"While this is not a confirmed case at this point in time, we take any reported incident ... quite seriously," said White House press secretary Jen Psaki, adding that the incident was reported recently and affected one U.S. staffer at the embassy, not a member of the vice president's team. "She is well. All is fine," Harris's spokesperson Symone Sanders told reporters before her departure from Singapore.

Spokesperson Ned Price told reporters that they"vigorously investigate" all"unexplained health incidents and provide"immediate and appropriate attention and care" to employees who report one.

Too bad she didn’t stay!!

A case of nerves from a bad case of Potomac Fever is a better explanation. Bidens getting ready to move on and she's getting her instant foreign affairs expert merit badge to make it appear she's ready for the step up.

Possible Havana syndrome case delays Harris trip to VietnamVice President Kamala Harris’ trip to Vietnam was delayed several hours because of two possible cases in Hanoi of the so-called Havana Syndrome. The syndrome is the name for mysterious health incidents first reported by U.S. personnel in Cuba. Who is assaulting our personnel? Now there’re doing it proximal to a visit by the back-up President? In my opinion, news outlets should not use the word 'likely' to describe unsubstantiated reports about unsubstantiated health issues which may or may not be linked to attacks with magic ray guns. Because it's ridiculous and you look foolish. Stay safe Madame Vice President 🙏 Your strength and vigor will lead you through this. My family will light a candle for you during our lunch prayer. Stay Strong ✊
