When the first reports of diplomats at the American Havana Embassy falling ill
were caused by microwave injuries it seemd quite implausible. Now it seems more incidents have emerged, and the Frey effect, discovered in the early 1960's, at least indirectly supports the idea microwaves can have lasting non-
thermal effects on humans. The article is at https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/19/us/politics/diplomat-attacks-havana-syndrome.html?searchResultPosition=1

There are links within the article to the Frey effect.

I recall accounts of telephone engineers installing line-of-sight
microwave links being unable to sire children because their gonads were
damaged by microwave radiation. But that would have been heat--Fry not
Frey, if you'll excuse the pun.

If anybody can shed further light please do. I always though microwave injuries were exclusively thermal.

Thanks for reading,
