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?”


“THEY’RE PUTTING MEDICINE IN THE WATER!”


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.

Its an element not a “medicine”. Its found naturally already in the water.

Vermont water system fluoride

5 systems already have >0.60 ppm naturally.

Even more private well systems naturally have over 2.00ppm which is the MCL concern level and reccomend expensive reverse osmosis treatment to remove the naturally high levels of “medicine”.

Why test a private water supply?

There are geographic areas in Vermont where the naturally occurring fluoride level in the groundwater exceeds the recommended guideline for fluoride of 2.0 parts per million (ppm). The Health Department recommends a reverse osmosis water filtration system to reduce fluoride exposure to a level less than 2.0 ppm in private water supplies that exceed that level.

It is very important that prescriptions are NOT written for children who may already be receiving high levels of naturally fluoridated water. The only way to know for sure is to test the well water for its level of natural fluoride BEFORE prescriptions for supplements are written.

Bit idea -

Let’s call it elemental . We are putting the WOKE in the water and turning people WOKE so Joe Biden will win again.

So you know that fluorosis is something you can get with too much exposure from just environmental sources, and yet you still want everyone to get an uncontrolled dose of it from the tap water. What do you expect people with fluorosis to do, only drink/bathe in distilled water? What do you expect people who need more fluoride do? Start chugging tap water until they get enough?

Isn’t it better to just it in the toothpaste so everyone gets exactly the amount they need.

Severe fluorosis commonly leads to chronic cases of ligma.

Vermont outside of Burlington is just an awful place. Rutland especially was one of the centers of the opioid epidemic in New England, so you’d think these officials have something better to deal than fluoridated water.
