The problem is that many news outlets are reporting only that it's vaping related. My local news at 5 just had a segment on this and didn't mention anything but "vaping". That's all people here.

We've only had a few lung illnesses here in Canada, but this bullshit is all over the news here today. I've already had one dipshit neighbor tell me today "that causes popcorn lung, check the news"
:facepalm:

Tell your neighbor its dangerous to get their education from the media. - notice there are millions of vapers not getting sick,,, but someone trying to get drugs is the face the media gives us clean people in order to get your eyeballs/braincells

Ugh, they interviewed this "doctor" on CTV news and she doesn't once mention what he was putting in his vape. She also claims that she believes this vaping related illness is different than the ones in the U.S and is directly related to the ingredient that causes popcorn lung :headbang:

they are hyping shit to get ratings. if playing hitler reruns got higher ratings, guess what would be on.

ratings matter. truth does not. sheeple don't have a clue.
I often wish the movie Purge was a real thing,,, we could really clean house on politicians, media/celebrities,, bosses,, mean people & those very much deserving of termination,, child molester, rapist,, violent people,,, i think in the end it would lead to a far more polite society

Diacetyl?? From where? A popcorn butter factory? Lmao.

Do these people not even know the basic facts? The amount of diacetyl or other stuff in juice is minimal. Not sure how much you’d have to vape to get sick.

But Vitamin E Acetate will fuck you up right quick!!

This is the same kind of bullshit "reporting" gun owners have been living with for decades.

There's a shooting. The "news" reports "X victims of gun violence," rather than "X-1 victims of a perpetrator's actions plus the perp removed from the gene pool." And everything is an "automatic" or "assault" weapon. They'll even report an "automatic handgun" and show a photo of a revolver, or an "assault rifle" and show a shotgun.

Face it: Journalism is dead and the pap billed as "news" these days is little more than poorly-scripted "reality" TV.

We told our son we wouldn't pay for his college if he chose journalism. We didn't raise him to be a liar. He got a bachelor in finance instead

I think it is mainly because they let themselves be used by those in power against their own best interests.
Those in power = those in political power, money power, religious power.

We see that same thing happening with the anti-vapers.

These people seem to accept what they’re fed with information, and can’t seem to be bothered to really check facts.

This popcorn lung thing is pretty blatantly false, and yet a doctor is responding like she actually believes it! I’m sure most non vapers and anti vapers will be mouthing these “facts” as if they’re true.
Only in this country could they ban something that’s clearly a harm reducing technology in the name of public health. And the children, of course. I’m sick of hearing about kids vaping already!!

Doctors are just as corrupt as the politicians.

Worse maybe, since they can really harm people with bad treatments and drugs. But they’re all corrupt. I don’t like going to the doctor and try to avoid it if I can. I think it’s better to try to eat right and stay healthy than go to a doctor who’s gonna want to give you meds for everything. And BP meds, no less.

I’ve heard that doctors now really do consult the internet about their patients’ ailments. Or what prescription to write, most likely!

they have a program that they click the box's and it gives recommendations. me, i find this a very good thing.
