If you want to read more articles from the author of this piece (Cameron English), use the link below. I like his views on e-cigs (obviously), vaccines, and certain dieting myths, but I find many of his other views to be questionable.

I also found a related article that cites the article linked by the OP, which is very short and does a decent job of focusing on the point of scare-tactic media:

You should read through some of his other articles. Agree with him or not (and I don't agree with many of them), he's a good writer that makes some pretty strong points, which I always appreciate.
