Every person in my family and a lot of my friends that have ended up with skin cancer or other forms of cancer was a habitual user of petro-chemical sunscreens. But everyone else else who didn't use that stuff never got skin cancer.
The crazy thing is that all of the family members who sue sunscreen are adamant that us nonusers will die from UV exposure, even though evidence to the contrary is literally right under their noses.
I've noticed that with a lot of people, the programming runs so thick and deeply rooted that there isn't any amount of convincing them that they're wrong. It breaks my heart to see my loved ones like this, but I've reaign d myself to the fact that I can't save them all, so I've made sure to turn my focus on my children to ensure they will survive with th best knowledge and skills I can give them.
survivorship bias is heavily demonstrated in your personal story. who uses sunscreen the most? people that spend the most time in the sun and dont want more burns. who uses the least? people that dont have as much exposure.
now I tend to agree with your conclusion. Just wanted to point that out. maybe they all spent the same time in the sun and some didnt mind burns. maybe burns are the secret to not getting cancer? bad feedback loop?
