Putting flouride in water is socialized medicine.
I can die now. I’ve heard everything.
Well, it is. Just because it doesn’t involve second rate clinics with long waiting lists and the usual banes we think of when we think of a socialized medical system, doesn’t hide what it is seeking to do. What would you think if we insisted all public water had to be fortified with Vitamin C?
seeing as dentistry is a subset of medical training, this flouride thing is medicine. when the government mandates it and makes you pay for it, if you want it or not, that is socialistic. the benifits are minor, the potential drawbacks might be deadly. it is wasteful as maybe only 1% of the flouridated water is consumed, the other 99% is put on lawns, gardens, and used for washing.
the benifit of flouride for teeth does not require the injestion of the flouride, so why are we injesting it??? (note the warning on fluoridated toothpaste: “Do NOT swallow”)
not only is this socialist, it like most all gtovernment mandates is wasteful, 99% of the drug is wasted in toilets, showers, gardens and lawns, heck I even wash my car with this drug.
I’ll take free choice any day.
Please dont die yet, there is more to hear.
