It may, like viruses that cause hepatitis, be something that has lifelong detrimental consequences to one’s health, even young people who don’t suffer adverse effects now.
This attacking of the messenger, the “media”, is not helpful to anyone.
Sometimes the media in fact does report facts. Sometimes it only reports "facts" the way they want them to be. On second thought should change sometimes to most of the time these days.
