Default anyone gotten swine flu while vaping?

Just curious....it would sure be an interesting coincidence it NO ONE here got swine flu since the only thing we have in common is our vaping (which I've read MAY kill viruses).

Looking forward to your responses!

My kids, ages 6 & 8, have been sick for the past week with classic flu-like symptoms, and I'm pretty sure it's swine flu. I have Bronchiectasis (mucus plugs in my bronchial tubes) and I usually catch every single thing they bring home from school and end up with pneumonia shortly thereafter. So far so good this time!

On a somewhat related note, I go back for another CT scan in December to check on the progression of my lung disorder. It will be interesting to see if vaping has had any positive or negative effects on it. My last CT scan was done in August, about 2 weeks after switching from a pack a day of analogs to the ecig. I know I certainly feel better now compared to when I was smoking!

The idea that PG protects against flu started here:

Wow....so far that's some VERY interesting circumstantial evidence! Jennifer, I look forward to an update on your lungs.

That Time article is what made me wonder...

I have a fairly good memory on what I've read ("It's a blessing.... and a curse" Monk) and a good search ability evidently. The topic isn't new to ECF...

I think he's quoting the tv show "Monk", which stars a detective with obsessive compulsive disorder and an incredible memory.
