#2 Wow 5 in the all the United States. PANIC, DANGER!
BTW, how many have died in car accidents in the same period? File under - we got to protect our phoney baloney jobs.

Warning - inducing anything other than atmospheric level oxygen in the lungs may be determent to one's health.

#3 ...And there's the distinct possibility that the one thing almost all of these cases have in common is that they involve vaping CBDs or other forms of marijuana.

Of course, that's not going to get attention because Weed Is Good(TM) and after decades of trying to get it legalized, nobody's going to let it slip back now.

#4 It's the vaporization of the oils in the CBD, pot, hash and other new vaping products being manufactured under the table. This oil vapor gets into the tiny nooks and crannies of the lungs and isn't easily expelled by the body, hence the infections.

I've vaped for years and the standard flavored nicotine products don't have oils in their ingredients.

Follow the money. The tobacco companies (and their proxies) have tried multiple ways to quash the vape industry, but have been unsuccessful up to now.

Yes, and in some states like California, marijuana taxes are too.

#6 Whoever is behind it, there is an increasingly aggressive push behind it: medical, cultural, social approaches/counter advertising.
