Corporate Media Condemns Water De-Fluoridation as Racist as RFK Jr. Poised to Clean House

Joyous Thanksgiving tidings, dear AP readers. Itโ€™s been just another rainy day here in Southeast Asia with not a green bean casserole or pumpkin pie to be had. Hereโ€™s hoping yours is more festive.

โ€œWhatโ€™s good for the goose is good for the gander,โ€ my Midwestern Irish-Catholic grandmammy often opined, dispensing wisdom as she was wont to do over her morning copy of The Topeka Capitol-Journal, which she treasured second only to the Holy Book, musing over whatever latest hypocritical undertakings of the day by the governing authorities.

The goose/gander logic applied: if the administrative state can unilaterally dump toxic chemicals into the public water supply and call it medicine, a new, duly elected administration in control of the Public Healthโ„ข apparatus spearheaded by RFK Jr. can remove it unilaterally and the criminals who run The Scienceโ„ข can suck a fat dick. They ought to consider themselves supremely lucky if all they get for the next four years is discredited, as they deserve far worse.

On the rare occasion that itโ€™s used to actually improve public health, MSNBC is inclined to disagree with executive prerogative as I outlined above:

โ€œSince 1945, local governments have added fluoride to U.S. drinking water in order to stop tooth decay, especially in young children. Itโ€™s considered one of this countryโ€™s greatest public health achievements. But Kennedy has repeatedly expressed skepticism about putting fluoride in the water and indicated he might encourage local municipalities to do away with their water fluoridation programsโ€ฆ

Just to be clear, there are real consequences to removing fluoride from the water. Stat News reports that the city of Juneau, Alaska removed fluoride form the drinking water in 2007. Research showed that dental procedures related to cavities increased after Juneau got rid of that fluoride, particularly among children in socioeconomically disadvantaged families. โ€˜I would go as far as to say that community water fluoridation is probably our best health equity-oriented public health intervention that we have,โ€™ said Jennifer Meyer, a nurse and professor of health sciences at the University of Alaska, Anchorage.โ€

(At 8:00, this pair of MSNBC twats also attacks ivermectin and raw milk with similar talking points. The horror of raw milk! If you never looked into the pasteurization thing and how it was cynically used to industrialize dairy production for the benefit of food corporations โ€” in other words, modern-day MSNBC advertisers โ€” you should. Maybe Iโ€™ll write a piece about it at some point.)

Via the aforementionedย Stat Newsย article (emphasis added):

โ€œFluoridation has also spurred controversy. Because of its ubiquity, itโ€™s โ€œkind of a perfect conspiracy theory. Fluoride is invisible. Itโ€™s in the drinking water. The government has forced it down your throat, literally and figuratively,โ€ Dallek addโ€ฆ

A common concern cited by anti-fluoridation activists in recent years is a controversial 2019 study linking small decreases in childrenโ€™s IQ to maternal exposure to fluoridation. But several experts note that the association is not causative* and that there were important limitations to the study, such as conducting IQ tests at ages 3 and 4 โ€” before the test is reliable because most children cannot read at that age.โ€

*Wrong. See:ย Report: The Scienceโ„ข Hid Data That Fluoride Lowers IQ

Viaย Word in Blackย (emphasis added):

โ€œKennedy wantsโ€ฆ to enact a range of controversial moves that would be harmful to Black people, from removing fluoride from the public water supply to promoting anti-vaccination conspiracy theories**, some of which have been aimed at the Black communityโ€ฆ

Getting rid of fluoride could be a big problem for Americans in general and Black Americans in particular. Research has found Black Americans have worse oral health than their white peers, and they are more susceptible to diseases that are worsened by poor oral healthโ€ฆ

The health of Black Americans could get worse with Kennedy working in a second Trump administration.โ€

**Black Americans donโ€™t trust vaccines because of real and abhorrent historical transgressions like the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment in which the trust experts injected blacks with syphilis without their knowledge or consent โ€” just to see what would happen.

Weird how certain historical facts never get a nod from the race-obsessed DEI grifters at MSNBC, no? Surely their heavy dependence on pharmaceutical advertising bucks has nothing whatsoever to do with their editorial process.
