Rutland resident Jack Crowther has been a longtime critic.

“You’re putting a drug, a medicine, in our water to treat tooth decay without the informed consent of the people,” Crowther said.

"THEY'RE PUTTING MEDICINE IN THE WATER!" frothingfash


Also related, a Richmond, VT waterworks employee secretly lowered fluoride levels in the town's drinking supply for a decade.

Fluoride? Cute. We were talking about that in the 90's. REAL conspiracy heads know they're putting MICROCHIPS in the water, nanometer size so you slurp them right up. The only water that's safe is water that's been sitting for at least a good week or two, you want it brown with the little squirmy things swimming in it, drink that raw water white man.

I only recently watched Dr. Strangelove for the first time a couple of years ago and I laughed my ass off when he started ranting about how Commies don't drink water as I sat there drinking whisky. Such a great movie.

Love water though.

Its an element not a "medicine". Its found naturally already in the water.

Vermont water system fluoride

5 systems already have >0.60 ppm naturally.

Even more private well systems naturally have over 2.00ppm which is the MCL concern level and reccomend expensive reverse osmosis treatment to remove the naturally high levels of "medicine".

Why test a private water supply?

There are geographic areas in Vermont where the naturally occurring fluoride level in the groundwater exceeds the recommended guideline for fluoride of 2.0 parts per million (ppm). The Health Department recommends a reverse osmosis water filtration system to reduce fluoride exposure to a level less than 2.0 ppm in private water supplies that exceed that level.

It is very important that prescriptions are NOT written for children who may already be receiving high levels of naturally fluoridated water. The only way to know for sure is to test the well water for its level of natural fluoride BEFORE prescriptions for supplements are written.

Bit idea -

Let's call it elemental sicko-hexbear-woke. We are putting the WOKE in the water and turning people WOKE so Joe Biden will win again.

fuck-around

Unfortunately it’s the kids who will suffer disproportionately. Fluoride supplementation isn’t really needed for adults, we get enough from our toothpaste, but it’s important for healthy tooth development in kids

If anyone has weird hangups about fluoride or just likes longish internet slop I invite them to watch Angela Collier's explanation of what fluoride is, does, and the falsehoods surrounding the topic.

Real communists have only ever drank Tarkhuna their entire lives. When all your bodily fluids have been replaced by it, you know The Specter has embraced you.
