No mainstream media outlet has covered this story so far. We can’t find it on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, or anywhere else outside of local media outlets in Tucson, Arizona, and a handful of conservative websites.
After President Donald Trump’s rally in Tucson last Thursday, 20 supporters who were seated behind him were rushed to the emergency room. They were suffering from blurred vision, facial swelling, a burning sensation in their eyes, and other problems.
ER doctors and nurses thought they had been hit by a chemical attack. Their symptoms sound like a concentrated microwave attack, or whatever sort of directed energy weapon is being used to produce symptoms of so-called Havana Syndrome.
One of the groups seated behind the president for the rally was “Latinos for Trump,” and it was their group that appeared to have the most members hit in the attack.
Let’s not kid ourselves at this point. The federal government is actively trying to murder President Trump, so his supporters are, by extension, not safe at the rallies either.
Two of the victims at the rally were a pastor and his wife. Eli and Francesca Moreno both suffered symptoms, although Francesca was much worse. She had blurred vision and facial swelling. The symptoms persisted for several days after she visited the ER. She’s now been referred to an ophthalmologist to help with her eyesight, which hasn’t recovered.
Mayra Rodriguez, who was also at the rally, was unable to open her eyes due to burning pain that started approximately 30 minutes after she left. The hospital told her they thought she had suffered a chemical burn. More than a week later, she’s still suffering from blurred vision and sensitivity to light.
“The emergency room staff, from the triage nurse to the PA asked are you sure you didn’t get sprayed with something? Your symptoms look like you got sprayed with something,” said Rodriguez.
“I can’t see anything when I try to open my eyes. I see a bright light. It hurts, it hurts a lot to open my eyes. I have this cold cloth I put on and take off constantly. It’s horrible.”
Doctors never did pinpoint what caused her injuries. As of Tuesday, her eyesight had started to return, so it doesn’t look like the blindness will be permanent. While the ER doctors thought it was a chemical burn of some kind, Rodrigues initially believed it might have been some kind of allergic outbreak. Then she heard about the other people having similar symptoms at the rally. Allergy attacks can be serious, but they don’t usually hit groups of people seated next to each other at a public event like this.
There were 48 people seated on the stage behind President Trump at the rally. The 20 who suffered these injuries were all on one side of the stage. Here’s where it gets especially strange.
The rally was indoors at the Tucson Music Hall. Thousands of Trump supporters gathered outside, but only about 2,000 got to see the speech from inside the building. Shouldn’t the Secret Service be able to secure a single building like this to keep the president and his supporters safe?
The symptoms that the people suffered sounded like a microwave attack. Most of them experienced burning eye sensations that they described as unbearable.
Another victim who wanted to remain anonymous told a local news station in Tucson, “It kept getting worse and worse, my eyes were watering a lot, my nose started running then I started feeling my face get really flushed and my neck felt like it was on fire and it just progressed from there.”
State Department workers during the Trump administration first started reporting symptoms of Havana Syndrome that included visual disturbances like blurred vision and light sensitivity. In a 2018 story, the New York Times reported that officials believed some type of microwave attack was behind the spate of bizarre injuries that they were suffering. How did someone get a beam weapon inside the building that they were able to aim at the stage without the Secret Service noticing?
The Trump campaign says it is now investigating the incident.
