They told us – “Avoid the sun at all cost and slather sunblock all over you if you happen to get in the sun”. – turns out this is a recipe for disease and death

I do think the institutionalization of the philosophy of materialism conditions people to think in a very narrow way. It’s as if very smart people can’t think past the programming they are fed.
This creates a feedback loop that leads to this sort of outcome.
“The Food and Drug Administration, which oversees sunscreen safety, said in 2021 that out of 16 ingredients it reviewed, only two – zinc oxide and titanium dioxide – are “generally recognized as safe and effective,” or GRASE, based on the available information.”

Hospitals also used to rip parts of your brain out through your nose if you didn’t act right.
God damn you people are dumb.

Old hospitals use to give you a lobotomy with an orbitoclast too, so I guess we need to get back to doing that as well.

There are many more cases of skin cancer now than ever and sunscreens are causing a great deal of it! We are made to be out in nature but alas

Yeah, and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were invented to help people from masturbating, and cigarettes were considered healthy, and people used to use “jiggle belts” around their wastes to lose weight, so..

To all the comments dismissing the post, can we acknowledge that being wrong in other areas in the past does not mean they were incorrect EVERYWHERE?

You can get the benefits of uvb radiation while still using sunscreen or even while sitting in the shade of a tree.

I avoid the sun in the summer months because the UV index here in Australia means you get burnt to a crisp. I’m very white and have had about a dozen BBC’s removed in the past few years. Skin cancer is real.
In the winter I seek out the Sun

If only this was testable somehow, like if there was a country where the sun is stronger because of maybe a hole in the ozone layer. And if only they saw an increase in skin cancer because of the sun, before a public push to use sunscreen and cover away from the sun in the summer saw a decrease in skin cancers.
That would be such a weird source of data that completely contradicts this. Good thing Australia isn’t real.
For real though. The sun is incredibly important for controlling a bunch of biological functions. Too much of it still gives you cancer though, through VERY well und understood mechanisms. We even understand the body’s defences against it. Why would our body try to protect us from it if it’s not harmful in some way?

Same category as smoking is healthy because doctors from those same old hospitals said so 🙂

I’ve lived long enough to go from “you need sun” to “stay out of the sun and slather screen on yourself if you go out” to “you need vitamin D supplements” to “vitamin d supplements might cause problems”.

Do you not think skin cancer is a real thing?

I don’t think the puppet masters did this.
