What what? What part of that didn’t you understand?
While it’s trendy on the right to be against Fluoridation because of ‘big government’ or ‘fauci’ or whatever drivel happens to appear out of the American education system; the original fight against fluoridation was left wing, and still is in countries outside the Amerisraeli empire, which is really the only handful of countries that fluoridate their water; they were the only ones stupid enough to give literally trillions at this point to the global aluminium mining industry.
I don’t understand your point. I’m making fun of the right wing for believing in dumb pseudoscience. I’m well aware of the crunchy moms on the left, but that’s not who I’m making fun of right now.
You’re… Bringing in UC Berkeley and the aluminum industry for some reason? It really just seems like you wanted to rant and chose my comment at random to do that.
…Why? Because Berkeley has non-fluoridated water, after mass encouragement from professors at UC Berkeley.
As to why the aluminum industry… THAT’S THE EXCLUSIVE, AND I DO MEAN THE EXCLUSIVE REASON THE US STARTED FLUORIDATING WATER. There was no other reason. Sodium Fluoride is toxic waste that is a by product from refining aluminum. It cost the industry millions (in 1920s month) actively cleaning up and properly disposing of that waste according to the few ecological protections present in the day.
Then hey, Fluoride is useful in dentistry in high amounts, why don’t they sell to that industry? So they did. And then someone had the clever idea of paying off dentists to help lobby for water fluoridation, as was SO INCREDIBLY COMMON AT THE TIME (sugar, milk, leaded gasoline, cigarettes, lead paint, lead pipes). And so they got a way to get PAID to dump their toxic waste. They just had to make sure it was under a certain concentration; which just meant they aggressively pushed fluoridation across the US and Canada so their margins would be higher. Eventually fluorine became the easiest way to dump that particular chemical, and despite the extra cost for that step of refining (which resulted in sodium metal as a bonus sellable item) it is still more profitable than having to pay to properly dispose of the material.
Yeah, you’re really not fighting the allegation that you just wanted to rant. Literally no one brought up Berkeley.
Supposing your unhinged rant is at all accurate, why does any of that matter in the context of the article?
Why does the incredibly shady history of Fluoridation, the long-standing left-wing fight against it, matter in the context of an absolute ninnyhammer saying it’s a right-wing conspiracy?
I don’t know, let’s use our critical thinking skills here for a minute little buddy.
Lol nice condescension, it almost makes you seem like you aren’t just a nutcase screaming into the void.
Never called it a rightwing conspiracy. Continue constructing your strawman, little buddy.

This guy knows his numbers!
How about you first watch a few Count Dracula videos and once you have done thosez you can play with the big numbers again
80 years across 75000 or so individual water systems, once a month at about 10k (pops under 800) to 1 million (for larger cities) per dose.
