You read the gwern article very incorrectly. It was pointing out that Lizzie's injuries were caused by _adulterated_ illegal THC vapes. While the NYT article was using weasel writing techniques to mislead readers into the conclusion the that legal flavored nicotine vapes are dangerous.

The OP may have read the article incorrectly but it engages in the same lying by saying the truth that the NYT article it claims engaged in because many people would read it that way.

Unlike the author I’m not claiming that they did it deliberately, but that’s what their article ends up doing.
