Propaganda and gaslighting by the "media" is beyond reality now.
Leave them to bullshit the incels and satanists in the church of the poisoned minds Elon has made of twitter.

After all those years of our American friends mocking British teeth, now they want to join us! 😉🤣

I remember well the introduction of fluoride into the water in the UK in the 60s, and the trepidation of my parents.

Since then all my teeth have fallen out.

Oh no, that was the sweets.

I guess the good news is over here it is a very very small amount of people !!

The issue that makes it easier to latch onto as a genuine risk is that excessive fluoride intake really is extremely harmful...and people can't grasp that there is so little added to water that you would literally die from H2O toxicity before fluoride.

Wait till they hear about coffee.

As we migrate to the blue sky we need to protect scientific integrity with good sources, and we need to make a habit of it. This https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/some-data-on-fluoride/ from Science based medicine goes deep into the lie and explains the general health benefits of fluoridated water.

Yeah I remember that bullshit when I was a kid

They'll be stopping the use of toothpaste too then?

Can someone get Donald to say if he thinks the world is flat or not? I'm guessing he'll say there are good minds on both sides of the argument...

Most of these nonsense theories originate from russia

I can tell you that this one goes back to the crazy John Birch Society - it may be a bit older but I've recently been writing about them and it's theirs

Smells of having an interest in the dental industry increasing their workload/profits

Just look at the source of the article, Bezos’s ‘news’ wing - another excuse to cosy up to Trump.

Something something pineal gland, isn't it?

Yeah, but shoving a UV light up your arse as a defense against COVID-19 is perfectly rational and OK.

petruscrinitus.bsky.social•106 days ago

Ah, but there used to be a wonderful explanation.

If children do not take in fluoride then they will not have to visit the dentist so often.

That means they will not get to read the Readers' Digest in the waiting room so often, and the Reader' Digest explains to them the dangers of communism.

Also, it doesn't matter even if he's right once - a broken clock is right twice a day.
The point is, he's not medically or scientifically qualified to make these decisions (usually made by committee of experts).

It’s not about fluoride. It’s about giving people plenty of things to be scared of so that they will keep voting for the ones who make themselves sound strongest..
