How many Covid jabs did you get?
I think what you are getting at is that Republicans used to trust big corporations and Democrats were more likely to be skeptical of them. Now it has reversed, and many on the right side no longer trust big business. That may or may not be valid, but there you are.
mRNA shots were also supposed to be safe and effective…
Okay, I will look it up. I had just not heard him mention it before. The funny thing is, I had always heard that the anti-fluoride movement came from the right.
Is that the only issue?
I’ve heard from dentists that it is not useful to the teeth after childhood and is demonstrably harmful to adults in studies.
What about about processed and highly-processed foods? Even though we have many, many studies showing the how these foods impact of these on health, so you think people who want to limit the amount of processed foods they eat are evil or kooks?
If anything, flouride should only be applied topically to the teeth.
Had it all my life. 141.
What could have been...
Well its not dangerous to us because we filter it out through our Berkey waterfilter.
They never defend “Big Corp” (well, except Pharm when they wanted the shots).
Things are very complex and yet simple, in an “open” society. Of course US goes for the cheapest. It’s not nefarious, it’s just making things more accessible for the most people - and then that gets pissed on by everyone as also being evil.
Tired of the communist arguments.
In truth, we are fascist - so many rules mandated on everyone, including “evil corp” that force some of these things. Sugar subsidies e.g. Dems largely make rules on everything even ordinary people do, and that is the definition of fascist. They do it because they don’t have full communist control yet.
So, the answer to your question is that something, somewhere, and likely a whole bunch of rules, made those corps survive by resorting to using things you think are bad (even if that’s not true). We are not as free as we should be. If we were, maybe things would be more to your liking.

Effect of a High Fluoride Water Supply on Children’s Intelligence

In Shanxi Province, China, children living in the endemic fluoride village of Sima (water supply F = 4.12 mg/L) located near Xiaoyi City had average IQ (97.69) significantly lower (p < 0.02) than children living to the north in the nonendemic village of Xinghua (F = 0.91 mg/L; average IQ = 105.21). These differences were not associated with gender, but the IQ scores were directly related to educational level of the parents.

Effect of fluoride in drinking water on children’s intelligence.

SUMMARY: The Intelligence Quotient (IQ) was measured in 512 children, aged 8-13 years, sliving in two villages in Sihong County, Jiangsu Province, China, differing in the level of fluoride in their drinking water. In the high-fluoride village of Wamiao (water-fluoride: 2.47+0.79 mg/L; range: 0.57-4.50 mg/L), the mean IQ of 222 children was significantly lower (92.02=13.00; range: 54-126) than in the low-fluoride village of Xinhuai (water fluoride: 0.36+0.15 mg/L; range: 0.18-0.76 mg/L), where the mean IQ of 290 children was higher (100.41+13.21; range 60-128). The children’s IQs were not related to urinary iodine, family income, or parent’s education level. Higher drinking water fluoride levels were significantly associated with higher rates of mental retardation (IQ <70) and borderline intelligence (IQ 70-79). The Benchmark Concentration (BMC) for the concentration-response relationship between IQ confidence limit (BMCL) of the BMC was 1.85 mg/L. Taking dental fluorosis and other sources of dietary fluoride into account, the reference value concentration (RfC) for fluoride was calculated to be 0.925 mg/L, which is very close to the current national Chinese standard of <1.0 mg/L. In endemic fluorosis areas, drinking water fluoride levels greater than 1.0 mg/L may adversely affect the development of children’s intelligence.
These are the same kind of ‘scientiests’ who said if you got the shot you wouldn’t get COVID
Liberal liars.
Why is communist to be a patriot?
I chew on xylitol gum. the xylitol protects my teeth from tooth decay and even improves the teeth a bit.
xylitol is the active ingredient in birch bark that indians chewed on back in the great bye and bye.
Yes I don’t like the rushed COVID vaccines (pushed by a certain someone). Biology should not be rushed, so I don’t trust them. 2nd, COVID was not proven to be a huge killer, so the importance was dubious anyway. Everyone acted so stupidly and tyrannically in those years, without any thoughtfulness, so it really should not have been activated in that insane environment anyway.

What does fluoride have to do with patriotism?
The communism is the hand-wring accusatory arguments against “evil corporations”. It happens, but it’s because they are people - some are good, some bad, many waver. Communists routinely demonize capitalist entities, which includes of course, those corps.
(I don’t even think “BigPharma” is evil - yet FR turned on them big time just because of COVID and got to sounding more like the thing they say they despise.)
