10/26/21 Cheryl Rofer on the Shoddy Science behind Havana Syndrome
Scott is joined by writer and chemist Cheryl Rofer. Rofer penned an article back in May that debunked the increasingly popular theory that numerous American intelligence and diplomatic personnel were in fact the victims of a targeted microwave weapon. Rofer points out that all of the supposed evidence can be explained away. On top of that, the theoretical weapon itself does not even make any sense and can certainly not explain the alleged cases.
Discussed on the show:
- “Claims of Microwave Attacks Are Scientifically Implausible” (Foreign Policy)
Cheryl Rofer is a writer of scientific and political commentary. She was a chemist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory for 35 years.
