        Please tell me you aren’t one of those anti-fluoride people.

          I just suggested putting a medicine in the water supply. Why would I be against putting a mineral in the water supply?

            Well for starters, ozempic does have common adverse side effects. So that’s one major difference.

              So does fluoride… It turns your teeth brown.

              It’s just that collectively, as a society, we decided that brown teeth are better than cavity riddled teeth.

              So the intended effect’s value outweighs the negative side effects.

              Exactly like semaglutide.

                Nope I am not engaging with this nonsense. Fluoride is perfectly safe in the water supply. Nobody batted an eye until the right latched onto it as another stupid culture war masking as concerns over personal health. Stop watching xXJoeFreedomXx videos and listen to health professionals. That’s all I’m saying on the matter and it’s for the benefit of onlookers more than you.

                Have a good rest of your week.

                  Hey buddy… You’re the one spouting damned nonsense.

                  I was attempting to help educate you.

                  Look it the fuck up.

                  I don’t get my knowledge from YouTube and I suggest you stop trying to do so yourself.

                    You are being duped.

                    The brown spots are purely cosmetic and a minor trade off for the benefits.

                    Now I’m actually done. The fact that mom‘s for liberty is the biggest force behind this ridiculous “movement“ should indicate to you how bullshit it is.

      It’s a shot that changes your appetite (among other effects). Not sure why what I said contradicts that or implies otherwise.
