Good point among the other points you posted. I only highlighted this part to ask how vaping might have any differential influence?
Here in US (maybe elsewhere too), before the pandemic, people in the 18-45 bracket had been to ER/ED’s in respiratory distress without pre-existing conditions. Vitamin E acetate in vaping solutions was closely linked.

The workups on the 18-45 bracket COVID-19 fatalities might yield some learnings to explain how seemingly healthy ones expired. Could it be that vaping has created a high rate of that cohort as “walking near-COPD” individuals?
