American Lung Association Puts Leonardo DiCaprio on Blast for Vaping

[Lessifer]

I am all for the Red Cross. At least the got the guts to look you in the eye
before they drain you dry.


It's due more to the proliferation of testing, the amount of tests available and,
testing at younger and younger ages. In the old days a lot of people died of
consumption( tuberculosis of the lungs) or natural causes. Dying from consumption
appears remarkably like dying of cancer if not diagnosed. Back in the day there was
not a lot of testing going on and even less of what we would consider treatment.
What we consider modern medicine today is the result of the advancements
made in the last half of the last century.

I agree that accurate diagnosis is likely a major factor.

As for organizations like the ALA and ACS and Red Cross, it's sickening that you can no longer count on them to do what they were supposedly organized to do. You need an organization to coordinate contributions made on a national level, and manage those funds into efficient results. More often than not, it seems, the managing of funds becomes the goal, and the actual issues get left by the wayside.

These ^^^^

There is a difference in Hereditary and Manipulated Genetics.

We are the Result {1-n-3} of Human self destruction. We have been manipulated at the dna level, often for Profit, by people with -0- true concern for anything but the bottom line.

1-n-20 was less than a Century ago.
1-n-17 was just a few decades ago.

Where do these new Flu bugs really come from and how it is the Vaccines are right on their heals?
How can science be so efficient in some areas and totally stumped in others?

Mr. DiCaprio was a smoker. He may still be, I'm not sure. He's been vaping at awards ceremonies for a few years now, but I've never seen this kind of uproar until now. There has definitely been an increase in anti-vaping propaganda recently. I suspect its due to the deeming.

Like him or hate him, he vapes for the same reason most of us do, and he's one of us.

But, it is a sad day for our country when we can't even look to the ALA and similar organizations for truthful information about our health.

I bet that he is also an ECF member!

Apparently there is a loophole for theatrical production sites.
"DiCaprio was able to take advantage of Los Angeles' "theatrical production sites" loophole at the SAG Awards,"
Academy Awards to Leonardo DiCaprio: No Vape for You

Celebs get exemptions for everything.

Intricate conspiracies never work or are too readily exposed by those that can't keep their mouths shut. As convenient an explanation as it may be for you to come to, belief in such a conspiracy effort requires supernatural belief that someone, or someones, would be capable of pulling it off. We're just not that smart as a species, as a society, or as individuals. We be dumb and have incontrovertible proof every day of our collective and individual capacity for stupidity.

We are approaching the 100th anniversary of the Great Influenza Pandemic, which peaked in 1919 but the outbreak started in 1917. Estimates are that it killed 50 to 100 million people world-wide. There were no Big Pharma companies lined up then to reap profits...
Viruses like influenza are constantly mutating, which is what makes them difficult to have a blanket immunization that will prevent them. Current seasonal flu shot efficacy is ~67%, partly because of cross-efficacy of anti-bodies with similar flu strains. There are current flu strains like Avian Flu (H5N1) that are resisting efforts for effective vaccination development exactly because of the rapid mutation cycle. In ways, this is similar to HIV/AIDS, as it is also a rapid-mutation cycle virus, confounding efforts to provide cures and vaccines.

We are creating "Super-Bugs" of viruses by our societal predilection for taking antibiotics - that will do absolutely nothing for us - for any ailment we are afflicted with.

To paraphrase Neil Degrasse Tyson, "we live in a universe that conspires to eradicate us from existence." We now just have the knowledge and technology, and the societal stupidity, to lend it a helping hand toward our demise as a species.

I know this is thread is dead, but after DiCaprio catching flak for vaping at an awards show, and the oscars public stance on vaping, did anyone happen see what was in the $230,000 gift bags they handed out to The nominees?

Let's just say it included a high end personal vaporizer....just not the kind we talk about here.


Ironic isn't it?

The Oscars Gift Bag Is Worth $230k And Will Make You Sick

 

[Hotwire]

I know it's off topic but this made me laugh

But what does the 2016 Oscars gift bag actually include though? Well, the most expensive item is a 10-day, first-class trip to Israel,

Just sort of funny as you know, people claim Hollywood is 'owned by the Jews.'

I don't care if it is or isn't by the way, I just found it ironic.
