RFK Jr. says a Trump White House would immediately push to remove fluoride from water

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.

When you dismiss other scientific evidence like this, it makes it seem less like you are mindfully sharing research for open discussion, and more like you have a link to use as "ammunition" to defend the conclusion you've already reached (and won't be reasoned out of)

These people use research the same way a drunkard uses a lamppost - for support rather than illumination.

(Paraphrasing)

And didn't even fucking read the article they are attempting to use as ammunition, to boot, the article specifically denies the point they're trying to make
