          We could diagnose it just fine in the 70’s here in Denmark

          Shut your armchair misinformation ass up.

          In the 70s Denmark didn’t have dermoscopy, digital mole mapping, or modern melanoma drugs… Early cases were often missed and late cases were basically untreatable, so pretending diagnosis and treatment were ‘just fine’ back then is pure revisionist nonsense.

          Already had you tagged as ‘fuckstick.’ looks like it wasn’t a one-off.

            i had a derm once at kaiser check my nevus spilus once, because it was growing in size and adding more spots. melanoma doesnt always have to be a sun-caused mole. but it could be a plain flat brown staining too.

              Why the aggression?

              Because you’re spreading healthcare misinformation that could literally get someone killed.

              Here’s where I block you because I don’t want to be in a community with people that remind me of RFK Jr.

                No I’m not, where is the risk of getting killed when I CLEARLY warn against getting sunburn, which is the main cause for skin cancer!! And is the exclusive reason sunscreen is beneficial from a health standpoint and recommended by dermatologists.

                Dermatologists do not recommend sun screen to stay longer in the sun, they recommend it to avoid sunburn.

              It’s always the sign of the bad faith arguer to throw decorum and impropriety at their opponent whenever they refuse to tolerate absolute clear and objective bullshit.

              You don’t get to play a victim here. You are spreading misinformation and you know it. Or you don’t and that just makes you a willing dupe.

              So no, I think his response was well with the polite decorum afforded a peddler of dogshit. An idiot trying to take everyone else down with them.

              The time for tolerating bullshit alternative science peddlers is over.

              You can go fuck a duck. I’m exhausted by people like you over the years. You want to feel special, like you know something more than everyone else and this somehow gives you permission to challenge established data and science with you “opinions”.

              Fuck all the way off. The time for a concerted public backlash against people like you is at hand. I’m so fucking tired of idiots feeling like they deserve equal time with experts.

      In the 70’s skin cancer was rare

      Was skin cancer rare? Or were skin cancer diagnoses rare? I worry that you may be presenting the same flawed arguments that we see used to promote claims of an “autism epidemic”.

      Is it possible that we get less natural UV protection from the atmosphere now? I’m just making a wild guess but we’ve had so many environmental changes and climate change has made summers so much more severe.

        Yeah, that was one of the things with the cfcs causing damage to the ozone layer. I would also say a lot more pollution (including microplastics) just generally everywhere, clothing showing off more skin, and that smoking isnt causing other things first.

          The ozone layer is generally back in place because that was like the last time an industry agreed to cease its harmful climate change inducing behaviors.

            It isn’t actually. It stopped getting worse and is very slowly recovering. The hole is still mostly there and many parts of the ozone layer are still thinner.
