I'd love to know how we went from it being a neurotoxin to it being a microwave: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/havana-syndrome-neurotoxin-en...

It didn’t. The source report lists both of those.
Sorry, the article or the report? I don't see anything in the article.
The summary of the report is the first hyperlink in the article. It mentions:

> Multiple hypotheses and mechanisms have been proposed to explain these clinical cases, but evidence has been lacking, no hypothesis has been proven, and the circumstances remain unclear.

Which is very different than the press stories stating that it was "likely caused by directed microwaves." I guess "Havana syndrome report has no clue what happened" isn't as catchy.
I missed that. Thank you kindly. :)
