Health secretary makes announcement as EPA reviews ‘new scientific information’ into potential health risks

Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he will direct the CDC to stop recommending fluoridated drinking water and form a taskforce to review health concerns.

His announcement follows Utah’s statewide ban on fluoride, the first in the U.S., despite warnings from dental and health organizations.

Kennedy praised Utah’s move and labeled fluoride a “dangerous neurotoxin.” The EPA, under Administrator Lee Zeldin, is reviewing new data on fluoride’s health risks.

Critics argue the effort is politically driven and will harm low-income communities by increasing cavity rates.

      It’s fascinating how some people, however fringe, believe both:

      • that there is a Deep State or some other form of conspiracy that controls hurricanes and people’s minds; and
      • that Trump –or anyone else for that matter– can rein in such a powerful, almost omnipotent force.

        They are low intelligence, and that makes them suspicious of every aspect of life that they didn’t learn about before the age of 10.

        They recognize Trump is just as stupid (or ‘normal’ as they choose to think of it) as they are, but since he is successful they see that as evidence that some supernatural element is supporting him, either god or some genetic aspect of being a wealthy white that enables him to win.
