Well, well, well — it looks like the mainstream has accidentally stumbled upon the truth that skin cancer might be caused by something other than the sun.
Researchers have found that some strains of HPV, a common sexually acquired virus, can dramatically increase your skin cancer risk. And since last time I checked, the sun wasn’t playing hanky-panky with anyone.
According to the illuminating study in BMJ, having two or three of the 100+ strains of HPV can boost your skin cancer odds by 44 percent. Having between four and eight will increase the odds by 51 percent, and more than that will see the risk shoot up 71 percent.
But while it’s nice to see the mainstream perform something other than the chicken dance when it comes to skin cancer, don’t celebrate this change of heart just yet… because this “discovery” could be used for something far worse than driving sunscreen sales.
That’s the mass injection of America’s children with one of the world’s most dangerous vaccines — the so-called HPV vaccine being pushed on little girls in a make-believe effort to lower their cervical cancer risk.
I’ve warned you about these before, and one of them — Gardasil — has been linked to extreme side effects such as paralysis, nerve damage, Lou Gehrig’s disease and even some deaths… and it only offers limited HPV protection to boot. (Read more here.)
They’re actually trying to make this vaccine a school requirement for girls — and in some places they’ve succeeded. And now that HPV has been linked to skin cancer, they can push it on boys too.
How convenient.
Don’t fall for these tricks — if you’re worried about skin cancer for yourself or your kids, stop. Remember, most skin cancers are treated quickly and easily in simple outpatient procedures.
You’ve probably had a harder time removing hangnails.
And for the most part, sun isn’t causing cancer — but sunscreens are. That’s what happens when you slather a known carcinogen all over the largest and most sensitive organ on your body: your skin.
So sit back and enjoy the weather — it’s summer. You should be outside.
