Kamala Harris’ flight to Vietnam delayed for three hours because of ‘health incident’ linked to Havana Syndrome
KAMALA Harris' flight to Vietnam has been delayed for three hours because of an "unexplained health incident."

"Anomalous health incident" is a term the government often uses to describe Havana Syndrome, a condition with symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, migraines and memory lapses, so named because it first was reported by US officials based in the US embassy in in 2016.
However, it has not been confirmed that today's health incident has any relation to the syndrome.
"The Vice President's office was made aware of a report of a recent possible anomalous health incident in Hanoi, Vietnam," the US Embassy statement said.
"After careful assessment, the decision was made to continue with the Vice President's trip," the statement said, without elaborating.
A spokesperson for Harris declined to comment on the reason for the delay.

A US National Academy of Sciences panel in December found that a plausible theory is that "directed energy" beams caused the syndrome, he said.
There is a "very strong possibility" that the syndrome is intentionally caused, and that Russia could be responsible, he said, adding that he is withholding definitive conclusions pending further investigation.
Moscow denies involvement.

Greene was interviewed on The Water Cooler, where she urged for Harris to be removed.
"For her to not speak out about this, for her not to fly over to Afghanistan to the Kabul airport is disgraceful, and unforgivable," Greene said.
"She should be impeached as well. All of them are complicit in this. And they knew. They knew."
Greene has also called for Biden’s impeachment several times since he took office in January.
