Yesterday, PBS Newshour aired a long, dubious report about new TBI cases during the ongoing war on Iran. Was this a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome by PBS?
PBS left it very ambiguous about how many TBI cases were actually diagnosed so far in the ongoing Iranian war.
Since US personnel is not involved in ground combat operations there is actually little reason to suspect any new TBI cases with the exception perhaps TBI affecting those US military personnel stationed and attacked in Gulf States.
Supposedly, there were over 540,000 TBI cases diagnosed in US military personnel since 2020. This seems to be awfully many cases.
This seems to be a very serious case of overdiagnosing TBI in US military personnel. The reported TBI symptoms are very common symptoms like headache, dizziness. Apparently, there is no specific, accurate diagnosis available for TBI other than exposure of a soldier to some explosion and these common symptoms.
