Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that a Trump administration would prioritize removing fluoride from public water systems, a position at odds with major health organizations like the CDC, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, all of which endorse water fluoridation as safe and beneficial for dental health.

Despite Kennedy’s controversial stance on health and environmental issues, which includes previously debunked claims linking vaccines to autism, Trump has praised his passion, stating that Kennedy would have significant freedom to influence health policy if Trump were elected.

        It’s literally not misinformation though. The very first line quite clearly states that there have been multiple studies in recent times which characterize Fluoride as a neurotoxin. This sort of behaviour, deliberately lying about the content of scientific research, is exactly why people are losing faith in our systems.

            studies have suggested that fluoride is a human developmental neurotoxicant

            Literally the first part which you bolded says quite plainly that there are, in fact, studies which suggest that it is. I’m not here to debate whether or not it actually is, but rather to attempt to show people that they should take a second look before dismissing concerns as entirely baseless, as though they have all of the answers. This is about the difference between treating science as a religion, compared to actually being capable of reading and understanding that there is no hard consensus on many issues.
