IIRC, that link was not firmly established early on (though I had seen it hypothesized).

NY State announced a link on Sept. 5th. The earliest ban was in late September. (https://www.health.ny.gov/press/releases/2019/2019-09-05_vap...).

The CDC told everyone to "consider" stopping vaping immediately, despite the lack of evidence it was linked to commercial ecigs. It sure seemed like a beautiful play by big tobacco (which manufactures packs of cigarettes for 6 cents a piece -- and would rather kill vaping than try to compete in tech). Note that CDC was swept out by Trump, to avoid fingering handguns as a public health threat.
