      I think it’s like the FDA having just reasonable guidelines on how much UV you can safely be exposed to. RFKJR prolly thinks sun lotion prevents all the healthiness from the sun and crystallises your amygdala or something along those lines.

      It’s quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people. Found that one out from an old high school crush from FL. She looks like leather now.

        It’s quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people.

        I mean, it halfway is:

        • “Sunscreen” – stuff with a decently high SPF rating – is a good thing that prevents cancer.

        • “Suntan lotion” – usually glorified coconut oil with fuck-all SPF rating – is a bad thing that harms people.

        • “Sunscreen lotion” – a confused amalgamation of the previous terms – is not a thing and only misleads people by conflating good things with harmful ones.

    True story, I went to my doctor about losing some weight as I was close to getting diabetes. For some reason, my doctor loudly proclaimed “Here is a prescription for some meds” while handing me the prescription.

    It wasn’t a prescription for meds. My doctor wrote “Due to Big Pharma and the FDA listening in, I have to prescribed various meds. You really should eat healthy diet that has a healthy amount of calories made up of vegetables and fruit. I needed get exercise and should spend time outside to help everything.”

    Big Pharma is everywhere! /s

      The worst part is that they really didn’t, they just didn’t know that they didn’t. They won’t realize for a while (until it affects them personally). Some never will.

    Speaking of raw milk, bird flu has just been disovered in it. Buckle up, the next pandemic is coming. Maybe it will go down in history as the MAGA flu. Or Trumps.

    im okay with ending the war on psychedelics though.

    not for everyone but also not worth hunting and jailing people for.

    fuck off with all the pseudoscientific garbage.

      It sure would be nice if one side of the political aisle hadn’t convinced its voters to disarm themselves while the other side stockpiled guns.
