It is a tough discussion as with anything nuanced online. The negative consequences of UV exposure are compelling and very visible both with aging and skin cancer. It would be irresponsible to promote uv exposure but also factually it is an effective treatment for some conditions in some people and possibly has less obvious benefit to others. UV exposure does things to our immune system that can't be replicated by vitamin D supplements. As crazy as it may seem, occasionally "basking in the sun" might be reasonably cheap, accessible and effective disease management for some very specific cases even if it doesn't seem very wise to say so and risk the accusatory finger pointing.
