My thoughts too! I was wondering how to respond to the story. My cousin posted it on my FB today because he was worried about me. I Googled the name of the person, who appears to be a woman, and from what I saw on an obituary, the name belongs to a man. Makes me wonder if the FB account is real.Snopes dismantles a facebook post claim of a woman dying of lipid pneumonia from vaping. Well done, IMO.
Ohh wow must have Been Bruce Jenner!
So true!What bothers me is it was shared 47000+ times, this is just too easy a way for a twisted ANTZ to get a lie out there. If only 4 people see that many shares it will be ~200,000 people that now think that e-cigarettes can cause lipoid pneumonia and will be warning users and smokers of that "fact".
That would have been a much better title for this thread!Snopes dismantles a facebook post claim of a woman dying of lipid pneumonia from vaping. Well done, IMO.
Well it's up to ~84,000 shares now, wonder how long it will be before it's "common knowledge". i was digging thru the reddit post linked in the post in new users and it turns out the Snopes article author is a vaper who is seriously digging into this.
After the end of the snopes article they show how many views it's gotten. Over 13,000 yesterday, the day it was posted, and right now it says, "(Visited 37,426 times, 12,110 visits today)". Hopefully posts about the snopes article are getting a lot of shares.Well it's up to ~84,000 shares now, wonder how long it will be before it's "common knowledge".
More fun, the facebook poster lists Specialties: Fundraising for American Cancer Society in her Linkedin profile, do to ACS propaganda she would have at least been receptive to any bad rumor about e-cigarettes.
The amount of information you have at hand does not magically change your IQ in any way.lookey there, all it takes is ONE facebook post and look at the stir up you can cause...they say we live in a world of information, but yet nearly everyone that uses it seems to be a dumb ... with it...
