RFK Jr. Sparks Outrage with Bold Move to Ban Fluoride—Media Goes on the Attack!

After Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans to ban fluoride in drinking water under President-elect Donald Trump, mainstream media outlets published critical pieces against him. Thailand-based independent journalist Ben Bartee reported that Kennedy confirmed the proposed ban, specifically targeting fluorosilicic acid, a toxic fluoride compound and industrial byproduct from fertilizer production.

Bartee argued that corporate media, along with their "experts," opposed Kennedy’s stance to end fluoride’s use without public consent. He referenced a Washington Post article, owned by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, which labeled Kennedy an "anti-vaccine activist" and expressed concern over ending fluoridation—a practice public health officials have long praised.

Water fluoridation began in Michigan in 1945, and by 1962, the U.S. Public Health Service recommended adding low fluoride levels to drinking water to strengthen teeth. Today, over 200 million Americans receive fluoridated water, according to the CDC.

Bartee questioned the media’s strong support for keeping an industrial waste product in water, suggesting it may serve a larger purpose. He highlighted recent court rulings on fluoride’s effects, including a decision by U.S. Senior District Judge Edward M. Chen, who cited evidence that typical U.S. fluoride levels may lower children’s IQ. Chen’s September 24 ruling directed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take regulatory action under the Toxic Substances Control Act.

Judge Chen wrote that water fluoridation at 0.7 milligrams per liter poses an "unreasonable risk" to children’s IQ. He clarified, however, that this finding doesn’t definitively conclude fluoride’s harm to public health but suggests that the risk warrants EPA intervention.
