The Sound: Mystery of Havana Syndrome
Mass Psychogenic Illness and Social Panic
Dr. Robert Bartholomew's book, Havana Syndrome, mass psychogenic illness, and the real story behind the embassy mystery and hysteria was published in 2020. He has arguably written more articles and peer-reviewed medical journals on this subject than anyone else alive. This isn't new, he says: It's something that's happened again and again throughout history. Think of it as the placebo effect in reverse; if I give you a sugar pill, tell you you're going to feel better, often you will. The same phenomenon explains what happened to Mary and her co-workers back on that Wednesday in 1972.
