The Wasington Post has a report on the FDA investigation into illnesses and lung damage caused by vaping.
State and federal health officials investigating mysterious lung illnesses linked to vaping have found the same chemical in samples of marijuana products used by people sickened in different parts of the country and who used different brands of products in recent weeks.
[...] That same chemical was also found in nearly all cannabis samples from patients who fell ill in New York in recent weeks, a state health department spokeswoman said. While this is the first common element found in samples from across the country, health officials said it is too early to know whether this is causing the injuries.
[...] State and federal health authorities have said they are focusing on the role of contaminants or counterfeit substances as a likely cause of vaping-related lung illnesses. Many patients have told officials and clinicians that they bought cannabis products off the street.

No, it isn't. This is just the cdc reclassifying unexplained pneumonia as vaping illness. Probably some political or financial notice behind it, but not could just be incompetence.

From where did you receive your medical degree? At which pulmonary program did you do your residency?
Thought so.
As such, I'll take the CDC's word over yours. Every. Single. Time.

Actually I do have a phd in a medical field, but consider it pretty much worthless.
