And these people (tik tok generation) will inherit this country
I had to stop this video midway through. It wasn't too long ago that all these "medical experts" were advising EVERYONE to get the COVID vaccine because "the benefits far outweigh" the drawbacks. Now we're hearing of all kinds of issues with the COVID vaccine and more importantly the vaccine never prevented anyone from contracting COVID, like Joe Biden and all his health experts advised. I'm NOT a conspiracy theorist, but this administration has garnered more reason to question their motives that any other administration I've been alive for.
Why do TikTokers have only 2 brain cells?
Melanin is my natural sun screen. Welcome to the matrix. Listen to yourself and trust your best judgment. Peace
🤷🏿♂️ I got natural sunscreen I think I'll take my chances ✌🏿
There is way too much stupid out here and way too many followers and that is scary!
I remember around the late 1990s when people were starting to label the internet as the new information age. I also remember people warning it could be the "misinformation age" as well. I really never thought it would get this bad. I have friends and family members who fall for this conspiracy stuff, some don't take to me anymore because of politics and watching certain channels. It's really sad how easy the human mind can be manipulated (also, don't discount a lot of these "influencers" and SM personalities are just saying things for clicks)
Having not used sunscreen one time at the beach I got so many freckles and moles afterwards. One mole I even needed to remove because it was huge and on my neck. I lather up now every single time.
Internet / social media seems better at spreading misinformation than actual truth.
They love using black ppl to push EVERYTHING. There is a reason, certain demographics get skin cancer. The Earth will continue to HEAL itself like the body does through FEVER🔥 until the infection is gone💀
If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly; it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old Proverb, ‘A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on.’
– C.H. Spurgeon
Protective clothing and staying inside…#1 combatant of sun cancer.
How do u know its disinformation? Oh , your demoRats. Mind ya bussiness
Osmosis harmonized sun defense sun screen…water that has frequencies added to shield you from the sun. I drank 7 pumps every 3 hrs
LET THEM. They deserve it for being willfully ignorant in this, the age of information and access to scientific studies.
sunscreen conspiracy? LoL
Time and time again TikTok proves its uselessness and danger to society yet people still use it. CCP has done good. Teach smarts at home, teach misinformation and stupid everywhere else.
As a farmer who lives in the Tropics, you should wear a hat, too, preferably broad-brimmed.
😂😂😂😂
dark skin black and a roofer. No burn for me #SUNGOD
Please don't think if you are more melanated you don't need sunscreen! EVERYONE regardless of skin color needs to wear sunscreen!
I miss computing before the internet….
Omg i hate hate hate tiktok and the content creators there. Some stupid teenage kid gets some crazy idea that they all of a sudden know better than a doctor who is an expect in their field. These kids need to be sued and banned forever from the internet. The level of ignorance these days makes me happy that i will be dead before they fully take over the earth and be the last generation.
Good less morons to deal with in the future. 😁
Also, don’t buy the spray Sun screen. It’s a rip off, not only are you getting less sunscreen for the money, you wasting most of it to the air when spraying it on. Also it’s easy to over apply.
Just get the Store Branded Sun Screen. Don’t get caught up in the hype. You don’t need 75 SPF. The generic non scented 25 SPF you can get at Walmart or other store is just as good.
I mean sunscreen and almost all other facial amd cosmetic products do have chemicals in them……probably 60% of the products on the shelf contain carcinogens but so is everything u eat……noodles, red meat, seafood and styrofoam that holds alot of fast food. Everything we touch is cancerous
I bet they don't believe in Covid either.
Misinformation online?! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Society should be elitist in regards to people with academia, with that said, higher education should be free for everyone that wishes to pursue it to its entirety. Furthermore, anyone without a formal education can not legally post advice in regards to health or sciences and doing so can be punishable with life in prison or hard labor camp. We are entering the age of the Big Brain. Learn, evolve, or die out.
Cover the topic in school. Done. Let the rest be. Freedom of choice. Natural selection. God bless America!
more propaganda from big sunscreen
that is not true 1:37 CJAM /JAMC did a whole report on sunscreen.. [The efficacy and safety of sunscreen use for the prevention of skin cancer] in 2020 its literally on the NIH website now
THE BEST thing we have against uv rays is to go sit down inside or wear protect clothes. JUST like 1000 BC
toxin do enter your bloodstream…and its heavily unregulated industry. Hawaii 🌴and other beaches banned sunscreen. ask why? I wouldnt take information from media companies that sell commercial spaces to sunscreen companies.. Im just saying. MASS MEDIA will never bite the industry that feeds them.
