The NIH study into the mysterious illness has only stoked animosity among victims, some of whom claim the CIA made them participate as a prerequisite for obtaining care at Walter Reed.
“They wanted us to be a lab rat for a week before we actually got treatment at Walter Reed — and at bare minimum that is unethical and immoral,” said Polymeropoulos, who believes that this was “ordered” by senior leadership at the agency.
No diagnosis! Only treatment! 
Damn those Russians for getting CIA agents blackout drunk with prostitutes
they don't believe in the invisible ray gun invisible assailant's state affiliation 
I thought Russia was too poor to have paved roads, but you're telling me they have a mystery ray gun that the US doesn't have? Despite the US spending roughly 900 trillion dollars on the MIC?
They spent all their money on secret underground supervillain lairs where they come up with bizarre superweapons. Here's a diagram:
Wait, that's something else, sorry
We were told that we could help overthrow Russia and collect a nice juicy medical pension early. Instead all we got was public humiliation and a future being unemployable elsewhere and unpromotable here! Waaaaaaaaaaah!
Feds hate them, use this one weird trick to never have to work again!
Sounds like they're not Havana very good time 
so what happened to these people? nothing, and they're just liars? long covid? CIA experiment? bad work safety regulations while fumigating the office, so they got dosed with pesticide?
Hangover is my guess
a hangover doesnt last for years, so why are they still whinging?
And let a good grift go to waste?
Somehow a 1950s Catskills comedian does some topical 2024 standup.
"So a man goes to the doctor with a problem."
"Man says 'Ya gotta help me, doc. My head hurts. I'm very frustrated that the CIA isn't blaming Russia for my symptoms."
"Doctor says 'I'm very familar with that. I've got something I can recommend.' "
"Man says 'Thank you so much.' And the doctor gives him a business card for the Interfaith Help Center.
"Man says 'What the heck is this?' rudely."
"Doctor says 'I'm a doctor. Not a rabbi.' "
I'm gonna have to ask you to explain the joke to me, because it sounds sketchy as shit
I'm Jewish. I wanted the punchline had an exorcism but I couldn't get it to work. And then I didn't want "...not a psychiatrist". The idea is that the doctor doesn't believe at all that it's an actual medical problem.
Got it, thanks!
