Transcript

So let me get this straight. In 1975, only 10% of white people reported using sunscreen at the beach, and skin cancer rates that year were only 30 per 100,000. In 2022, 70% of white people reported using beach and skin cancer rates that same year were more than 1,700 per 100 thousand. That's more than a 400% increase. Does anyone else find that odd? Who knows, I might just be a conspiracy theorist.
