    Is that overall drop in mortality due to more dark-skinned migrants showing up and shifting the population demographics in statistically significant directions, or is it true across the indigenous light-skinned Swedish population too? Ah yes, there it is. Migration being a likely cause brought up within the article itself. As if I’m surprised.

  2. Serious question: I lost a close friend to melanoma, and I’ve always wondered why it’s called “malignant” melanoma. Isn’t melanoma always malignant?
