They already pulled this from a medical journal so i'm going to copy paste it here:
MONTREAL (October 19, 2015)-- Researchers from White River Junction VA Hospital, in Junction, Vermont, will present a case report of acute inhalation lung injury related to the use of e-cigarettes and a flavored e-cigarette liquid containing diacetyl.
The case study presented involves a 60-year-old cigar-smoking male who was admitted with weakness, chills, and cough. No significant radiologic abnormalities were found, but he was treated with ceftriaxone and azithromycin and discharged after three days feeling normal. One month later the patient presented with similar symptoms. Additionally, he had a fever and was hypoxemic. On examination, he had bilateral upper lung zone crackles and bilateral upper lobe predominant ground-glass opacities on chest CT. After further questioning, the patient reported using strongly flavored e-cigarettes prior to each admission. The patient was diagnosed with inhalation injury and suspected acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis related to electronic cigarette use. The patient did not use e-cigarettes again and had no further symptoms. A follow-up CT scan and pulmonary function test at three months were normal.
E-cigarette liquid contains nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and flavorings. Recent reports estimate that 69 percent of sweet flavored liquids contain diacetyl. Diacetyl is used to produce a rich, buttery flavor and has been tied to a 2000 report in which eight former employees of the Gilster-Mary Lee popcorn plant developed bronchiolitis obliterans. The case garnered significant media attention and OSHA subsequently recommended respiratory protection for all workers in microwave popcorn production. Since that time, bronchiolitis obliterans has been referred to as "popcorn lung" or "popcorn worker's lung."
"The use of e-cigarettes in the United States is increasing rapidly and the flavorings used, many of which contain diacetyl, may be harmful. This case adds to the growing body of research indicating e-cigarettes pose a health risk," said Dr. Graham Atkins, of White River Junction VA Hospital, lead researcher.

Only problem is acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis IS NOT popcorn lung!!!
Popcorn lung disease = (bronchiolitis obliterans)
Popcorn lung is chronic acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis is obviously acute (it's right there in the name)
It blows my mind that this was peer reviewed and accepted in a medical journal!!!
Who peer reviews this shit??? Toddlers? Monkeys?
"acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an inflammatory condition of the lungs associated with the inhalation of an antigen (organic dust, animal proteins, bacteria or other material) which basically causes an allergic reaction"
Dr Farsalinos caught on to this:
Medical journal MISPRESENTS a case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis as popcorn lung disease caused by e-cigarette

They just make shit up to scare people now.
Even worse this lying piece of shit is going to present this as a case of popcorn lung caused by vaping at an upcoming conference!!!
