Trump White House will push to eliminate fluoride from water

Trump will be lucky to push piss from his bladder.

Uh oh. I guess I’d better sign up for a dental plan.

That ain't happening.

Whoever coined the moniker “boiled bitch” for this asshole should take a bow.

It’s the first thing that pops into my head when I see his lobster adjacent visage.

He is watching out for our precious bodily fluids...

Oh good. Your teeth have been depressing us for years.

He is a real freak in terms of his appearance and his voice.

That said, our U.S. pharmaceuticals industry is completely unchecked and the FDA has grown fairly corrupt. No other opinions are allowed other than, “yes” to every med and healthcare trend.

This guy would put some fear in the hearts of Big Pharma that’s for sure and make some of these profit-driven companies think twice. I think the American people would benefit

That’s complete fucking nonsense. Trump isn’t letting that wacko make any decisions.

The anti-fluoride brigade always brings up that Europe does fluoridate water but many do and others fluoridate salt. Other countries have naturally high fluoride in their water

This has been one of the cornerstones of the John Birch Society since the 50’s. They were the absolute loony bin Birchers who have been shunned by moth major parties since their founding.. Republicans wanted nothing to do with them. They wanted nothing to do with anti-vax crazies, for that matter. It’s absolutely insane how it took only a decade or two for the fringiest of radioactive political positions to get mainstreamed by the Republican Party. They truly lost their minds seeing a black man get elected president. When the teabaggers started to pipe down post-2012 I thought the worst was behind us. How wrong I was.

Many European countries fluoridate milk. All support applying fluoride treatments to kids

He's almost in Rosanne Barr territory. His only redeeming fact is that he will siphon off votes from Trump in those states where he is still on ballot. And DLers, I ask your forgiveness for ever harboring sympathy for Cheryl Hines!

I'm apathetic on the fluoride issue. But so long as children and adults brush their teeth, is fluoride really necessary in the water?

The thing is, r15, a lot of poorer children don’t have parents who are diligent enough to make sure their kids brush twice a day. The parent(s) are usually working long hours just to keep a roof.

Also, if I’m not mistaken, Medicaid doesn’t cover dental. Neither does Medicare. You have to buy separate dental insurance and it costs. Plus, finding a dentist that will accept it.

Take the fluoride out of the water and there will plenty of kids AND adults with busted ass grills and secondary infections. More antibiotics, more burden on the healthcare system.

It’s all to make money for the healthcare industry and pharmaceutical companies. No other reason. The thugs want people sick, poor and too dumb to roll the guillotines.

I nevah had sympathy for that car wash cunt!

I’ve heard the arguments of the anti-fluoride folks and some seem to have merit:

For example, fluoride only works on growing teeth (childrens teeth mainly). Also, some cancer rates are higher where fluoride is higher (may be correlation, not causation). We do get fluoride so many other ways that we’re not dependent on water fluoride.

That said, the benefits do outweigh the problems. When Calgary took fluoride out of its water, tooth decay shot up massively.

R15, this is the U.S. — you can’t count on people using any type of preventative treatment unless you literally put it in the water.

I thought it was Kennedy's aunt who had the lobotomy?

The most telling thing here is RFK stating that this will happen on tRumps first day in the WH.

tRump says he hasn't even talked to him about it.

Of course they're both liars but this just shows RFK is batshit crazy and tRump has no idea what is going on around him.

God help us.

There’s a reason half of the Kennedys would try and minimize whatever exposure their kids had to RFK’s kids.

A Kennedy shouldn't be allowed to have any opinion regarding teeth

How about the people who are anti- fluoride buy their special water the same place they do their many supplements, and leave the rest of us alone?

It's fine they want to choose to drink water without it and risk tooth decay and infection but they are not the majority so they should not get to decide for the rest of us.

Also, who the fuck is going to PAY for this? The American Dental Association? Is RFK, Jr going to charge toothpaste companies?

This guy is a bad joke.

RFK Jr. says fluoride is ‘an industrial waste’ linked to cancer, diseases and disorders.

When I become secretary of HHS, my first official act will be to eliminate all car wash cunts, with the able assistance of my lovely wife.

OP- My doctor told me fluoridated water is bullshit( not his exact words). It’s rare to find fluoridated water in municipal water systems in Western Europe.

Where’d that boiled bitch get his brain worm? And hasn’t it starved already?

He has a beautiful speaking voice!

As a US citizen I wonder if we are gonna have to sneak into Mexico to get fluoride and get vaccines. The loonies are trying to get in charge of running the asylum. I honestly blame the moving of manufacturing to the Chinas and Mexico's, in other words the capitalists want more profit and few environmental regs. It is that simple. The link here is once manufacturing is gone all a country has left is court games and gambling, gambling arguably is a court game in that they sanction it . There is nothing to sharpen the minds of the people.They fall into an unchecked fantasy world where aspirations and imagination have no basis in reality. As long as the check comes in the mail people don't have to respect reality. When it doesn't theirs cheap fentanyl and meth and booze to keep it at bay. Harris needs to win and continue bribing capitalists to do manufacturing in the USA. Biden has set us on this course and I believe it's the right one. Congress could make the changes to bring manufacturing back in 1 second if they chose to.

You just described Russia R32.

RFK Jr. really is an idiot's IDIOT!

Even fucking TRUMP probably looks at RFK Jr and thinks, "Bit of an oddball, isn't he?"

Well, I think I can now understand better why this disgusting wretch has always had such a large empty cavity in his head.

He shits bath salts.

Lol at Kennedy and his band of morons believing that Trump will have any use for him once he steals back his votes.

[quote]Lol at Kennedy and his band of morons believing that Trump will have any use for him once he steals back his votes.

A huge number of his first terms appointees have disavowed cheeto.

He's got to put someone in those positions. And really, is RFK any loonier than any of the other people who would take a position in his administration?

But what will this do Cheryl's chompers????

[Quote] It’s rare to find fluoridated water in municipal water systems in Western Europe.

Actually it’s not. Many European countries add fluoride to water. Others add it to salt or milk.

All support fluoride varnishes for kids

I get the fluoride treatment at the dentist 2x per year. I get the peppermint flavor. The other choices are cherry and caramel. 🤮

The fluoride conspiracy has been around for at least as long as the 9/11 ones.

And Chem trails! Just ask crazy Kelli Ward of Arizona.

Before fluoridation, dentists made their money filling cavities and pulling bad teeth. After fluoridation, that business dropped off so much that the profession moved to emphasizing cosmetic procedures (braces, whitening, veneers).

God. If he wins, his geriatric administration is going to revive every hot button issue of the 1980s.

R43, it's much older than that; it's major plot point in "Dr. Strangelove,' from 1964. One writer called the fluoridation-obsessed Gen. Jack D. Ripper (quoted by R5) "the father of the modern health food movement."

how will we lower our children's IQs if we don't poison our public water supplies with a known neurotoxin?

Make America's Teeth Rot Out

....a slogan for a new generation, by Brainworm Bob

Iss alright, I heared Ivermectin is good fer the teefs so imma take it. President Trump wouldn't steer me wrong.

[quote]I'm apathetic on the fluoride issue. But so long as children and adults brush their teeth, is fluoride really necessary in the water?

I don't know when fluoride came in in the US, but in New South Wales it was introduced into the main water supply in 1968, when I was 11. I had teeth filled almost every time I went to the dentist throughout my childhood and teens. My sister, who had just gained her adult teeth a year before 1968, never had a filling in them up to the age of 25. (I haven't grilled her on her record since.) I was probably MORE conscientious about brushing than she was. That's the difference fluoride made. Dentists have told me they see the difference like a line was drawn.

There also wasn't fluoride in toothpaste when I was a young kid, whereas by the time it got into the water it was widespread in toothpaste. So my sister benefited both ways.

R45 is completely right, too. Middle class Americans routinely got braces and had perfect teeth even when I was young, but nobody else did (cf Britain). Now most middle class people in developed countries do. The other popular cosmetic dental procedures all followed fluoridation.

It's MAGA that will suffer. All their kids will get cavities.

I grew up in New Zealand with fluoride in the water and I'm 55 now and I have never had a cavity or filling in my entire life.

RFK Jr. says you'll develop arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders and thyroid disease any minute now, R53.

As someone with inherited soft hillbilly teeth, I can’t imagine what my childhood dentist visits would have been like without fluoride in the water. I sure as hell brushed and flossed and did everything important.

The only IQ we lose is listening to these idiots speak. I guess they have no plans to make any kind of health care more affordable.

Good! Maybe he will do something about backward masking and the crack cocaine epidemic too.

And satanic panic!

Is it Bob who has the medical degree or the brainworm?

Just wondering which of them has been to medical school.
