Tales of a butt hurt reporter.

First we have this article that is the most confusing thing I've ever read.
If I knew nothing about vaping when I started reading then I would know wrong information now.


Early Signs of Vaping Health Risks Were Missed or Ignored

Basically this guy has somehow deducted that PG, VG, formaldehyde and/or diacetyl is somehow relevant to people dying from bad cut in THC carts.

Of course it's not because our (nicotine) vaping has a different base so it's impossible for nic eliquid to have anything to do with this.

So Dr Farsalinos decided to point out the obvious flaws

The witch hunt against e-cigarettes continues while people get sick from illicit THC and remain uninformed

What happens next?

The Author of the garbage story who obviously never met anyone who vapes gets butthurt and puts this out:

Scientists Are Working Overtime to Debunk the Vaping Scare

When all you have in a scientific debate is "But... But... But... Look!!! A vaping advocacy group funded this guy before!"
You have already lost.

Sadly the misinformed idiot doesn't care about facts and neither does most of the public or politicians.

You have already lost.

If "lost" is defined as being factually overthrown, then yes.
Unfortunately, facts have had very little to do with any of this since the beginning.

So few real reporters today.

It is a major problem in this country.

I am kinda like Sgt Friday.
"Just the facts maam".

The sad fact is that journalism has dramatically declined in the US. An entire crop of young, poorly educated and over confident have replaced the journalists who knew how to investigate, expose and write.

Today, journalism consists of going through old social media to find shit and present it as news. It's truly sad and depressing to watch this happen.

And this was printed by Bloomberg and one of his articles cites Glantz. Alarm bells should have gone off!!

But folks who are anti vaping will believe this bullshit, since it’s easier to buy into it than to think outside of their box.

Thanks, Sick. I’ve been missing reading the Good and the Bad.
