A 470,000-person study found sunscreen users had dramatically higher skin cancer rates and the researchers tried to explain it away.
What?!
@HeatherEHeying emphasizes, "they've got three explanations to whisk away their result and then ignore that result for the rest of their discussion, the rest of their paper is extraordinarily bad form."
Dr. Bret Weinstein: "Well, it is absolutely par for the course for modern science, where there is dogma in each of the fields. You can validate the dogma, the more extreme your validation, the faster you're going to rise. And if you say anything that goes against the dogma, you have to explain it away and you have to deliver the paragraph that says we found X, but we still believe Y."
