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.

"Mandrake, have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?" strangelove-wow

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

EDIT: I should've updated this a month ago, but the town voted to keep fluoride.

Fluoride is naturally occuring in water in some places, especially if you use wellwater.

Is wellwater fluoridated?

e: I'm sorry if I am coming across as if I'm asking in bad faith. I'm not. And I'm sorry about my first comment. It was uncalled for.

I'm genuinely struggling to create an image in my head of the exact person you're concerned about. Can we do a Discord call/chat at some point to hash this out? That'd be better than sniping at each other here in public.

Someone who already has high exposure due to environmental reasons (work, they use well water at home, they accidentally drank too much instant tea) having their situation exasperbated when they also drink tap water (imagine if a child uses well water home, tap water at school). Well water has high fluoride because fluoride is a mineral and it's just naturally occuring in a lot of places at high quanities.

Dw you're far nicer than everyone else dunking on me rn. lol
