Has Everyone Submitted a Positive FDA Adverse Reaction Report?

[Crunchy2k]

I have run across two anti-vaping stories so far recommending the users report them to the FDA. Well, that is a two way street. You can report a positive 'adverse' reaction to the FDA. It is about a 20min procedure and you can save a draft copy and finish later if necessary. I put down I had an adverse reaction to smoking and resolved it with my personal vaporizer and e-liquid....Some news outlets are following this reporting. One story in Feb. reported only 8 positive reports and 16 questionable reports.

I started to do this, then I wondered if they'd just use it against us. I can see the headlines, "FDA officials report dramatic spike in adverse events with electronic cigarettes 8427% in just the past month." Then, once that headline started circulating, there'd be no correcting it in the media.

The American - Lung, Cancer, Heart, Academy of Pediactrics - Societies and the CDC may try. But in a senate or congressional hearing and at the FDA, the entire adverse effects statistics and reports are used. That is more important in my mind than the public news spreading FUD. At least, I hope the FDA and congress don't look at the news to say how they are going to vote...
