Reading the comments here makes me think nobody even bothered to read the article.

Right in the first half they mentioned that there was a physical representation of the illness in the brain tissue when they did a MRI scan.

This is NOT a shared paranoia, because you can't see them on a brain scan. This seems like a very real and frightening disease.

This is a reference to the Princeton study. The authors claimed to have found "brain abnormalities" by inspecting MRIs of the diplomats. Other neuroscientists criticized the study. The MRIs themselves are classified and has not been released to the public.
