Investigators Find Clue to Mysterious Vaping Injuries
- dmix 7y agoThis would be a good time to check old HN and Reddit threads for all of the hysteria and “we told you” stuff being spread after this originally hit the news. I also noticed a bunch of health agencies took advantage of the headlines to stir up fear around using them. I was immediately suspicious that after half a decade (or longer) of being popular that all of a sudden people started dying out of nowhere. If it was the same stuff causing it there would have been a gradual increase in cases. The early warning signs that it was shady black market weed cartridges also wasn’t a big surprise. The vendor I’ve used in the past posts lab tests for all of their vape products to show there was zero adulterants and they were doing it before the big scare. Now we see that it was 100% vitamin E all along.
