It's not like the EPA itself thru an unrelated study has already shows Propylene Glycol used in "fog form" sanitizes the air or anything

But...but...how can you mention this stuff without completely destroying the argument that vaping is just as dangerous as smoking, it's not like you are removing 15-30X the contaminants and KNOWN bad stuff by not smoking right?

It appears PG itself has germicidal components, and it seems that (Don't quote me on this) in medicinal use, PG is used in an un-altered and compacted form, IE: Aerosol, to spray out a fine dense mist into the air to sanitize. Where as in vaping you are heating up PG to its flash point and not inhaling PG directly.

hmmm...true
Wonder what the effects of heating PG have on the chemical properties of PG, investigating

Propylene glycol, when vaporized, turns into propylene glycol gas or "steam"

In order to make H2O and CO2, you must have a combustion reaction (you must burn it) aka organic chemical reaction

hmmmm
