Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he will direct the CDC to stop recommending fluoridated drinking water and form a taskforce to review health concerns.
His announcement follows Utah’s statewide ban on fluoride, the first in the U.S., despite warnings from dental and health organizations.
Kennedy praised Utah’s move and labeled fluoride a “dangerous neurotoxin.” The EPA, under Administrator Lee Zeldin, is reviewing new data on fluoride’s health risks.
Critics argue the effort is politically driven and will harm low-income communities by increasing cavity rates.
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
