So I was thinking today, shocker, I know... But not too long ago there were a LOT of reports that suddenly started rolling in about "vaping illness." It makes me wonder if these were potentially early COVID infections (assuming that you believe it is real of course; if not let's play devil's advocate, eh?), or maybe even they were the initial infectors, as in the vape juice, usually THC related, either caused the infection or delivered it directly. I find this more plausible than some of the 5g theories floating about. Also, took a look at the symptoms of vaping illness and found the following:

Someone with EVALI may have breathing and digestive problems, along with other symptoms, including:

Fever

Chills

Cough

A hard time breathing

Shortness of breath

Chest tightness

Belly pain

Loss of appetite (not hungry)

Nausea and vomiting

Diarrhea

Weight loss

Interesting to say the least. Any thoughts?
