FL Surgeon General Advises No Fluoridation of Water Post RFK Jr. Warning
Donald Trump poked the bear after winning the election by announcing that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be his Health and Human Services (HHS) nomination.
Kennedy is anti-vax as well as anti-fluoride in water sources.
The latter is catching on, with the Florida Surgeon General just issuing advice for local water plants to stop adding fluoride to their respective water supplies.
Don’t Do It
Kennedy is expected to get significant resistance during his confirmation hearings, as he is not exactly a hit on either the left or right.
For those on MAGA who want to welcome him with open arms, please do not forget that Kennedy is a far-left liberal. Just because he was hated by Democrats does not give him a free pass.
That aside, Kennedy is expected to block quick approval of vaccines such as the COVID-19 vaccine that Trump pushed through as quickly as possible when he was in office the first time.
Kennedy is also expected to ask water suppliers to stop adding fluoride to their local water supplies, something he has been highly critical of in the past.
In fact, Kennedy, after being nominated by Trump, posted, “On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water. Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease.”
Over the last few years, fluoride being added to water supplies has become extremely controversial due to some studies that show it could potentially harm children’s intellectual development.
Dr. Ashley Malin, assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Florida’s College of Public Health and Health Professions, stated, “I think that health effects of fluoride on young children, particularly in the realm of neurodevelopment have been sufficiently studied such that it has now been identified that a hazard to child IQ is present.
“However, I would argue that more research is needed to better understand impacts of chronic low-level fluoride exposure on adult health outcomes because that research is scarce.”
Florida’s Surgeon General appears to be all-in, however, recently making this announcement…
The @FLSurgeonGen just advised ALL FLORIDA COMMUNITIES to stop water fluoridation immediately! 🙌 @FluorideAction

Just based on the online reactions to this announcement, I would suspect there will be considerable pushback on the left because, as far as they are concerned, with RFK Jr. now taking up with Trump, he might as well be the devil himself.
