dha confirmed receipt of our questions which included detailed allegations. We were told a response could come as early as this week.
