Long-term use of antiperspirant is potentially carcinogenic

It's not a certainty. The research is not conclusive. The research and theories even factor that anti-perspirant use by males/persons who do not shave their underarms and thereby introduce wounds to which aluminium-based anti-perspirants may be applied would possibly be at even lower risk than whatever risk is hypothesised.

"These findings do not support the hypothesis that antiperspirant use increases the risk for breast cancer."

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17037719/

"We found 82.0% of the controls used antiperspirants compared with 51.8% of cases (P< 0.05). The use of antiperspirants had no association with the risk of breast cancer, while family history and oral contraceptives use were found to be associated."

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14639125/

"Frequency and earlier onset of antiperspirant/deodorant usage with underarm shaving were associated with an earlier age of breast cancer diagnosis. Combined habits are likely for this earlier age of diagnosis. In conclusion, underarm shaving with antiperspirant/deodorant use may play a role in breast cancer. It is not clear which of these components are involved. Reviewed literature insinuates absorption of aluminium salts facilitated by dermal barrier disruption. Case-controlled investigations are needed before alternative underarm hygiene habits are suggested."

"A New Study Found the Carcinogen Benzene In 59 Popular Deodorant and Antiperspirant Sprays. On the heels of the report, Procter & Gamble is recalling 18 of its Secret and Old Spice products."

Any reason to recall Old Spice products should be celebrated. It never tasted good. If a few people went down in the process, that could be considered acceptable collateral damage. Can't make an omelette...

Long-term living is a much more carcinogenic activity than anti-perspirant use and is multiply proven. It's all about risk quantification and assessment.

We're watching many of our friends and family go through numerous types of cancer (one just died this week) and other recurring aliments since they got the "therapy" injections, and they'll most likely line up for the next round. We sent them info two years ago but they turned a blind eye. Even now, they're convinced none of it is connected. We're watching it unfold from a distance. I wonder if the "IQ test" jab (no pun intended) is a way some people vent from the hurt of those who still won't listen. Grief takes many forms.

Absolutely agree with this. Not enough to find a way to bastardize what was freely given to us along with our home on this planet, now the psychopaths are trying to remake the human race -improving us of course in their insanely twisted way. We're in Tower of Babel times for sure and g-d, universe or whatever willing, they will suffer an even more lethal fall this time for their delusions of godhood.

I've read many comments, where people refer to themselves to be of "pure blood". It disgusts me. Other talk about "humanity family" (Menschheitsfamilie) these days in Germany, which would include all on "our side", as if the other ones wouldn't belong to that humanity anymore. I don't like this sort of segregation and this attitude of "superiority". It is also inhibiting anyone of the ones who fell for lies to ever make an attempt to rethink their opinions.

Good thought.

You might remember they wanted to see us all dead, though...

This is beautifully composed Iggy. Some who were opposed to the gene therapies faced a zero sum game via familial pressures. Decisions made during this time should not be construed as binary regardless of the outcome.
