Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard this week pulled two Biden administration intelligence assessments that cast doubt on the idea that the mysterious symptoms that make up Havana Syndrome were caused by foreign adversaries.

The syndrome consists of severe vertigo, fatigue, crushing headaches, and hearing loss. The first reported cases occurred in November 2016, when American diplomats and CIA officers in Havana, Cuba, said that they fell strangely ill.

The cause of the symptoms has not been identified, but the two "Biden-era Intelligence Community Assessments” downplayed suspicions that the health issue was caused by some type of directed energy weapon, according to the Washington Times.

A DNI official told the outlet that the reports were rescinded to fulfill the director's commitment that she made to Congress earlier this year, where several intelligence officials agreed the reports should be retracted.

“This fulfills her promise to initiate a review of the assessments, make the findings public, and ensure the mistreatment and dismissal of those impacted by [anomalous health incidents] is never again tolerated,” the official said. 

The move is also one of the last Gabbard is expected to make as DNI. She is set to leave office later this month to support her husband as he undergoes treatment for a rare form of bone cancer.
