Motley Fool: The CDC Backs Off!

The CDC Just Backed Off Its Broad Recommendation Against Vaping and E-Cigarettes

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released an update Friday on e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) that deleted language from previous updates recommending that people refrain from all use of e-cigarette or vaping products.

Guess they could no longer sustain their lie.

What the CDC did was criminal. They knew exactly what was causing the lung problems way back in September. They allowed the lies to fester and grow. Laws were passed to protect the public from the non-existant crises peddled by the CDC. How many small businesses went under because of the CDC's lies? How many people lost their jobs?

The CDC needs to be sued and restitution paid to those who were harmed by their lies.

Their mission was accomplished. No one cares what they report now. A job well done and got things rolling just fine as intended.

I'm sorta torn. I mean, until the CDC knew what it was, a blanket recommendation sort of made SOME sense but I really think they could have found out and communicated their conclusions much more quickly. Also, that they were all illegal that is NOT that hard to determine.

The CDC has hated vaping for a LONG time. Over a year ago, I was investigating CDC fact sheets to give out if helpful. The ones on vaping kind of made me wonder if I could trust ANY of the information on ANYTHING.

So glad they are holding on to all the poisons and like, smallpox for "us." Oh well the Stand was my favorite Steven King book (unabridged) it had these wonderful anecdotes about people all doing themselves in accidentally.

One reason I keep the husband around.
