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 Vitamin D. There was this whole thing during the COVID pandemic about how the FDA/CDC were SUSPICIOUSLY QUIET about how impactful Vitamin D levels were on COVID outcomes or something and how that’s how you know that… something something sinister ulterior motives.
So like the idea was that everybody going outside and getting some sun was actually the best thing for public health, but THEY were telling you to languish inside under lockdowns, because clearly they didn’t want you to be healthy.
Yeah, I know it’s Vitamin D you get from the sun, but for instance exposing yourself to sun that requires sun lotion, you’re still getting all the vitamin D you can use.
Idk this might be a bullshit stat, but here in Finland you here all sorts of things about vitamin D and sunshine, so iirc, I think like 15 minutes in the sun already gives you your daily dose of vitamin D.
So it’s not exactly a good reason to lift the lockdown when people can just go out to walk their dog and have all the benefits that one can get from the sun. It’s not like sun worshipping yourself until you look like a two-day old hotdog is anything healthy. The sort of tanning RFK JR seems to have practiced. I had a friend (woman) who just loved suntanning. Like crazy much. And smokes. She wasn’t too bad looking when I worked with her, but god she’s gonna look like wrinkled leather in 10 years.
Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to dementia and other bice diseases. I bet 15 minutes sunlight won’t cut it and sunbathing gives you skin cancer in the long run, so get some supplements people!
I take a vitamin D supplement every day. Especially in the winter.
I quickly googled and a Finnish article says that during summertime, wearing just shorts, you can get your daily amount half an hour. But that’s midsummer sun and midday.
But in countries where it’s more intense…
Anyway, supplementation is definitely necessary for most people, especially during winter.

Just to chime in, vitamin D deficiency is extremely common:

Yeah, it is. And even moreso here in the Nordics.

Swedish here, but I live in France.
Modern day people are often stuck inside (of the car, house, office) during daylight times.
Also, when you get a sunburn in 20 minutes you avoid the sun when you are outside…
So yeah, supplements FTW!
It’s funny because I remember specific provisions for allowing people to go outside for exercise lmao
