The TV show (not a movie) in question was The Walking Dead (on AMC) and was like the last episode of Season 1.

I haven't seen "hundreds" getting sick, but the stories I did see seemed to indicate that it was NOT nicotine based juice that they were vaping, but was in fact the "other" stuff that we are not allowed to talk about here and is only legal in a few states now.
I remember it being pretty new. I remember it not being used at all and then there was this giant push for it a few years ago.
No I'm basing my ASSUMPTION on the fact sheets on the website.
I am COMPARING it to the Waking Dead, not basing my evaluation on the Walking Dead.

As far as smoking and vaping are concerned, the CDC is utterly corrupt. Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with the garbage they spout. The only difference between them and the FDA is that FDA has enforcement powers.

I don’t do twitter. The whole thing is a cesspool. Finding garbage in a cesspool is unsurprising.
Is cdctobaccofree actually FROM the CDC or is it from tobaccofree? They’re different groups. Only one of the problems with twitter is near constant impersonation
Totally agree. It seems that Big Tobacco is after the market ( 8.6 Billion)
Philip Morris in the news lately.

It's from the CDC. And don't boast about not doing Twitter as if it's some kind of virtue. All it means is that you don't know what the enemy is up to. Also, you could be helping to talk back to them.
I didn’t say it was a virtue. Some people don’t like the sight of blood, some people can’t handle the presence of vomit. I can handle those, but I don’t like the sight of twitter. How did you confirm it was from the CDC?
I googled CDC twitter feed and found that the official CDC handle is #CDCgov

That's only one of their twitter feeds. There are 7 others that I keep an eye on! And that's not the whole list of CDC Twitter feeds, which you'd have to find out from them, if it's even possible. And it even has the vaunted blue checkmark, if you can't tell just from their messaging who they are.
And you wonder why I won’t use the thing. Iirc anyone can make a twitter feed with the letters CDC in it.
Every department has its own Twitter feed, and there's a Director feed as well.

Twitter is like a lake sized pool filled to the top with excrement. I don't care if there are a few golden nuggets somewhere at the bottom, I am not going to jump into it.
Twitter is for twits. And yeah I bet some info is helpful but not ENOUGH.
You know the reflecting pool somewhere near Congress or whatever? I went there one nigh with some drunken waiter pals, and we got in it. There are a TON of ducks in that "reflecting pool and the water LOOKS nice, but it had about two inches of duck poop that my feet sunk into and it wasn't PLEASANT.
Twitter is a bit like that.

So you’re saying that the CDC actually has a twitter account called CDCChronic. Somehow I doubt that. I’m sure that feed CLAIMS to be from the CDC. What does the actual CDC say though? CDCtobaccofree is even less likely as tobaccofree is a totally separate ANTZ group.
It’s not impossible you’re right, but from here it looks much more likely that you’ve been duped.
It’s not impossible also that there are people who work for the CDC at some minor level and are using that position to make claims. I’m kinda curious what #CDCgov thinks of all of this.
"CDC has a robust and growing Twitter presence. Currently, CDC supports more than 40 Twitter profiles connecting followers with information on a range of CDC health and safety topics."

What you see depends on where you go. If you're a fly, you're attracted to the garbage dumpsters. That doesn't mean garbage dumpsters are the only thing that exists. And as I said, I'm keeping track of what the enemy is up to, and joining allies in talking back to them.
Use your twitter feed in any way you like. It's completely up to you, you don't have to justify yourself to anyone.
I still have a very visceral kinetic memory of my bare feet not hitting what I assume would be some kind of tile or concrete or something but very slowly, sort of squishily sinking through two inches of duck poop on to a very slimy surface that was.... OMG. And, I was drunk. I just happen to feel that way about twitter, and I don't much feel like "dialoguing" or disagreeing with the CDC ANYWHERE they have SO many poisons AND freaking the last vial of polio. I'm not going to get into a fight with them about vaping, although their (surprisingly numerous I took a long look) fact sheets on vaping and vaping for teens SUCK and are entirely inaccurate. I printed out a few to give to teen vapers, more so they could enjoy them as I did although I work for a Federally Qualified Health care center, there are certain things I really am not ALLOWED to recommend including the evil herb, or like, anything tobacco related.
My HR document about smoking is SURPRISINGLY extensive, it lists about ALL forms of nic that cannot be consumed on the job, including snus, which is what I use. I have a feeling that not too many people (including HR, and other staff) know what it even IS really. I have not had an issue and it's been going on like 9 months. I just don't talk about it.

Folks can aerosolize "oil" all day as far as I'm concerned. Their choice. But don't call it vaping. Common definition of vaping has been vaporizing nic juices forever. And that won't change unless we let it. There are many thousands of news outlets. There are 10 million of us. But we won't stop the appropriation of the term hiding in our closets with a Juul. Especially with all the help we've gotten from our loyal industry. Want to change public opinion, start there.
Oil and water don't mix. Sorry, but that's my opinion.
Good luck all.
