Upon taking office, the Biden-Harris Administration spearheaded a dedicated effort to address anomalous health incidents reported by our colleagues.
We also tasked the Intelligence Community to examine the causes or causes of these incidents and directed intensive research by our leading laboratories, informed by experts in and outside of government.
Our focus on these priorities remains unwavering and must continue.
As with other health challenges faced by U.S. personnel that took years to diagnose, sustained clinical, research, and investigative work is necessary to clarify what caused the symptoms our colleagues have reported, develop effective medical interventions, and prevent future incidents.
Our brave colleagues and their families, who suffered real and sometimes serious injuries, deserve no less.
Our colleagues reported unusual health events, and the Biden-Harris Administration led a concerted effort to address them as soon as we took office. Every department and agency in the United States was gathered. A. In accordance with laws passed by Congress, such as the HAVANA Act, which President Biden signed into law, the government should create new regulations to guarantee that incidents can be reported openly and without stigma, increase access to and improve medical care for impacted personnel, and offer benefits to qualified employees. Along with assigning the Intelligence Community the responsibility of investigating the reasons behind these incidents, we also directed our top laboratories to conduct extensive research under the guidance of government and non-government experts.
We must continue to maintain our unwavering focus on these priorities. The Intelligence Community Assessment was updated today, reflecting a change in some intelligence components’ key judgments and the results of continuous analysis. This only serves to highlight the importance of the U.S. S. The government keeps up important research, looks into reliable cases, and works harder to deliver prompt care and long-term clinical monitoring.
In addition to the additional areas of focus suggested by the panel of Intelligence Community experts, which concluded that pulsed electromagnetic or acoustic energy remains a convincing explanation in some cases and that a subset of anomalous health incidents cannot be readily explained by known environmental or medical conditions, we will be briefing the incoming Administration on the full scope of ongoing work that should continue. similar to other health issues that U. A. Long-term clinical, research, and investigative work is required to determine the cause of the symptoms reported by our colleagues, create efficient medical interventions, and stop similar incidents in the future. This work took years to diagnose. No less is fair to our courageous coworkers and their families, who endured genuine and occasionally severe injuries.
