RE: Mainstream media caught LYING to public about "Vaping Crisis"!
The ONLY danger that has been identified is Myclobutanil
Why do you say that when the article you link to clearly also implicates Vitamin E acetate (a solvent), and doesn't even address the cause of the non-THC vaping cases. Do you think myclobutanil is responsible for the nicotine vape-related cases as well? If so, why?
NBC's vape cartridge testing is anecdotal, not scientific. They did not source cartridges that are directly associated with the cases the CDC is tracking. The sample size is also too small to make any definitive claims about anything. At best their tests suggest that black market vape cartridges can be dangerous, but because we do not know exactly how or where they sourced these cartridges even that is tenuous (they only tested 3 cartridges from legal dispensaries and who knows where they bought the illegal ones).
[....]it appears the public (and the media) have already forgotten that the mystery was solved!
It seems very far from solved.
Why hasn't Myclobutanil been mentioned by the CDC, even though NBC's lab results showed a month ago that it is in EVERY suspect sample?
"We have no idea what's causing this! But it's probably lack of government control, or THC, or vaporization. People should return to smoking, and stay away from cannabis, and only use government products." - CDC
Anyone pretending "we don't know what's causing this for sure" is suspect.
Especially anyone adding "the public should avoid cannabis products, vaporizers, and anything not legalized and regulated".
This crisis has been brought to you by: Big Tobacco and Big Pharma.
I hate to give government agencies the benefit of the doubt, but perhaps its because they have not identified myclobutanil as the cause of the problem (yet). The CDC and the FDA say their investigation is in progress. Here is what they claim they are currently doing:
https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/basic_information/e-cigarettes/severe-lung-disease.html#what-cdc-is-doing
You say that the CDC is telling people to only use government products, but that is incorrect. They recommend people stop vaping entirely, regardless of whether the vape product is legal or illegal.
The information coming out from both the government and the media is confusing and not particularly helpful.
