Incentives matter
Why are so many random government agents claiming to be suffering from Havana Syndrome?
The devil is in the details…
The HAVANA Act, which passed in 2021, gives an untaxed lump-sum payment of one years' salary to government employees with a "neurological injury."

(To be clear, I do take the Havana Syndrome allegations seriously, but the broader equilibrium is worth pondering too.)
