I'm going to try and watch but I am worried that it will mostly be a bunch of ANTZ spouting nonsense and the politicians lapping it up. Hopefully I am wrong.

I don't have the stomach for a congressional hearing. Most are congressional speaking with not much hearing going on.

 

[Iron Molly]

Should be a short hearing. 95% safer. The end. (joking)

I don't think my blood pressure can take actually watching that.

Might be interesting. "Lung Disease" could include their spin on the THC Vit-E thing. The CDC in the hot seat/center stage.

Apparently we are going to hear from someone from the CDC and a parent of a sick child.

I think we'd get better odds in Vegas.

 

[ruet]

Meh, just a bunch of gaslit people who'll try to hammer thier pre-conceived notions into the witnesses heads. I predicting a lot of "shame on you".

I'm listening as I clean and paint. And by clean I mean probably cleaning my perpetual vomit.

Yeah. A 2 person loaded hearing. Just fabulous.

 

[ScottP]

As of 10:20 EST the panel hasn't actually started yet. CSPAN is just talking about the impeachment garbage and the whistle blower bit.

EDIT: Starting now at 10:25 EST

I honestly have no interest in a congressional hearing either, because they the entitled few, nor do I care about a president, the most entitled one, telling us mobs what we can do. The republic just sucks. Just a bunch of entitled idiots.

p.s. my vaping harms nobody, so if the entitled want to .........e how smart they are, do so, without me.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

"No evidence" to back up the statement that e-cigs are safer than smoking cigarettes.

Off to a great start.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

The principal deputy director of the CDC just said they're suggesting that adults who have switched to e-cigs from smoking should not return to smoking cigarettes.

I'm actually surprised to hear her say that. But this is off to a dastardly start overall.

 

[AttyPops]

Yeah. A 2 person loaded hearing. Just fabulous.

They all read the same script anyway.

IDK that anyone there can cite authoritative studies or rely solely on science.

 

[sofarsogood]

Public health institutions are driven by ideology. They spin everything all the time.

The CDC says stop vaping but don't go back to smoking. They mean quit cold turkey. Ideology before safety.

Grothman....good guy with a fact!

 

[Opinionated]

Is it over? I seem to have missed it.. I got busy with chores and completely spaced time..

From comments here I guess I didn't miss much?

 

[ScottP]

Yay Rep Grothman is asking the right questions. Asking about if the 20% might be lying about using THC, etc.
