Come on, we already have anti vaxxers, is there some kind of underground anti sunscreen movement now too? And even if George Washington didn't have skin cancer... What evidence is one dude's lack of cancer to prove that a modern protective product doesn't work? We have no idea how much time he spent in the sun, we don't know if he always wore long sleeves, etc.
Obviously we know he did have cancer, but I just can't get over how many levels of flaw this argument contains in so few words.
There is, an old friend of mine posted a ridiculous video about it on instagram....sure, there MAY be side effects to using sunscreen (not sunblock) that have turned up inconclusive in studies, but it has been proven that sunscreen and sunblock are VERY effective against skin cancer.
It's just like the "covid vaccines can have an extremely small possility of side effects so I'd rather get long covid and DIE!!"
Jesus christ.
You know I don't honestly love wearing sunscreen. It's greasy, it sucks.
But you know what I like less? Being sunburned! Being sunburned is legitimately terrible!
You know what I like less than being sunburned? Fucking CANCER.
Wearing sunscreen is such a laughably low effort alternative to these horrible things that happen otherwise.
People are so goddamned stupid it boggles the mind.
But it is simple. Also, you throw it at this crowd and they come back with evidence. Well, you throw it at another crowd and they might say: Oh right, they’ve got a good point there. Few words, simple message, inner logic = will work on a lot of people.
To be fair, if they're underground they don't really need sunscreen.
