Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that a Trump administration would prioritize removing fluoride from public water systems, a position at odds with major health organizations like the CDC, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, all of which endorse water fluoridation as safe and beneficial for dental health.
Despite Kennedy’s controversial stance on health and environmental issues, which includes previously debunked claims linking vaccines to autism, Trump has praised his passion, stating that Kennedy would have significant freedom to influence health policy if Trump were elected.
Roe v Wade: “This should be decided by the states!”
Fluoride in water: “This should be decided by the federal government!”
???
They’re proposing to ban vaccines too, and they’re not mentioning particular vaccines, just “vaccines”. So no healthcare for trans people or pregnant women, and no vaccines. It’s only a matter of time before someone convinces them antibiotics are the devil’s work.
someone convinces them antibiotics are the devil’s work.
Antibiotics are proof of evolution, since the various microorganisms create resistances to vaccines.
Nothing says pro life like returning to 18th century childhood mortality rates 😎
Anti-what? Ohhh you mean Satan Pills.
Breaking: Trump vows to repeal Ohm’s Law: “States should handle resistance at the local level.”
Don’t we have real problems to solve? Why are Republicans always making up new shit?
More like rehashing old shit. Vaccines are pretty settled science as well.
Because Democrats tend to agree with reality, so if republicans want to oppose them they must insist that reality isn’t true.
Distraction 101. If we’re too busy fighting about stuff like this, we won’t come after them for the stuff they absolutely do not want to address. More often than not, the other side doesn’t really want to do the hard work either, so it’s easy to just fight with them about the meaningless shit and get credit for being the reasonable ones. Meanwhile the homeless camps get larger, the health care gets more expensive, the one income family with a pension for retirement becomes a two income family juggling multiple part time jobs with no benefits, higher education becomes something that traps you in a lifetime of loan debt, and we spend billions to elect people who will address none of it.
Pick up a fiddle and enjoy the view of Rome.
Sometimes I hope I’ll see a starship Enterprise, but it’s looking more like Bell riots and Eugenics wars for the rest of my lifetime.
Vote blue and punch a nazi whenever you can, be the change you want to see.
Mental health.
Great way to send a lot of business to dentists.
A Pynchon-level conspiracy. I suspect we’ll be seeing some more dentist-on-trampoline accidents.
where are brain worms when you need them to finish the job
starved to death.
It’s like a joke unto itself. A brain worm couldn’t survive in RFK’s brain.
Poisoned by his thoughts
How about making sure 100% of US residents have access to clean, safe tap water first? Eliminate lead and forever chemicals. I don’t feel strongly about fluoride, I do feel strongly you should be able to drink water from your kitchen sink without having to worry.
There actually is a huge push to replace ALL lead service lines in the next few years. Also the EPA has extra funding for treatment of “emerging contaminants” which includes PFAS. Republicans are trying (and succeding) to reduce this funding.
What year is this? This was a scare back in the 1970.
Un-fortify the wheat now!

“Precious bodily fluids…”
That’s about the time the worm ate through his brain and stopped any further thinking.
It already starved to death.
“Immediately” means a tweet or Truth Social post by Trump that is so vague no one under him knows exactly what they’re supposed to do to enact his order.
And then right back to Day 1 dictatorial stuff like imprisoning political opponents and the press.
Maybe it’s the brain worm talking because the fluorine would kill it?
This made me laugh so hard, I spit my drink all over my desk. Well played, sir.
What fucking year is this? And while he’s at it, that horses’s ass can get tinfoil hats into circulation to protect against <dumb old ass boomer conspiracy theory bullshit>
God damn it, will all these fossils with their lead poisoned brains just die already?
I used to respect the hell outta my boss. Chief engineer, man can fix and diagnose just about anything. Then he started talking about this guy and how great he is… Like how can someone be so smart yet so so dumb? How can you not apply the same critical thinking into politics as you do into your work? Where does the disconnect come in?
My precious bodily fluids ! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xQyf3QgRP-c
Let’s bring back leaded gasoline and asbestos too!!
Is fluoride the new Frog-engayening agent? 🐸
Flouride makes teeth white. White light passing through a prism makes a rainbow. Therefore, fluoride makes my teeth gay.
RFK, Antivax shit head moron.
Wait what? Oh, for a second I thought he was going to remove Florida.
Reasonable confusion!

Did you do your own research on google?
Dude. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ger.12294 (and many other) actual research paper and meta analysis are saying you’re wrong.
