We need to put the measles directly in the water.
Let‘s add plenty of ivermectin and a healthy amount of lead too.
Mmmmm ... Lead.
CDC should just ignore him. These people only have the power you give them. Every individual can just be simply disobedient. Keep doing your job and ignore what the Republican clowns in charge direct you to do.
"I order you to end the fluoride recommendations!"
"Sure thing, boss!"
[Weeks pass]
"Did you end the fluoride?"
"Working on it! Gotta a lot of emails to send!"
[Weeks later]
"What's the progress on the fluoride?"
"Still trying to tie up a few loose ends!"
Rinse and repeat until Kennedy's worm-eaten brain falls out his ear
Someone has read up on the Simple Sabotage Field Manual
Then they fire you and hire a sicophant
Edit: ugh, leaving the misspelling to show my shame
"Oh, fire whatstheirname? Sure thing boss. Just gotta send a few emails..."
"You wanted me to fire who? Oh sorry, i got that wrong, i fired that MAGA nepo-baby who was so incompetent, and now the person you want me to fire is doing that job, and we ccan't have it be empty. I'll tell you what. Give me a week or two to find a replacement, and I'll fire...who was that again?"

Following illegal orders is illegal.
yet you sell and eat chlorinated chicken.
The American government wants their citizens sick and stupid.
Well it's not like kids will need their teeth after the measles wipes then out.
I hate the future.
MAGAs often are missing teeth anyway, this just helps them maintain their brand image.

How are they going to mind control the population now though?
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.

Didn't all the tin foil hat wearers say fluoride was how the government controlled our free will at one point? RFK clearly trying to win over another support group. But wait, I thought he was a tin foil hat wearer, too. Clearly he knows something we all don't! The man knows how to do things properly, given his early career in being part of the destruction of Massachusetts with heroin and the legacy that has lasted with it
I guess make america healthy again means more tooth decay and heart disease
When you gut any government assistance or oversight on healthcare and uphold a parasitic for profit industry you have no need for a healthy population. The sicker the better. Can’t work thrown on the streets to die once your assets are siphoned to the shareholders
The dentist is expensive, this will increase the amount of money people need to spend. Makes workers more vulnerable to exploitation - their guiding light, their north star.
Meanwhile other shit that's worse not getting attention
We're getting our policy from Gen. Jack D. Ripper.
Disease prevention and health recommendations from biased politicians, straight to these agencies designed to protect us, where they're ordered to ignore facts and comply. You know, like a functioning, science-respecting democracy does...
Sounds like a good time to be in business as a dentist!
Even the dentists want fluoridation to continue: https://www.ada.org/about/press-releases/community-water-fluoridation-is-effective-at-preventing-cavities

Good, mass medication with out individual consent is morally and ethically wrong.
That's why a lot of European countries don't add fluoride to their water.
Also, consuming fluoride does nothing for your teeth. It needs to remain on your teeth to be beneficial. That's why it's recommended not to drink water or rinse after you brush your teeth at night.
I'm sure you also trust Kennedys recommendations to end measles too. A quick Google search shows that most European countries DO put fluoride in water.
You're not only wrong but highly uneducated.
You are extremely wrong

A lazy ideology, appeal to Eurosupremacy, and factual incorrectness all at once!
this is the guy that has been seeing using a dropper of METHYLENE BLUE into his drink on a flight.
I brush with both fluoride and hydroxyapatite toothpaste... But fluoride in drinking water doesn't really make sense. The fluoride reaction needs coverage and time, which drinking doesn't provide.
Yet the CDC has science that shows otherwise:
What the research shows Studies continue to show that widespread community water fluoridation prevents cavities and saves money, both for families and the health care system.
Drinking fluoridated water keeps teeth strong and reduces cavities by about 25% in children and adults. 34This results in less mouth pain, fewer fillings or teeth pulled, and fewer missed days of work and school.
Communities of 1,000 or more people see an average estimated return on investment (ROI) of $20 for every $1 spent on water fluoridation. The ROI for community water fluoridation increases as the community size increases, but even small communities save money.5 Communities served by fluoridated water save an average of $32 per person a year by avoiding treatment for cavities.5
I only the other hand have... no evidence for my opinion.
But I will keep brushing.

That is an excellent hypothesis. Perhaps if people swished with fluoridated water they would have less cavities. There are also numerous very good studies showing the effects of fluoridation on cities. There have been cities who voted to remove fluoridation, then saw cavities increase, and voted to put it back, resulting in the expected decrease in cavities. So clearly, it works.
